What color granite to use?

11 years ago

I am remodeling my bathroom and I recently had the entire bathroom tiled. I am changing light fixtures, hardware, faucets, shower door to oil rubbed bronze. I am going to paint the bathroom a light color, maybe cream, so that I can use seafoam colored towels and be able to change to different colors. My problem is what granite I should use to look good with my medium oak cabinets and to keep a spa feel?

Granite will never be out of style. It's a natural stone with the natural beauty of its veins and coloration. There is more maintenance because you do have to seal it. There is something about having natural stone in your home that excites people that use granite for that reason. Your question about what color to use. I would just pick something that you love because no matter what you put in there if you love the stones for the coloration, you will love the room when you're done.
