Trying to decide on a specific color for a countertop for any home in Shakopee is always a bit of a challenge. Today, with the various options in styles, patterns, and colors of natural stone, it is possible to match the counters with flooring, cabinets and design theme with relative ease.
To take the stress and challenge out of finding the ideal color and pattern in the natural stone for any kitchen or bathroom countertops, use the following ideas and strategies to narrow down your choices and make the final decision easier.
Get Ideas
The internet makes it easy to see various types of natural stone countertops in real homes. Check out the galleries with local natural stone providers in Shakopee, paying particular attention to their projects or gallery pages. This will allow you to see different colors of stone with various woods, cabinet colors and even flooring and kitchen designs.
Other places to check for ideas include Pinterest sites, home renovation websites and specific sites on kitchen or bathroom renovations. Remember, for ideas you can look anywhere and sometimes unique ideas will be found on some of the most unlikely of websites.
Go See the Stone
While the new technology used in monitors provides a very real look to images, there is something very different about seeing the stone in real life and in natural lighting.
Take the time to go to the showroom and look at the slabs of marble or granite and check out the quartz and other natural stone options in the display area. Remember, each slab will have slight variations in patterns, colors, and veining, which is all part of the charm of choosing natural stone.
By seeing the slabs or sample kitchens or bathroom countertops in real life, you will typically notice a greater depth and vibrancy or richness in colors. If you can, bring a sample of cabinet wood or flooring to compare side by side before making a selection.
