15 Gorgeous Granite Countertops

6. The All-White Effect

Much like the first example, this kitchen opts for two colors of granite for its countertop. Here, though, the effect is inverted, with the light granite of the island creating a cool white vibe for the space.

7. With Black Cabinetry

A darker granite with flecks of brown can also work excellently in a kitchen that features dark-brown or all-black cabinetry. Notice how it brightens up the space just enough here.

8. A Rosier Side of Things

Attempting to create an almost rustic vibe, this kitchen design makes use of a rosy granite for its countertop. This serves to brighten up the space, and the choice is also an excellent contrast for the dark hardwood floor.

9. Polished Black

Another counter-intuitive way to add a sense of brightness to your kitchen design is to pair white cabinets with a polished black granite countertop that features high gloss.

10. Sexy Black

There can be no doubt that black granite countertops are a sexy choice for a kitchen design. This is especially true of the granite features an attractive pattern as the countertops in this example do.
