Mixing Granite Countertops
Mixing granite means using two or three different pieces of granite in the same area. This can be achieved in several different ways.
- Use a bold choice for the main countertop area, then add a second countertop that is a lighter tone with a more understated pattern for the island, backsplash, and secondary countertops.
- Use a bold pattern or strong statement piece for the island and then a more patterned granite for the surrounding countertops.
- Use a bright color for the bar and a more subtle color for the surrounding countertops and/or the backsplash.
