There are many different styles of kitchen designs that range from the eclectic to the classic. Remodeling of a Bloomington, MN home is a great time to consider the options and then choose a kitchen design that suits your personal preferences and taste.
Of course, once the design is selected, it is important to then choose the materials for the flooring, cabinets, countertops and the fixtures. One of the most versatile options for the counters is the choice of granite. As a natural stone, granite countertops work well in any style and can easily match any color scheme.
Contemporary
The contemporary or modern kitchen design tends to feature a minimalistic approach to details and design, with the overall look one of function and purpose as well as great lines and choice of materials and textures.
Many of these kitchens feature white and black or natural wood elements, and granite countertops in earthy tones, particularly the lighter earthy tones, really add to the style and design. Creams, off-whites, and patterns of blacks, grays, and other earth tones add a subtle design element to offset the stark white, black and chrome often prominently featured in this kitchen style.
Traditional
The traditional style of kitchen features more design elements and additional details in the counters, cabinets and the overall design. Often very open and welcoming, these kitchens often use neutral colors on cabinets such as off-white, gray, taupes, browns or natural wood.
Warm colors in granite countertops that include mixtures of grays, blues, blacks, and even oranges and subdued reds give that traditional feel to the countertop area.
Farmhouse/Rustic
The farmhouse or rustic type of kitchen features prominent wood cabinets and floors, large islands, open spaces and a look of comfort and durability in the design. Darker colors of granite are a perfect option, creating a balance and harmony with the other colors in the design.
Simple edge profiles and functional design elements throughout these kitchens make them a favorite for Bloomington, MN, kitchen upgrades.
