Your bathroom countertop is incredibly important for how the room comes together, which means that bathroom countertop colors take serious thought.
In this article, we’ll give you some bathroom details to consider as you navigate the world of custom bathroom countertops and their colors.
The Room Over Time
As you choose a pattern or color for your bathroom countertop, you’ll undoubtedly be trying to complement the look of the room as it stands. But it’s important to remember that the paint and accessories of your bathroom may change over time. Your tastes may shift, or you might want a complete overhaul down the road.
This might be nearly impossible to do if you chose a strong and bold bathroom countertop color that coincides with the first round of paint in the room. This type of choice can become outdated in the blink of an eye. So instead of going down that route, consider a slab with veining colors that you like or simple splashes of pretty shades so you can keep the countertop subtle and malleable to change.
Look at the Undertone
To get the exact right look out of your bathroom, you’ve got to understand the undertones and the shades that go with them. There’s the potential to make your bathroom come together in an amazing way, but if you haven’t grasped your undertones, things might end in disaster.
If you have cherry wood cabinetry in your bathroom, blue or green-shaded countertops will bring out the red tones in them. If your cabinets or flooring have yellow or orange undertones, gray or blue counters will make that undertone even stronger.
Getting to know the color wheel will help you avoid a clash with the countertops, and this is another aspect where veining or speckles in a countertop can really help. They provide the color pops that you’re looking for without overwhelming the space or changing any of the other elements in the room.
Get Countertop Samples
It’s typical for people to make decisions about their countertops while in a store with wood samples and paint strips in front of them. But while these samples can be helpful, they don’t come from your exact bathroom.
To get the best idea of what will work in your space, you’ve got to bring countertop samples home. This way, you can see how your unique lighting hits them and how all the elements come together in the area where they’ll be installed.
Consider Accessories
If you like a lot of accessories in your bathroom, you’ll want a countertop pattern that offsets that vibe—so keep it simple. If you’re someone who’d prefer a bathroom decorated more starkly, consider a countertop with a bolder pattern since people’s attention won’t be swayed anywhere else. Balance is important for decor details like this!
