Soft pink countertops will look excellent with green cupboards or backsplashes, while saturated bright retro red countertops will pair well with neutral paint.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inspires unique interior designs<\/strong> \u2014 Choosing a red granite countertop in a deep, dramatic shade can help inspire your design for the other elements around it. If you\u2019re stumped for kitchen design, pick vibrant red countertops to kick off your blueprint.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pairs well with a kitchen diner<\/strong> \u2014 Do you have a breakfast nook or kitchen diner?

Here are the best design ideas for red countertops.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 1. Red Granite Countertops with White Cabinets<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Bright red countertops with flat white cabinets look snazzy but also bring a vintage flair to your kitchen. Pairing this design with softly-hued floor coverings like wood in a light, dusty brown, or gray will soften this bold look. Flat panel cabinets give your kitchen a retro flavor but also keep the space looking modern with the red countertop.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Red Countertop and Wood Cabinets\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A kitchen with many shades of brown and natural woods can look incredibly cozy when paired with red granite countertops. The wood stain and finish will ultimately determine which specific shade of red countertop you\u2019ll ultimately choose that will pull the space together.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Red Countertop with Colorful Cabinets<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Create one of a kind style all your own with a red countertop and colorful cabinets. It\u2019s fun, artistic, and bold, and you won\u2019t find it anywhere else. Pairing red countertops with cabinets in various shades will make your house the envy and talk of the block.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Retro Red Countertops<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In years past, playful patterns dominated the home. Bring a little vintage flair to your kitchen with retro red countertops. Bold red countertops matched with clean white appliances and cabinets and a checkered floor pattern pull this look off with a flourish.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Red Countertop Island<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want just a pop of color? If your kitchen is outfitted in neutral white or gray cabinets and flooring, you can get a pop of color when you top your island off in red. This simple detail will keep the kitchen looking clean without being sterile and stuffy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Red Granite Countertops with Countertops of Other Colors\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another creative design choice is to combine different countertop colors throughout your space. This can work really well in larger kitchens with ample countertop real estate to work with. For example, you can do black countertops for the main working area and red for an island to divide it.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on your home decor, black and red granite countertops might be a good choice for moodier spaces. Red and white granite countertops give a sleek, bright look, while gray and red granite countertops bring softness.<\/p>\n<p>Dividing your kitchen into several color zones is another way to go \u2014 especially if you\u2019re hesitant to go all out with red.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Red Granite Countertops with Veins\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another option is to use inverse color schemes with a different color granite with red veins. For example, you have the option of installing white granite with red veins, or black granite with red veins. You can outfit the whole kitchen with inverse color red granite veins, or use these stones in different shades for different workstations throughout the kitchen.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Choosing the right shade of red for your countertops comes down to matching your cabinetry and flooring to the red granite. Rustic, traditional kitchens look best with more muted, dusty reds or brownish reds in a matte finish. A more modern kitchen aesthetic will look great with primary reds, ample black veining, and in either matte or glossy finishes.<\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/\">Granite Selection<\/a>, we offer one of the most extensive lines of granite countertops in the Chicago area.
