Tips for Choosing the Perfect Granite

by MeesTileConnect / Monday, 19 February 2018 / Published in Design, Mees Tile, Services

Whether you’re picking out granite for your home remodel or selecting stone for a new build, color selection is important. As one of the largest granite importers in Kentucky we know a thing or two about selecting the right granite slabs. Here are a few things you should consider:

Lighting

When choosing granite for a room, analyze the lighting. Dark granite is an excellent choice for rooms with a lot of natural light, or if you’re concerned about dirt showing. Speckled stone and lighter granite go well in smaller rooms. Factor in the size of the room with the amount of light. This is important because dark stone can make rooms appear smaller.




Say Yes to Samples

Although small granite samples may not authentically represent the entire granite slab, bring a few to your home and view them against your floors and cabinetry along with the lighting. Bringing a stone into its potential setting is a beneficial way to see how it ties in all elements of a room.



Bring Materials to the Showrooms

When visiting our showrooms to make granite selections, bring samples of your wooden cabinets, flooring, and paint colors. Take photos in different lighting and bring them to the store. Also consider additional items like appliances, window treatments and furniture. Remember, no two stones are the same. Depending on the slab, some colors may be lighter or darker, which may sway a decision. Our Showrooms allow you to see variations in the stone to make a selection.Don’t forget, at Mees, our fabrication department will create custom slabs for your project and the best part is when placing an order you only pay for the amount you need. Visit our showrooms today to view our assortment of stone.
