Blue kitchen countertops: a unique and refreshing look for your kitchen

Why should I go for blue?

A reason people have avoided using blue in the kitchen might be its lack of occurrence in natural stones.

In the past, if someone wanted a blue stone as their countertop, their only option was to use a rare natural slab which few could afford, so blue has never really got recognized as a ‘traditional’ color.

Nowadays, however – although blue in natural stones is still rare compared to other shades – there are various alternatives to choose from, including less pricey materials.

The other reason people might be reluctant to use blue is the fear that it will stand out too much – again, due to it being a less common sight in kitchens than grey or brown, for example.

However, this color will not only make your kitchen look unique, but depending on the shade it can create a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere resembling the sea and sky.

Make the most of your blue kitchen countertops!

Blue is a truly versatile color when it comes to different hues and patterns – a vibrant version can make a room look fresh and lively, while a darker tone might radiate an enigmatic and elegant feel.

There is also a wide variety of materials to choose from, including:

• quartzite – a natural stone that comes in an array of patterns, quartzite might be a great choice if you’re going for a truly unique look combined with durability.
• granite – this natural stone can also occur in different shades of blue, and it is one of the hardest materials you can find, making it a trustworthy companion in your kitchen.
• quartz – although similar in name to quartzite, this material is man-made, meaning that a blue version of it can be less pricey than the natural stones with this color.
• porcelain – this artificial material is very practical as it requires low maintenance, and you can also find it in a variety of colors and styles including blue.

If you want a fitting cabinet that will complement and enhance your beautiful blue countertop, you should probably go for a plain or natural color like white, grey, black, or even wood.
