Fix LED glare on granite countertop?? Help please!
Comments (4)Glare is not unique to LED lighting. To reduce glare, either dim it, angle it or get a more diffuse light source (eg - uniLume). FWIW, there is a long running thread on UCL. Here is a link that might be useful: LED UCL continuation...See MoreRegretting granite countertop choice...help!
Comments (143)I think the problem is the backsplash. Not that it isn't lovely, but it's got a large scale pattern compared to the granite which makes it pop. You certainly don't want to look for a granite that matches its punch. I do not think you will ever get the right colors in the slab of granite that don't create a different buzz..

Comments (11)I am a huge fan of virginia mist. Bbbbbuuuuuuuttttttttt I have to agree with Desertsteph. You don't want to be stuck in a sea of grey, black and more grey. And you are very lucky to have black as your cabinet color. Most granite will work. Granite is rock and most rocks have some gray or black in them. Go for an exotic color or someting lighter with a touch or tiny speck of gray/black and it will work wonderfully. Here are some ideas to think about. And for those who voted Virginia Jet Mist. I love you all as I love Jet mist with a passion. Lets give Nilgris some things to consider before rushing to Jet mist. Because truthfully all would go with her elements. ~boxer This is from Weidiii's Kitchen.
