need help - kitchen counter top
We are doing a remodel - the kitchen is open to the dining room and den. I keep going back and forth on the countertops - thought about dark/almost black but feel it may be too dark and also thought about quartz with veining but can't find one that I love. Our cabinets will be white shaker and we have medium tone wood flooring. What do you think of doing this quartz on the perimeter counter top -
and doing this porcelain slab on the island AND backsplash -
Thanks, in advance, for your help! Here is our kitchen layout if that helps too -

Comments (3)Actually, the folks on the kitchen forum are pretty great at stuff like this! But, in any case, have you checked out the finished kitchens blog? Here is the link. You can use the search function to limit your choices to kitchens with cherry cabinets and go from there. Perhaps you can get a feel there for what color combinations speak to you.

Comments (1)I think white would be a nice contrast. I've attached a link to a GW member's (kellienoelle) kitchen that used Delicatus granite & a classic white backsplash.

Comments (28)Sorry TCB - just realized you are the OP :) - and just re read that you plan to change the hardware....are you doing this everywhere in the home? Will the ORB be on all door hardware throughout the home? I'd strongly suggest focusing on the tile (white with matching grout or subtlety darker grout like a bone white). Then do the hardware and select paint LAST. Thank you for the paint tone pictures with your floor - could you retake the shots with the paint samples propped vertically against the wall by the tile floor. Look at all samples as you will see them in real life because the light hits them different so anything vertical (like paint) should be evaluated vertically....See MoreNeed help hiding granite line on kitchen counter top.
Comments (25)it's not horrible. but I agree, the rough edge should have been done better to blend w/the other piece. I also think they could have done a better job matching up the pieces. 100% they should have informed you where they were going to cut and how the ends would look against one another. Most reputable fabricators will show the client and have them sign off before they cut, just for this reason. you have a lot going in there from what I can see. a very busy backsplash, red/brown cabinets and a blue/gray wall color? and bright white outlets. you can buy colored outlets/plates that would blend in w/the tile. or get the wood one and paint it yourself to match the tile color. when shown against everything else you have happening in that space, the seaming really isn't that noticeable....See Morerobinbohbot

PROBeth H. :
3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoyou've just about described my new kitchen (the island looks a little blue here, but it's a dark charcoal called Wrought Iron)
the island is Calacatta and the perimeter is Eternal Serena quartz (they also have a charcoal color option that almost looks like soapstone, but I thought it would be too dark for mine)
I'm not completely finished w/the tiling in my kitchen )slab of the Serena
Look up Silestone Eternal Charcoal and see if you like the darker.
btw, here's one of the porcelain slabs from my tile place that I was considering. looked so real.
