I had the same thought - soapstone!

Soapstone would be perfect.

Titatium granite, leathered. Just gorgeous and near bullet proof.

in truth almost anything would look good. light /medium /dark.....whatever you think the space would benefit from...... I'd be sure and get quality. I might stick w granite or soapstone as mentionned. Probably not do formica and hesitate before I'd pick corian...but maybe if there was a corian I really like with this... Might be nice to insert some butcher block if it fits somewhere logically in your layout.

Soapstone would be nice, but so would marble. Green granite could work, or retro laminate. What is your budget and what do you like?

I had the titanium granite, not leathered, in a previous home with dark cabinets. We chose it because it reminded us of the sky. It was so delicious. I agree it could be a good option for you.

There are several granites that would work with your kitchen. The main question is do you want quiet and subtle, or something dramatic? Soapstone or a similar coloring in a granite would be perfect. Your cabinets are so neutral you can pick anything you fall in love with at a stone yard. Bring a door with you when you go shopping.

I think we can guess but I need more info as to your actual style in the rest of the house too. I love titanium but it is a statement is that what you like? BTW IMO polished granite is as close to bullet proof as you can get .

Steel gray granite leathered

What is your budget? Natural stone or granite is pricey, but I choose polished granite. Visit your local stone yard and look for a granite which has some of that golden tan color along with a little black, blackberry, white and gray inclusions. I would not select a dark counter because I prefer my kitchen to be bright.

I have cabinets of a very similar tone. I have both soapstone (the real deal) and Carrara. they both work fine but provide very different feels. I like both materials. In fact, we are doing a kitchen at a different home, and these are my two materials of choice.

Soapstone or a leathered absolute black

My first thought was something black (e.g. granite, soapstone), but really you do have a range of choices. Depends on the overall look you're going for.

Right now we have a peacock green granite countertop…it looks fine but a little dated IMO (not really my style). It also has the 4 inch edging instead of a back splash. I’d like to brighten the kitchen up a little as there is very little natural light. I was thinking a cream granite with some browns maybe? As for my style I’d say i like a French country style home. Something light, bright, feminine and cozy.

I don’t really have a budget in mind. I’m ok with spending money for quality countertops.

Creamy granite would be nice. I like your cabinets.

I think the consensus is any color will work …but there are lots more features than color that matter…either do some research on your own to establish what will serve you best or get a kitchen pro to help locally….since the cost is affected by where it is offered for sale and how much expertise is involved in installation a local advisor will save you money as well

Shout out for large format porcelain tile - you can get pretty much any look you want without the drawbacks that many materials have (soapstone gouges, slate chips, granite stains unless you put in regular maintenance, quartz melts, etc). Large format with a rectified edge means no grout lines, just a couple seams like you'd get for granite, and best of all, it's (a) cheap and (b) easy to get a single tile to test out different colors in your space. When I was redoing mine, I at one point had 5 different samples covering my counters - it looked pretty funny, but I got to see each style in different lighting throughout the day, and compare them directly with my cabinets. I wound up going with an onyx style, but there are plenty of travertine, granite, slate, quartz, etc options.

We have somewhat similar cabinets and wanted to lighten things up for our renovation. I went with Hanstone Montauk quartz. It has subtle warm veining. It's held up beautifully over the last year. I think the quality of the quartz has a lot to do with it.

Pretty, Amy!

very hard to give names of granits, since stoneyards differ from place to place.

best advice: bring a cabinet door and go the stone yards, when u see it, you will know it!!

Amy, what color paint is on your walls? It looks great with your countertop and cabinets.

We just left the countertop store. I think we’re going to go with Astoria granite. It’s lighter than the green peacock that we have now and goes well with the warm cabinets.

@wynterwynd it's Revere Pewter. I actually have always planned to go lighter to blend in more with the subway tile though!
