Basement pub table option
I’m not going to focus on backsplash final options until the counters are actually in place so you can select the perfect tile. I’m just saving things as they cross my path…
Workstation sink in Taj Mahal Counter
Leathered black perimeter - please compare this to the image with a solid light quartz perimeter
Approved hood concept (but in a stained dark wood finish) ALSO please note this image mixes a solid light quartz perimeter with a patterned island top (not Taj Mahal in this image but hopefully you get the idea). Compare this to the image with the leathered black perimeter
This is kind of similar in feel to your layout and finishes and shows the Taj Mahal island
Blue for butlers pantry
Copper faucet
Example of nice lighting (but I would recommend shades that give an overall glow and not solid that only direct light down)
Hood and Light
I like the valance of finishes and the gold hardware on the dark cabinets might be worth considering for the butlers pantry
For sconce placement
not quite your exact finishes but kind of the feel
Hood option
Basement bar - full slab backsplash with floating shelf above
Basement bar - slab backsplash topped with a floating shelf
Butler pantry sink
If John can do the appliance garage like this- (might be nice to not have the center divider)
Appliance garages under cabinets between refrigerator and freezer could be detailed like this or roll up kind)
Hood detail (minus the extra wings in the back)
Think about faucets
In this situation I would have done a black finish on the pendants since the island is white…the black perimeter top seems off here without any other balance of black by the island
I think the chunky profile of the counters here looks heavy
