Have superwhite kitchen cabinets in a traditional home. What color granite, backsplash and floor would compliment each other?

JR: I'm not sure what Magma Gold looks like, but it sounds like a good match.

We have natural cherry cabinets and a red oak floor. Has anyone seen magma gold granite used with natural cherry? The slabs seem to have a lot of rich brown / gold / red in them that would go with the warm tones of the wood, but we haven\'t done this before and are unsure.

My kitchen is small. I have glazed maple cabinets with creama bordeaux granite. I had a 4" granite backspash put in. After this granite was installed I loved it so much that I wanted to do a full backsplash but my installer said he can't take the 4" off without causing damage to my counter top. Question: Would a black or smoked mirror backsplash look good with my creama bordeaux? Any other suggestion? Thanks

Kristy: No, bianco romano is a fine choice, it has some black veining that will offset the stark white. Crema Bordeaux is a different direction, it's busy and depending on the batch can get quite dark. Kashmir White is rather bland but will tie-in nicely.

Name: Kristy

Date: 2010-01-25 12:20:18

Do you think Bianco Romano would be too much contrast and what about Kashmir White or Crema Bordeaux? Thank you o mch for your suggestions!

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2010-01-25 12:01:19

Kristy: Classic choices with long lasting appeal and excellent contrast would be New Venetian Gold or Santa Cecilia. As a bonus they have occasional burgundy speckling that will compliment the cherry well.

We have honey oak cabinets, beige tile floor (will eventually be changed to wood), and earth-tone colors (terra cotta, medium taupey green) in kitchen/great room. Can you recommend a granite for us? I don't want a dark color and don't like the "spotty" granites -- prefer one with more movement. Lots of natural light in kitchen as well. Thanks!!

Thank you for your answer--I forgot to mention the Persa Blue we have been looking at has no blue at all, mostly black (maybe very dark blue--but looks black), beige, gray and even some pink tones. Is this typical for persa blue. Thank you

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2009-11-02 12:05:07

Dana: Definitely Persa Blue over the Cosmic, you should tie-in the blue though with the wall color or backsplash.

Name: Dana

Date: 2009-11-01 08:25:38

Which do you think would be a better choice: we have white cabinets, medium stained (regency red) oak flooring, appliances same as cabinets, we are thinking black cosmic or persa blue. Also looking for any other suggestions, looking for a warm timeless look. Thank you

I'm really torn between the Giallo Matisse and the Crema bordeaux. We have about 110 sq ft in the kitchen. Will a bordeaux be too much red with the cherry cabinets? Would Giallo Matisse give us the warmth we are looking for? Thanks!

D: I answered most of your questions in your previous inqury: http://www.marble.com/countertops/galleries/full/kitchens/367.html Your sink does not have to be a specific size based on the square footage of the total kitchen, i have never heard of this before. Now to the granite - I think the Juparana Crema Bordeaux would look wonderful with your set-up. A very warm look overall. And with the edging, keep it simple, a quarter round edge or bevel would look nice. Usually people keep the same edge throughout their project, but putting something a little fancier like the ogee on the island is not a bad idea.

Name: D

Date: 2009-08-01 22:35:54

Forgot to ask -- what edging would you put on the granite? Does the fact that we have a lot of angled walls affect that? Should we put a different edge on the island? Thanks again!

Name: D

Date: 2009-08-01 22:25:15

I have white appliances, medium cherry cabinets with beveled interior section and shiny brass knobs on doors. How do you think Juparana Crema Bordeaux would go with this (We only have 50-60 sf of countertop)? The floor is wood (golden oak?) Would you suggest a white cast iron or ss sink? Isn't white easier to keep clean than ss? If white, what color faucet? If ss, what color faucet? The kitchen is L-shaped with an island. It opens into an eat-in dining area and then into a great room. The walls have a lot of angles. Is it best to get a rectangular sink or is a D-shape okay with its curved edges? The (double) cabinet under the sink is 48" across. There is a 33" x 22" sink in there right now. I read somewhere that if your kitchen is less than 150 sf, your sink shouldn't measure any more than 22" x 24". Is that true? Thanks so much!

Louise: Well, you have white cabinets and lots of open space, Caledonia would work albeit it might blend in too much with the cabinets but it would tie-in with the appliances nicely. I would say to also take a look at Ghazal Dark for something similar or Silver Waves for a very dramatic look. Good luck!

We are planning a modest kitchen remodel. Living/dining/kitchen area is an open floor plan, with walls painted in Benjamin Moore "Cedar Key". Appliances are black, cabinets are painted white. We were thinking of a Sensa granite - perhaps Caledonia? The house is not too large, and the countertop's the first thing you see when you walk in. Any recommendations? Thank you!

erica: Quite frankly, and please take no offense to what I'm going to say, I think you have already hit the "bold" phase. But as always, it's all subjective in the end, so my opinion is just that - one person's thoughts. I do like the idea of black+white floor. I think you have enough of colors in there already so keeping it simple is the way to go.

I have almond cabinets and maple floor. Any suggestions for the color of the counter top?

Blue Pearl would be a complimentary color to the cabinets, while matching the stainless steel appliances.

We ended up with Peacock with the medium maple and it looks great. Thanks for the help!

Paula: Bordeaux will usually have a bit of both orange and pink. Why not try something completly different?

Would Bordeaux look good with a medium stained maple that has a lot of orange in it, stainless appliances & pale tan ceramic floor tile? Or is the coloring of the Bordeaux more pinky than orangy? Any other granite ideas? Having trouble finding something that goes with this medium wood shade. Thanks.

What is the best way to determine what would look good with maple cabinets and white appliances?

I saw a slab that was called Juparana Forence that the sales person said was the same as Juparana Bourdox. So maybe it is the same that Lauren heard, the Juparana Florenza Red? This is one of my narrowed down choices.

Yes. This is Bordeaux.

could this be the same or very similar to Junapana Bordeaux?

This Bordeaux is just the regular version.

what type of bordeaux is this?

That is not a typical combination. Because the cabinets and the countertops would be very similar, you would loose the contrast between them, and that doesn't look well.

We didn't hear that name yet... But who knows! See, different fabricators will call the same stone different names to make it seem "unique" to their inventory. We go by the original names.

could this also be called Juparana Florenza Red?

Crema Bordeaux is more smooth in it's pattern, and has less of the spots.
