COMMENTS:
The Azul Platino is an appropriate choice to go against cherry cabinetry. The contrast will be efficient. However, you could choose a stone that has some burgundy or wine colored flecks to pick-up as well as contrast the cabinets at the same time. I am thinking of choices such as Delicatus, River Valley, Snowflakes.
I just got my kraftmaid cabinets in natural cherry deveron, my husband picked the azul platino granite before getting the cabinets. Our floors will be oak clear stain, it is a kitchen/dining/living room area (kitchen is in the small size). We go for a minimal style, white walls, no decor, recess lighting. Should we stick to the azul granite or do you have other suggestions?
For a compliment to the Azul Platino, my recommendation is possibly a 2" x 4" Calacatta marble tile. Another option would be the Somer Tile Reflections subway & ming glass mosaic. Thirdly, for an interesting contemporary choice there is the Somer Tile Reflections chromium stainless steel subway tile. I've attached images of all three for your reference. Hope this helps!
