Marble.com - Kinga 03:05PM, Feb 7 2012 Check out Astoria, Atlantis C and Colonial Gold. I feel each of these stones would look wonderful with your setup. I would recommend the antique white cabinets for the Rainforest Brown marble in your bath to showcase this stunning stone. Let me know what you think!
Dpara1010 01:55AM, Feb 5 2012 im putting in dark espresso cabinets, and a white beveled arabesque tile bacsplash do you think Bianco Antico would be too busy? I have a big island...9x4
Dpara1010 01:51AM, Feb 5 2012 would this be considered single silver, single blue or double blue
Spencer 03:42AM, Feb 3 2012 I am currently in the process of building a home. I have chosen espresso for my lower kitchen cabinets and glazed antique white for my upper cabinets. I was leaning toward Biano Antico for my granite but now I'm thinking it might be too gray. I really want something with creams and tans and browns and that has a lot of movement. Suggestions?

Question 2: I would like Rainforest Brown marble in my master bath. Should I go with espresso or antique white cabinets?

Thanks in advance!
Marble.com - Derek 09:06PM, Jan 27 2012 Do you have a picture of the backsplash tile you're thinking about using?
Jodi 06:36PM, Jan 26 2012 Hi I am going with a dark sable color shaker style maple cabinetry and we are trying to go for a sleek modern look. We want to do a glass mosaic stone combo backsplash and can't seem to find a granite that is neutral enough and works. any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Marble.com - Kinga 03:53PM, Jan 26 2012 Also check out Anatolia Bliss Norwegian Ice Linear Mosaic. Good luck!
Marble.com - Kinga 01:58PM, Jan 26 2012 Derek’s New Colonial Dream suggestion would be a wonderful addition to your space. Another beautiful option is the Colonial Cream. Good luck!
Marble.com - Derek 09:04PM, Jan 25 2012 Sorry for the late response. Have you chosen a backsplash tile yet? I recommend a soft and elegant choice such as Somer Tile Reflections Subway Ming Glass mosaic. I've attached an image for your reference.
Marble.com - Derek 09:02PM, Jan 25 2012 It would be nice if you could have some golden or brown undertones in the granite to pick-up the natural wood in your design. How about a granite such as Canela Bouquet, or New Colonial Dream?
DV 05:04PM, Jan 22 2012 hi, would you recommend Lennon granite with maple color cabinets, stainless appliances, and hardwood floors?
N Walker 06:27PM, Jan 3 2012 Hi, we are nearing the end of a kitchen renovation - we have linen white cabinets, a French pattern travertine floor in noche, stainless steel appliances, and the walls (really only one wall) is painted BM Guilford Green. We chose the Bianco Antico granite and it was installed in November. We absolutely love it and think everything has come together so nice - the only thing we are hung up on is picking a backsplash. We feel the granite is gorgeous and we don't want to detract from it - but would like a nice complimentary backsplash - do you have any suggestions? We've looked at some of the glass & stone combination tiles - which are pretty, but I'm just scared they will be too busy when all put together. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Marble.com - Derek 09:50PM, Dec 21 2011 Another recommendation that I feel would look lovely in your design is Sonoma TileMakers Vihara Karuna Silk tiles. I've attached an image for your references.
Marble.com - Kinga 01:07PM, Dec 20 2011 Bianco Antico is a fine choice for a countertop. As far as your backsplash, since both of you like two completely different materials, you may want to consider a mixed mosaic tile like Anatolia Bliss Cotton Wood Linear Mosaic. Let me know what you think!
Liz 09:59PM, Dec 19 2011 Thank you, I am going to use the Bianco Antico. Do you have any suggestions for the backsplash??
Marble.com - Derek 07:10PM, Nov 23 2011 I'm leaning toward the Bianco Antico granite and stones that are similar in this color tone and pattern, such as Delicatus and our beautiful New Arrivals: http://www.marble.com/blog/two... These choices offset and contrast your dark cherry cabinetry very nicely and complete the contemporary feel of your kitchen. Let me know what you think!
Liz 04:40AM, Nov 20 2011 Hello, we have cherry cabinets stained dark cherry. Our floor is light brown porcelain (travertine looking). We have stainless steel appliances. We have not settled on backsplash yet. My husband likes travertine, I would like glass (not white). For the countertops we like the most Bianco Antico, but we also like Bahia brown, blue pearl, blue saphire, delicatus, azul quati, madura gold and gallo ornamental. Which one do you think is going to look better with our cabinets and floor? Pls help us
Heffern8 01:19AM, Nov 20 2011 How would this bianco antico look with cinnabar stain cabinets? or would the bianco romano be the better choice. I live in a log cabin, interior is all log - walls, ceiling, lower cabinets, a mellow light brown. I will put cinnabar upper cabinets in this small kitchen area and need a countertop island choice.
Snowcountry 04:40AM, Oct 15 2011 Hi, We are in love with the bianco antico and planning on dark expresso cabinetsCan you suggest if the finish on these cabinets should be matte or the grain lines should show?? Someone suggested that the grain lines would look too busy on the granite...Ps. can you suggest any backsplash that has the off-white undertone as the granite with splashes of dark expresso color in between??? Would glass go or subway tiles??? Our concern is that we don't want to mask the beauty of the granite in anyway...but complemnet it with our choices of backsplash and cabinets.....CONFUSED....HELP!!!!
Marble.com - Derek 01:52PM, Sep 16 2011 Those are some beautiful choices. I recommend Ivory Brown to offset your cabinet color and create an elegant contrast. The warm veins in the granite would balance out the design nicely.
kristie 01:08AM, Sep 15 2011 I will be using maple cabinets with mocha color and like the Bianco Antico, Ivory Brown, and New Colonial Dream colors. Which do you recommend? Or would something else be better?
Marble.com - Derek 06:17PM, Sep 8 2011 Sounds like a plan, let me know how everything goes!
Karen Angelbeck 02:04PM, Sep 8 2011 Thanks Derek. We are meeting with our builder this week and will talk to them about all of this.
Marble.com - Derek 05:17PM, Sep 1 2011 Paint the cabinets a dark espresso color. Bianco Antico looks stunning against a dark colored cabinet (even black cabinets) as it creates a rich and elegant contrast, as we know opposites attract. The floors should be a simple and light (maybe off white) subway porcelain tile.
Sdgrantha 11:50PM, Aug 30 2011 I am in need of help here! I loved the BA for my bathroom and have it in. I have two undermount white sinks installed too with white tub and toilet. I also have some prettypolished nickel faucets for the warmth.....I have paint grade cabinets though and have no idea what to paint them. I am so lost on the floors and cabinet paint! Any suggestion would be awesome!
Marble.com - Derek 01:03PM, Aug 29 2011 I'm leaning toward Bianco Antico as we just received a new shipment recently and the new slabs look beautiful. They would compliment your design nicely, take a look: http://www.marble.com/blog/bia...
Marble.com - Kinga 09:24PM, Aug 23 2011 I’m leaning towards the Bianco Antico. It’s a classic and timeless choice that you will enjoy for many years. It’s a luxurious granite with a beautiful features that is highly desired so my vote is the Bianco Antico! The Delicatus White does have many peachy tones in it and it may be difficult to find one with a minimal amount of that color. It’s always best to see the slab in person and bring samples home to compare in the space to get the best feel of the stone. Let me know what you think!
Karen Angelbeck 02:40AM, Aug 20 2011 Thanks so much for the input. I don't care for the red flecks, so that's good to know. I also wondered about Delicatus White if I got a slab without too much peach in it - one that is more black, white, gray and maybe taupe. Would that work or do you think Antico or White Spring are still the way to go?
Marble.com - Kinga 09:23PM, Aug 19 2011 I have to say I really like the Bianco Antico and White Spring for your setup because both stones have a warm feel to them that will tie the other spaces as well as your cabinets together. The Bianco Romano does have burgundy flecks in it so if you’re not a fan, you may want to go for the other options. The Bianco Antico is the most popular of the three. With each stone, you will get a clean, airy look that will compliment your design quite well.http://www.marble.com/material-compar...
Karen Angelbeck 12:45PM, Aug 19 2011 We are putting in Arctic White Brookhaven cabinets on the perimeter and a distressed black island with rubbed edges. The floors will be a medium walnut color. Our dining table is the farmhouse look of a natural but distressed pine. We have not selected a backsplash yet. We definitely want to have light counters. Could you compare and give your opinion of Bianco Antico, Bianco Romano and White Springs granite for this arrangement or any other suggestions? Thanks, Karen
Marble.com - Kinga 05:04PM, Jul 12 2011 I love Derek’s suggestion. The tile would look lovely with your setup!
Marble.com - Derek 02:13PM, Jul 12 2011 Sorry Barbara, I did not tie-in your previous two posts, that it was you in both of them. Everything makes sense now! For the floor, I'm actually leaning toward tile, beause the cabinet is so rich, that a tile such as Daltile Gold Rush 12 x 12 Goldust would fit perfectly. I've attached an image. Something similar would also be fine.
Barbara Ogarra 03:55PM, Jul 11 2011 Yes, it's the color of the cabinet (Cabinets to Go). I have purchased Bianco Antico for the countertop and Absolute Black for the peninsula. I have also purchased white pendant lights, a very pale glass tile (looks like a pale yellow or beige) to combine with a ceramic tile (cocoa color). I have not purchased the floor as yet--thinking about wood or porcelain tiles.

Marble.com - Derek 03:28PM, Jul 11 2011 Need more information please. What is Palm Beach Dark Chocolate, is that the cabinet color? Have you thought about countertop options?
Barbara Ogarra 08:20PM, Jul 8 2011 Palm Beach Dark Chocolate. I am torn, not sure if to use wood floors or tiles.
Marble.com - Derek 04:34PM, Jul 8 2011 What color are the cabinets?
Barbara Ogarra 10:23PM, Jul 5 2011 What do you think about Bianco Antico countertop with Labrador Antique on the Peninsula with a stainless steel backsplash. What color, then for the walls?

Barbara
Marble.com - Kinga 12:09PM, Jul 5 2011 Lisa,
The Bianco Antico is a very popular and highly sought after stone. It would look lovely with oak cabinets but I’m not so sure about red walls. The slight burgundy flecks found in the stone tend to look more mocha or almost chocolate brown instead of a red. Red paint is intense and it will take away from the beauty of the stone. If you want to use this classic granite, consider changing your wall color to something softer like Benjamin Moore’s warm “Harmony” or cool “Whirlpool”. Let me know what you think!
Lisa A. 05:39PM, Jul 2 2011 I am considering bianco antico with medium oak cabinets and existing red walls. Do you think this is appealing? If not,any suggestions?

Thanks,
Lisa
Marble.com - Kinga 07:30PM, Jun 30 2011 I think you should keep the pendant lights white, especially if your appliances are stainless steel. I agree with Derek’s suggestion to use the same granite as a full backsplash. Otherwise, you should use something light and easy on the eyes like a tumbled marble to offset the busy pattern of the stone. For wall color, check out Benjamin Moore’s “Sebring White”.
Marble.com - Derek 04:55PM, Jun 30 2011 Have you thought about using Bianco Antico as full backsplash material, that is sure to make a bold statement and bring the kitchen to life. As for tile options, a mix of tumbled marble and glass mosaic would look very rich. For the wall color, take a look at Benjamin Moore "Revere Pewter". What color are your appliances?
Barbara Ogarra 05:28PM, Jun 29 2011 I am in love with Bianco Antico as a countertop. I have chosen Palm Beach Dark Chocolate for the cabinets, tigerwood for flooring, and absolute black granite for the peninsula. I would like some color for the backsplash, what would be the best option? What color should I use for the walls? Should I go with white or stainless steel pendant lights?

Thanks,

Barbara O.
Cheryl 05:12PM, May 8 2011 I am looking at Bianco Antico. We are putting in cherry cabinets (medium color) and a Brazilian wood floor. What would you suggest for the backsplash. The walls will be sort of a tan color. Thank you.
- All Granite and Marble 09:20AM, May 9 2011 Cheryl: My suggestions are either a white carrara subway tile or a slate tile backsplash.
elaine 06:33PM, May 4 2011 when i looked at samples, i thought no, but it does look nice in kitchen samples,. I would like some other suggestions if possbile. I do love hurricane , but i am afraid it will be too dark. I definitely do not want gray tones. going for warmth. thank you!!
- All Granite and Marble 10:40AM, May 5 2011 Elaine: Try Astoria, Amba Gold, Colonial Cream, Solarius.
elaine 12:25PM, Apr 29 2011 hello moderator, we are using cherry cabinets stained espresso. i like granite with veins and movement., no speckles. i would like to go with something "warm". no grays but will do some black. thinking of using soft yellow walls and perhaps soft green ceiling but that is not definite. we have not settled on backspash. flororing will be either mediuim brown family or limestone/travertine, haven't decided. any help would be much appreciated
- All Granite and Marble 01:08PM, May 4 2011 Elaine: Take a look at Ibere Crema Bordeaux. What do you think about this granite? Is it a step in the direction you like?
barb 01:28AM, Apr 10 2011 Hi, our new kitchen will have dark walnut floors, antique white cabinets around perimeter, espresso island ...and bianco antico. Suggestions for backsplash??
- All Granite and Marble 10:01AM, Apr 11 2011 Barb: A slate tile backsplash would pick up the darker tones in the granite and offset the lighter aspects of the design.
Lamia 11:45AM, Mar 10 2011 Do you think bianco antico granite (counter top) will go with the chocolate birch kitchen cabinets more than the shivakashy. if yes what do you recommend for backslash, floor tiles, and paint colous for the wall if I will go with the Bianco Antico granite for counter top in the kitchen. Thanks in advance
- All Granite and Marble 08:52AM, Mar 11 2011 Lamia: I'm leaning towards Bianco Antico with Benjamin Moore "Barely Beige" wall color and a white subway tile. For flooring, I recommend Noce travertine tile.
Lori Hensley 01:54PM, Jan 24 2011 I love the Bianco Antico - and wanted it for my kitchen. The installer told me that it was a marble and would stain and/or crack easy. Do you find this to be true? IF so, do you have another suggestion? I love the flow or movement of Bianco Antico. My cabinets are off white and the island is dark blue. I thought about New Candonia - but it seems so busy.
- All Granite and Marble 03:08PM, Jan 24 2011 Lori Hensley: Bianco Antico is NOT a marble. To keep the stone stain resistant you must reseal it every year, then you should be fine. This granite will compliment your cabinet colors nicely, go for it!
kakki 06:17PM, Dec 10 2010 I have Maple natural cabinets. they are twelve years old and have a honey maple look with age. I love Bianco Antico and am wondering how it would look with Tiger wood flooring. I also have a large kitchen so want to do a different granite on the island. What would be the granite to use with Bianco Antico on the counters ?
- All Granite and Marble 11:31AM, Dec 13 2010 Kakki: The Bianco Antico will compliment the tiger wood flooring nicely and the color extremes (dark vs. light) is an appropriate choice. As for a color on the island, you should go with a darker color, perhaps Cosmic Black.
Carolyn 01:56PM, Nov 12 2010 I have a large open kitchen w/medium oak cabinets and same color hardwood floors. I love Bianco Antico. How do you think this would look with either full backsplash or 4x4 Travertine tiles in a light taupe/gray color?
- All Granite and Marble 02:01PM, Nov 15 2010 Carolyn: I'd go with the 4x4 travertine tile. That would be a gorgeous combination to compliment the Bianco Antico.
Alison Camon 12:21PM, Oct 3 2010 I have White cabinets and appliances, maple flooring and denim blue walls. I am adding a built in chopping block (maple) on one of my coutertops..will this make all of that "pop" ?
- All Granite and Marble 09:37AM, Oct 4 2010 Alison Camon: It's an excellent choice! Another option is Bianco Romano, or Delicatus.
tommy beckner 06:52PM, Apr 21 2010 hello, i was wanting a price on this per sq foot. thanks
- All Granite and Marble 08:32AM, Apr 22 2010 tommy beckner: For pricing please contact the sales office.
Margie 09:34AM, Mar 18 2010 Or any suggestions to go with the white vanity without getting into actual colors, like green, pink, blues,etc>
Margie 09:32AM, Mar 18 2010 I have a white vanity, white sink and white tile floor, but walls will be painted to compliment granite, would this work?
- All Granite and Marble 12:06PM, Mar 18 2010 Margie: Bianco Antico is an excellent choice! It has some darker veining for contrast but compliments the light tones in your bathroom at the same time.
Terri 11:23AM, Mar 2 2010 Am I able to put a link or photo?
- All Granite and Marble 05:00PM, Mar 2 2010 Terri: Unfortunately links and photos are disabled. You can send us a photos in the "Contact Us" section.
Terri 11:19AM, Mar 2 2010 How would this look with dark cabinets (with red tint) and white appliances? If not, other suggestions?
- All Granite and Marble 04:59PM, Mar 2 2010 Terri: It would look beautiful. Very rich and good contrast.
Lori 08:21PM, Jul 13 2009 Would this granite work for cream colored cabinets with light mocha glaze, light colored tile floors, ss appliances and a dark greenish/brown walls? I want the kitchen to "pop" and I'm looking for that perfect granite. I'm also looking at tropical brown.
- All Granite and Marble 09:54AM, Jul 14 2009 Lori: I would go with Bianco Antico, the black mica in this stone will contrast the light cabinetry and floors.
