I feel that the Blue Bahia pictured on this page is too stark and contemporary for your design. My suggestions are colors such as Emerald Pearl and Silver Waves. Hope this helps!
Can you upload a photo of your tiles and accessories? It seems like you have a lot of blue going on so I would recommend doing something neutral on the countertop. You can do a clean, white countertop like the Nano Crystallized Glass or the complete opposite like an Absolute Black. A stone like Blue Eyes or Arctic Blue would also work well as the dominant color is neutral and consistent with a small hint of blue. If you keep the countertop neutral and easy-on the eyes, the space won’t feel overwhelming. Let me know what you think so far!
I am trying to update my bathroom. The cabinets are a golden brown. The floor tile is a royal blue. What color granite countertop would work best? Pictures and accessories are blue and gold.
I think the Blue Bahia would look stunning and elegant against a cherry colored wood cabinet! If it's within your budget then go for it, as this stone will surely make a statement and turn into the focal point of your kitchen design.
The cabinets are a cherry maple and we were thinking a medium grey porcelain floor.Idon't want to spend that much on a counter top ..I was quoted 3,000...although prices do vary.Would it look fab or not?
The Blue Bahia is a very expensive granite so the price you were given sounds correct. Some shipments can be even more expensive! I tried to find a photo of your cabinets online but I was unsuccessful. Would you be able to take a photo of your cabinets along with the flooring and upload them? We want to fully understand the setup you have before we give you any suggestions or pointers. You do not have to match the floors but we do recommend complimenting them to tie the space together.
I need help with my blue bahia ... I heard they can go as far as asking $500 a sqf ..is that even possible.I also have cerizo brown maple cabinets and I'am not sure I can match these two together and does the counters half to match the floors ?
The following colors, brown, ivory, beige, green and blue (earth and sky colors) will be set in a pinwheel pattern. The island cabinets will be a rich brown, the cabinets surrounding the kitchen will be a natural color.
The kitchen backsplash will be ivory with the mix mosaic.
Do you think this granite would work in our kitchen for the countertops?
