Hi Lynn. I would accentuate and show off the large island as a centerpiece of your design with a darker stone to contrast the light perimeter countertop that is rich in color and movement. For example, choices such as Altair, Amazon Tiger, or Brown Alpine could be very appropriate. Hope this helps!
We have dark stained cabinets with colonial cream perimeter in the kitchen. Looking for suggestions for another granite color for a large island that would go well with the cc. Thanks, Lynn
Hello! Are there any granite colors you've look at so far that have caught your attention by any chance? I'm trying to get a feel for what kind of granite's you're attracted to so I can give you accurate suggestions. Personally, for your design set-up, I'd use colors such as Netuno Bordeaux, Canela Bouquet, or New Colonial Cream. Let me know your thoughts on these! :-)
Hi..replacing formica counter. I have white cabinets and brushed stainless appliances with a light oak floor. I like the light earthy tones. Can you recommend a few? THanks!
For an all glass tile my recommendation is Mirabelle Collection smoky brown glass tile in a brick pattern. For a glass & stone mosaic, take a look at Piano York Glass & Stone. If you want to go even lighter for a sharp, clean, modern look, there is Subway & Ming Glass mosaics. I've attached photos for your reference.
Suggestions for backsplash with Millenium Cream granite over dark brown (almost black) cabinets with stainless steel. Prefer glass tile backsplash, perhaps with a bit of stone/quartz.
Attached are sample pictures
The Solarius is also a great choice, but it's very rich in movement and veining. As you've said, the Colonial's are a little softer and calmer in movement. So that is the decision you must make (if you want a busy or calmer look for the counters). In regard to color tone, they are all appropriate for your set-up.
Thank you--those are better colors. As an option, what do you think of Solarius? I really like that granite, but Colonial Gold might be a more conservative approach.
Hi There! You're on the right track, but I think a different variation of the Colonial family of stone would be more suitable to complement the fireplace colors. I have in mind the following: New Colonial Gold or New Colonial Dream. You can look them up in the search bar on the upper right hand side corner of the page.
I am replacing my counter tops in my small kitchen and am thinking about putting in Colonial Creme, thinking that a lighter color will help make it look larger. However, the bar area is adjacent to our large stone fireplace and I am concerned about choosing a granite color that compliments the stone in the fireplace, which includes golds, brown, reddish brown, tans. I have attached a picture and would appreciate your advise.
For the backsplash tile, my recommendations for you to consider are 1" x 2" sized Azteca Blank Pinwheel travertine, as well as Mazia Beige travertine with glass inserts. I've attached pictures for your reference. For the wall color, take a look at Benjamin Moore line Jicama. It's a rich and creamy shade to compliment your design nicely. Good luck!
