Hi, regarding to your references about your bathroom I'm more leaning towards Bianco Romano. It is an elengant and interesting stone with beautiful movements. Also the exclusive greyish veins will match to your cabinets and floor. The best way to choose the exact stone is to go to one of our facility, see the whole slab, take the sample to home and comapre with your staff. Good luck !
Hello,
We are trying to decide on granite color for our bathroom. We have espresso cabinets and light gray floor tile. Finalists thus far are Delicatus, Bianco Romano, (and possibly Luna Pearl or New Caledonia which are selections from the builder's standards). What do you think will go best?
My recommendations for you are Merola Cobble Polar Ceramic Subway tile or perhaps a Stratford Place 2" x 2" Ceramic Blend for a little more color. I've attached photos of my suggestions for your easy reference. Best of luck!
I love the look of ceramic subway tiles. The granite is so busy that I want to keep the backsplash simple. I have looked at several colors from Mercury Mosaics and Heath Ceramics but have not found exactly the right shade or color combination yet. I'm thinking darker than the cabinets (which are KraftMaid "canvas") but light enough not to compete with the granite.
Hi there. Is there any particular design direction you'd like to go in for the backsplash? For example, are you leaning toward a mosaic of perhaps stone and glass or a true tumbled natural stone tile? Or maybe a sleek and modern glass tile? Let me know your thoughts!
I have beautiful delicatus granite countertop with creamy white cabinets and dark walnut bamboo floors. Any suggestions for backslash?
Yes, Mina! I think that's an excellent & elegant combination. Instead of the Bianco Antico, you could perhaps also use White Spring or Delicatus. Just some food for thought. However, the cherry cabinetry will look rich against your countertop selections. Best of luck!
i need suggestion about countertop color. i want to install granite in bianco antico color in the rest of kitchen countertop and the island in Maroon cohiba.would the two look good together. we have cherry colored cabinets and wooden floor.
Excellent! This should be a unique and stunning combination! However you are correct in being worried that some aspects could clash because you have two different cabinet AND countertop colors now which is not the easiest feat to achieve. The design must have continuity with a flowing, concise set-up that is not too busy. However, I think you're on the right track. The Tropical is a consistent stone with a tight pattern and it's dark base contrasts the creme perimeter cabinets. The island top would be made out of the beautiful Delicatus with it's rich movement to make it the focal point of the kitchen. It's light base will contrast the dark, black island cabinet. It seems to be all put together nicely and the combinations play off each other for an elegant atmosphere. Go for it!
I currently have Tropic Brown granite counter tops with cream colored cabinets and thinking about changing the island to Delicatus. The color of the island is a painted distressed black finish. Will the pattern in Delicatus clash with the pattern of Tropic Brown? I am scared it might look too busy.
You're absolutely right in your description of the two. However, you absolutely MUST see the full slabs in-person before making a final decision as only then you are able to truly visualize both options and find out which one you are attracted to more. At this point the decision is up to you as either one (Cecilia or Napoleone) is a warm, classic, and ever-so-popular choice for your kitchen set-up. They are both quite similar in color tone and pattern so when you see them you can pick one of the two. Good luck!
Thank you! Would you recommend one over the other? They seem very similar to me with perhaps the Cecilia having more gray and the Napoli more gold. Any thoughts?
The Santa Cecilia Classic and Giallo Napoli or Napoleone are timeless choices with warm hues and highlights that would complement your design nicely while bringing an efficient contrast to offset the mahogany wood. Go for it!
I'm really confused about a granite to use in this bathroom. I am concerned about the cabinet color with the Delicatus and would rather not spend quite that much. I was told that Santa Cecelia Classic or Napoli granite would look nice with both the tile and cabinet color. My cabinets are stained a Red Mahogany but I see more brown in them than red. I am anxious to make my decision and get this done. Any advice you could give would be appreciated...I don't want to make a poor choice.
Derek - I appreciate your reply and assistance. I am also looking at Saint Cecelia Classic. Hope the pic helps....
Can you snap a photo of the bathroom in it's current state and upload it on here for me to review? I would be able to give you more accurate suggestions and thoughts.
I am installing granite countertops in our master bathroom. I am considering Delicatus Brown. I have floor tile in a beige with gray veins, same tile in shower with gray/black/cream glass mosaic accents, mahogany cabinets and SW Believable Buff on walls. The shower tile was recently done and I feel it's a little busy. My current countertops are Silestone Ivory Coast and have absolutely no black or gray in them which clashes. I am hoping that adding granite will help the new shower tile flow with the rest of the bathroom. Help please!! :)
They're similar in color tone and pattern but not exactly the same stone. I think a very dark cabinet would be very elegant against a lighter granite such as Delicatus or Alaska White and provide a sharp contrast.
Is Delicatus White and Alaska White the same thing? What works best with Alaska White, dark or white cabinets? I have a tudor style home-built in 1973, small and dark kitchen. I like the wood, I am debating whether or not to paint?!*^ What is a good backsplash with white cabinetry and dark cabinetry with Alaska White.
Depending on the travertine you choose, it may have some red/orange tones. I would recommend a tumbled marble for your backsplash instead as its warm and timeless choice that works with many different designs. To spice it up a bit, you can use decorative borders and accent tiles. For flooring, I would recommend Int Azteca Bruno or Luminor Bianco Mosaic depending on the shipment of the Biano Antico you chose. It’s best to bring samples home and compare them to ensure you are happy with the way everything looks together. Let me know what you think!
hi there we purchased cappachino cabinets & just ordered bianco antico granite i am having a hard time with floor tile and backsplash any suggestions on what color i should go with or type if tile like travertine
Well, we recommend the Cotton Wood mosaic for granite choices such as Delicatus or White Spring regularly here, so you're absolutely on the right track! I do not think the design will be too cold -- rather these elements will create an elegant, contemporary white kitchen feel.
I'm just starting to plan a kitchen remodel. I'm thinking of a taupe quartz on the perimeter with off white cabinets. I would like to do a granite island with darker cabinets. I was thinking of white spring or dilicatus with antonia bliss cottonwood linear mosaic tile backsplash. The kitchen opens to a living room with a limestone fireplace. Are these colors too cold?
I think the Delicatus granite would compliment mocha colored cabinets very nicely. Also take a look at Bianco Antico. In regard to floor tile, a beige with grey such as Navona Giallo travertine tile is appropriate. For the backsplash, a soft and neutral choice such as Crema Marfil tumbled marble or Baja Cream tumbled travertine could work well with the design. I've attached photos for your reference.
I'm redoing my kitchen and I picked out Mocha Glaze cabinents by JPD Kitchen's would this look good with Delicatus granite? What color porclin floor do you suggest (beige/with grey, just beige/brown)? As well as a back splash? My kicthen is "L" shaped with a window over the sink, but doesn't get a ton of natural light. Black or stainess steel appliances?
Absolutely! Fabulous combination and I think the Revere Pewter would compliment the Delicatus granite quite nicely.
We recently painted our cabinets a warm gray color (Benjamin Moore - Revere Pewter). We have been looking at the Delicatus granite for our countertops. Do you think that this would work with our cabinet color?
I am considering delicatus for the countetops with off-white tumbled travertine backsplashes. What do you think?
We are in love with the bianco antico and planning on dark expresso cabinets
Can 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!!!!
I like Astoria and Canela Bouquet for Haley’s setup. I feel the colors of the stone and cabinet would play off of each other wonderfully. They’re soft, easy on the eyes and elegant for the space.
