Bellingham and Torquay both have a lot of movement in their patterns. I am using Bellingham in combination with White Hall (solid white) for a client in their kitchen. Ideally you would like one stand-out piece and in this combination I would be worried they (bellingham and torquay) would compete.

Thank you. That's very helpful. If I could pick your brain further...where would I place the Bellingham and the White Hall? Island is dark wood and cabinets dove white BM.
Thanks!

Typically you would want a contrast on your light cabinets. But because the island is the focal point I would recommend Bellingham on the island cabinets and White Hall on the White Dove cabinets.

Thanks again!

Doing solid white inset cabinets with A distresses light grey island. Thinking of Bellingham as counter tops. Should I do all in Bellingham (on white cabinets and grey island) or only the island in Bellingham and the white wall cabinets with a different counter top? Suggestions appreciated.

I am not a designer... they definately know better BUT I think the Bellingham would be too much everywhere. I have seen pictures and prefer a simpler countertop on the outer cabinets. Just my opinion as I have been obsessed with countertops for the last month!

What color countertop would compliment cambria Bellingham that will be atop gray distressed island with white inset cabinets along the perimeter. Curious on thoughts for counters for the white perimeter cabinets. Not sure if solid black is out thing. I teach science and I work on solid black lab counters daily. Input appreciated. We love the Bellingham!

I would install Bellingham on the main counter tops (on the white cabinets) and depending on the grey of your island one of the following whites: Newport, White Cliff, or Whitehall
I know you say black might not be an options, but the Cambrian black on the white perimetre cabinets would be very nice (like in the picture) and the Bellingham on the island.

Hi, I need some help in deciding if it's ok to put Bellingham on all countertop areas (kitchen shape somewhat similar to above pic --but on the right side, it continues and there's a door for a walk in pantry at corner, then curves to the right and have fridge for last wall area...U shaped with island placed as above). I was told if you use 2 diff counter colours, it breaks up the visual look and gets choppy. So I don't know what to do. Floor-dark laminite ..looks like above (Wenge).
... I want the island to be the focal point...so don't know if having Bellingham on all counter areas will not allow the island to stand out...or if having dark cabinets all around (top and bottom/island and perimeter) will make the room feel too dark and smaller. Hubby doesn't want white/light cabinets anywhere so don't know if having another counter choice for perimeter counters will look better or worse.

The cabinets are similar to this link below...(black stain on maple/shaker style).

Also, what backsplash would you suggest? Colour? And what colour for the paint?
Thanks for your help!

I am having my oak cabinets refaces and am using the Cambria Minera for the countertops (with a white RTF cabinet with pewter glaze) and the Bellingham for my bar height dining island with black RTF cabinets. Work will be done in January - and our plan is to paint the kitchen grey.

I'm trying to decide between Sileston Lyra and Cambria Praa Sands?
Thoughts on which one would look best with white cabinets?

Lyra and Praa Sands aren't as comparable as Lyra and Torquay. Praa Sands has a lot of green (sea foam/pastel) in it, where Lyra is more of a marble look-a-like. They will both work with white cabinets. I find that Cambria's Torquay has more realistic veining in the slab making it look more natural.

Hi. I'm doing my kitchen. It's small. I'm deciding on Bellingham for my counters. The cabinets are egg shell white. Thinking of a grey backsplash. Just not sure what kind. So confused. HELP

I know this is an old post but just found it when I was looking up doing Bellingham or Praa Sands quartz with Torquay- for perimeter countertops and/or center island. Have decided to go with white cabinets. Would LOVE to see pictures of any finished kitchens that used these combinations. So stressful making decisions – and need to decide within the next day or two of what I want to do for our kitchen.
