Granite Countertop design question!

13 years ago

My kitchen's center island has a dark green granite countertop. The rest of the kitchen countertops (around sink, stove, etc) have light green wood (formica?) countertops. I want to replace the formica with granite, but highly doubt I'll find the same piece of granite as the island anywhere. So, should I attempt to find a close match? Or should I got with a completely different color, like cream? Maybe even butcher block, but I doubt that's very durable and I'd have to paint my honey cabinets white...

Thanks for any input/advise :)

Definitely don't try to match it. Go with something complementary and let the island be the star!

You won't be able to match it, so don't even try...it will just look like you tried to and will look off. I think a cream or something in a very subte gold tone to go with the honey cabs could work.

Go with something different, and if your island cabinets match all the other cabinets in the kitchen you might want to consider changing the finish on the island cabinets so it appears more like a special furniture piece.

I"m not so sure. If it's Uba Tuba, you might very well find close enough.
What granites do you think could complement yours?
Would it be worth it to just redo all the counters as that really would be your best option.
