need help with my kitchen countertop

11 years ago

I am redoing my kitchen and will do the kitchen area counter top with a white carrara quartz, all the lower cabinets will be in teak wood and one wall will be a high gloss white pantry, I would like to do the sitting area countertop in back quartz but my family wants to keep it white carrara , What is your opinion, btw, all the floors are white marble

Hi Sandra,

I say stick to your idea, the design posted is lovely and black is a very nice colour especially if you use a different material for a different texture like concrete, slate or glass. In your case I would not use white all over, the floors are white the walls are white if the counter top was also all white it would blend in too much.

Black is a colour that a lot of people shy away from, as I used to but I am now a convert after I used black wallpaper on a feature wall.

I think the black counter top is too extreme. How about a lighter brown quartz or butcher block top to contrast the lower counter cabinets? Would look nice. Some ideas below.

but the lower cabinets are teak as well, it would be too much wood and would clash

Are the cabinets truly teak, or teak-like in type or color?

If you want the seating area to be the focal point, then make it a contrasting color, like this Walnut. Choosing a kitchen focal point? Here is a great
