Kitchen renovation suggestions counter/backsplash

10 years ago

I'm totally renovating my lake house kitchen. Going for something in the farmhouse/lake house/rustic feel. I have white (fairly bright white) beadboard cabinets, praline FP Bois wood floor and I'm trying to decide on the sink/counter/backsplash. I already have (but could return) a hammered copper farmhouse sink (Sinkology Adams) that I would like to use but could return. The patina of the copper sink will not bother me (I like it). But if I stay with copper sink, the question is what material to use for the counter and backsplash. My thought was granite, quartz or marble counter with a subway tile backsplash. The colors are vexing me a little and would love feedback and suggestions. Cost is somewhat of a consideration, north of $80 a square foot is probably not an option.

This is a beautiful look where white and copper were used and everything pulled together well.

Not a fan of the sink, maybe a pure white one would work better.

I don't think the antiqued sink & white cabinets work well together. Switching to a textured nickel sink or white farm sink would do the trick. Your going to need to shop around for tops in your area & price range. You can probably get granite or Quartz but marble may be a stretch.

White would be better. And makes it easier to choose countertop.

nice find brickwood. I guess if you have the right "other things" then it works.

Not a fan of the sink - I would switch it to a ceramic farmsink instead that way you could go the subway tiles which would look really nice! Marble is not ideal for kitchens - chips and stains really easily.. If you are looking for subway tiles quartz is a better compliment colour wise.. Just add in some more wood/rustic pieces like the wood hood or island of the photo posted above ^^^

I think you could really make this sink work for you. I've attached a link to a design blog, not mine, but they have an amazing copper & blue color pallet. You could keep the white cabinets along the wall and paint the island or go separate colors for upper & lower. Remember, darker colors are going to recede & make the contrasting hues to pop. I would also use natural textures. Exposed beams, natural textures or maybe butcher block counter top section. Pops of blue glass on rough, unfinished wood shelves using copper pipes as support. Just suggestions.
