Kitchen remodel on a budget

10 years ago
Trying to do a kitchen remodel on a budget. We have white appliances and are going to paint our cabinets white also. Going to go with a LVT flooring that is called dawn oak it's a dark wood color. Should a I go with a light color Quartz countertop or darker countertop to tie in the floors. Not sure if a light countertop with white cabinets and appliances would be too too much white. Here are the countertops I'm thinking about.

    #1 and #3 are way too busy in my opinion ... stick with something simple with less "movement" have you looked at quartz products?

    I suggest choosing a counter top that has color in it or your kitchen is going to look too clinical. A solid gray or black would look great with all of that white but if you want me to choose one that you have pictured, I would use #3.

    I like number 3 it will give some color and it won't look too sterile . You could tie it all in with some grey colored walls picking up some of the grey in the counter top

    If you style is more modern and your kitchen is on a smaller side , use # 4 . # 3 is beautiful and will work great for more traditional/country/cottage look.

    I like #3 too.

    #2 or #3. The first one is just too much "movement", the 4th is boring.

    Darker is OK if the room is bright. That quartzite comes in such great colors. A bright blue would make your white appliances and cabinets look great

    I like the last 3 :) Quartz also comes in "pre-fab" which is much less expensive (material and labor) to install than the brand names- Cambria, Ceasarstone, Silestone. Good luck! :)

    I like 3 or 4.

    I like #3 or #4. is #4 called Blanco river (silestone)? if so, it's beautiful (but not.cheap!) and- I don't think you can have too much white from your description. Good luck.

    #3 TRUST ME! It will look beautiful

    I just had quartz installed that looks very close to number 3. It is pictured in my "my pics" idea book - last picture. Note - The backsplash is not in in yet.

    It of course depends on the over all aesthetic you are going for, but I like the idea of #3 or #4. Both options would keep things light and fresh looking. If you choose the white counter top, there are many other ways to bring in color and interest, it will be timeless as well. Good luck!

    Number 3. It will allows your countertop to be the star as you have white cabinets and appliances.

    I vote for either 3 or 2.
    Not sure 1 looks right with the floor (assuming those are samples in the picture?)
    And just not a fan of 4. Besides being too much white, the pattern looks old fashioned to me.

    Definitely 3 or 4, but I like 4 the best! Clean and simple and bring in color with other things

    I'm going outside the box. If the flooring shown is what you're going to use, it has gray tones. Quartz isn't cheap. We have Cambria & absolutely love it. My wife was commenting on it last night, as she often does. If your budget allows for quartz, consider stretching a bit more & using soapstone. With your white cabs & appliances & gray tones in flooring, I think it'll look fantastic. We couldn't use it b/c our cabs are dark & K faces north, so is inherently dark. Hence, we went w/ lighter countertops in quartz.

    #3 is the best of those options. #1 may work but is busier.
