Kitchen counter help

10 years ago

I am making myself (and my husband!!) crazy trying to decide on kitchen counters. We are doing white cabinets on the perimeter, and dark cherry wood island. The floor tile will be a medium grey, with a white beveled subway tile backsplash. The perimeter counters will be Caesarstone Pebble Grey 4030. I would say our style is Transitional. Here is a picture of the cabinet doors, the beveled subway tile, the Pebble Grey, and the floor tile. Also on this page is a sample of Berwyn and Lagoon (which we have ruled out). We are going with the handles at the bottom of the picture.

I am torn between a couple of quartz options for the island. I love
Cambria Brittanicca for it's large dramatic movement, but then I love
the marble feel I get from Cambria Torquay, Caesarstone Frosty Carrina
and Silestone Lyra.

Here are my samples: Large one on the left is Brittanicca, top middle is
Frosty Carrina, top right is Silestone Lyra, middle grey is Pebble
Grey, Torquay to the right of Pebble Grey, and at the bottom is Organic
white (used to judge whiteness).

Looking for advice, and also, if anyone has used any of those counters in their home, are you happy? Photos? Thanks everyone!!

I love the Brittanicca with your selections. It's simple but dramatic movement will blend well and pull the look together.

we went with absolute black honed granite on our island; we had enough going on with the floor and quartz perimeters to not want to add another pattern on the island.

Honestly go with your gut: but my vote would be for either Brittanicca or Lyra.

Hello! We are so pleased to hear that you are considering Cambria for your home. Personally, we don't think you can go wrong with either Torquay or Brittanicca. Brittanicca has a very bold movement for a fashion-forward and on-trend look, yet Torquay is totally timeless. To help you decide, we recommend taking a look at a full slab rendering of Brittanicca on our website here. You can also view ourKitchen Inspiration Gallery for more images of both designs used in premier kitchens. We hope this helps with your design considerations.

What did you decide? I'm in the same boat with countertops. Looking at Brittanicca island and Dunmore as perimeter. I like the pebble a lot, but trying not to change everything in the house to gray.

Hi Joviboys, I am pretty sure that we will have Brittanicca on the island, and the Pebble on the counters. My main dilemma was the island, as I love the Brittanicca, but also patterns like Lyra, Torquay, Minuet, Rococo....

Your colour combo sounds lovely!! Good luck. :o)
