I don't think they clash at all, they all look lovely together!

I think it will be just fine, your floors aren't too busy

The island is doubling as my dining room table, so it will be 72x46. I saw a small piece and liked it a lot but the bigger piece may be overwhelming. Not too much? I've made a couple of mistakes with this kitchen reno already, I'm just not sure. Then what would backsplash be??

I like that funiture
And the house that have a mondern house

That looks very close to the Berkeley. I'm getting cold feet, is it too much movement with the floor?

No it doesn't have to be Cambria. Any granite suggestions welcome also. Thanks.

Your choices are fine together. You've chosen tone on tone. Not a problem. I like a bit more contrast between the elements. So long as the floors are darker than what is being shown, then the floors will be your contrast. Your cabs + counter will then be tone-on-tone.

The movement in the stone will actually blend in to form a single "look". To see this, you want to stand 10 feet back from the counter top. This will offer the way the counter will "read". The colours themselves will be fine.

Cancork, thank you. What contrast would you choose?

i don't mind them together. have you see large slabs of your choice? in person? Or at least in pictures here on Houzz? I just don't want you to be surprised. the tones are perfect. perhaps if you think it's too much, maybe go w/a solid color just on the island?

here it is in a far busier kitchen that what you have. maybe these will help

the last pic is gorgeous and prob closest to your cabs. I like how they paired it w/the travertine splash.

Beth these are helpful. Thank you. Yes I've seen a full slab, and I loved it.

Beth, I got cold feet when I brought a 12x12 piece home!!. It is overwhelming for me to only see a half finished project. I am not thrilled with my kitchen reno after much planning. (It wasn't enough I guess. I may be ripping half of it out new thread to come.)

really? what do you think you missed? If you love the countertop, (and it looks really nice in the above pic) I think it goes perfectly w/what you have. you can bring in some contrast w/backsplash tile if you choose, or other items. I don't know what the kitchen looks like so can't advise you well!

If you're NOT thrilled now, you might want to post a picture. A 12 inch sample and a single cabinet, does not a kitchen make.

Personally I LOATHE these overdone splashes with busy granites. ( second pic above makes my eyes bleed) The last pic? Filled with light and air, and a peaceful environment in a very busily functioning room. Decide WHAT you want to star in the kitchen. And how you want it to feel every morning.

yes Jan, exactly. I wanted to show her that pic so she could see what a 'busy' countertop/cabinet/splash/flooring combo really looked like.

You won't be disappointed with the Cambria product for sure! I've got Berwyn in my kitchen and 3 years in, wouldn't change a thing! It has a gold vein in it, but is much lighter than the one you chose. Maybe have a look at that sample? We paired it with a matte finished textured whitish subway tile. Also still,loving that. The texture of it is gorgeous, very subtle.

I picked those tiles in taupe!!!

Personally I like a stronger colour on the counter top. To me it is all wishy-washy taupe on taupe on taupe. Or I like a strong floor with white on white. Or I like a dark floor + light cabs + dark counter!

I try to avoid matching the wall colours of the DMV ("Banger Sisters"). Taupe+taupe+taupe doesn't hold my interest for long. It is merely an updated version of the 'brown blahs' we see being ripped out at a record setting pace! Good luck. Try to add some STRONG colour (kinda like a good shot of espresso to start your day!).

Just to throw out how I solved the same problem - leathered uba tuba. I never would have thought of it, but it was suggested granite shop. It isn't finished yet, and it is a small condo, I love the way it looks with the white cabinets and stainless.

I think Jan has the right direction - a less densely patterned countertop will work better. I think the sample you have just looks muddy and makes the floor look the same.

So less densely patterned and darker color, is that what you all are saying?

You don't want mud! Try as I said above.i

It need NOT be dark. You need to drag home some solid darks..... ! But first decide the feel you want I the entire kitchen on a whole. Nothing lives in isolation :)

Jan, the working kitchen is a U shape. This is one side of it. The sink side has to be redone, as I have a symmetry issue that has to be fixed. I have an island that will double as my dining room table. No eat in kitchen. Thanks for your input. As soon as this rain lets up I'll take a cabinet door to the granite yard. Maybe something will pop. I like light and airy, my home is small.

Being that you fancy light and airy, why not consider a more white based countertop? Especially in the U-shaped kitchen where it is more closed in and your eye sees lots of counter surface at once. Not a bad thing to shop around for...love your flooring though! You've got good bones to work with. :)

Look at quartzite. I used a honed sea pearl but there are others that I think you will like better than granite.

The overall look appears to be taupe. I think you will be happier down the road with something you love up front. The granite is beautiful but you will be locked in to a color scheme that has limited options of wall color and decor. I agree with others that a quartzite would look nice. If you are set on granite I might suggest one with some gold or yellow in it or warmer colors to afford greater flexibility in future decor. Love each element individually. Go with what speaks to you. Good luck.

Thanks for the input. I appreciate all the comments.
The Cambria Berkeley was my first choice. It is quartz. I like the colors there. Many here don't care for it in my kitchen bc its tone on tone. I get that. I'm just not sure what my final "look" or vision is here yet. I do know that I like a romantic theme. I'm hoping to get some of that in pretty lighting and kitchen knobs
In here.
As for the counter, My husband likes the antico Labrador which is granite and darker. It's the last picture. Cambria Berkeley quartz is the first. I'm indecisive!!

What did you end up doing?

I am wondering what you did as well...I have a very busy floor that had to be "settled on" due to water damage and nothing was avaialble during COVID in 2020. Now I have this floor, that is very veiny LVT, but I want the Berwyn countertop, but they are both incredibly busy.

I went w the Berkeley, it flows perfectly. The colors are calm and soothing and its easy to find complementing items. We made a 54 x 48 island with overhang on both sides; we are able to get 10 stools around the table.

Gene Mistretta, send a pic of your floor please
