Lacanche lovers- need color advice!

Hi All,

We have decided to splurge on a Lacanche Sully as part of our kitchen renovation and are struggling to decide between Ardoise and Faience. We will likely have white/sea pearl Quartzite counters, paneled appliances, and white/pale gray walls. Does anyone have a similar kitchen? Does the Sully in Ardoise look heavy and huge? Help! Cannot decide.


Thank you!

    Thank you, Judy, but I don't want white. Love both the greys so trying desperately to decide light or dark. :)

    Have you seen the finishes in person? With your countertop and backsplash samples?

    Bonjour Emily Nichols Grossi !! Congratulations and welcome to the Lacanche family. Either colour is going to offer a very different feel in the Kitchen. While Ardoise is so beautiful, it is quite new to the US Market, so there aren't too many photos yet on hand. If you'd like to see a few install photos of the Faience, however, please let me know at Blair@frenchranges.com and I'll be happy to send them on. The beauty of porcelain enamel is that it will truly take on its own personality and undertone, given its accompanying trim, surroundings, lighting, painting, etc. All in all offering to a truly custom look. Don't overthink it too much - what you can close your eyes and imagine in 10 years still being in love with, this is the color. Happy cooking and chat soon !! Blair | Lacanche US

    Despite the love of the gray issue, it's too much like stainless you could have for $$ less. If you're going to have a thing..... HAVE it: ) was my point. It's a very "good" heavy lol.

    Can you post a pic of your la canche... ?

    I'm in the color decision dilemma too :)

    Hi holly! Can you see the pic right above your note? It’s that one! I’m having trouble reposting. Hmm. It’s the charcoal gray (ardoise) with mixed trim! :)

    Congratulations on your choice, Emily--it looks beautiful! What color are your cabinets?

  • 8 years ago

    Thanks, Diana. Our cabinets and trim are Decorator's White. Backsplash is a honed carrara herringbone (1x2) and counters are Silestone Eternal Statuario with the sueded finish. Thinking either BM Coventry Gray or BM Chimichurri for walls.

    Sounds beautiful, Emily! With all that lovely gray neutral background, I'd suggest that you add some color in your accessories--curtains, rugs, pottery, artwork, vases, plants, lamps, etc.

    Oh yes! I have a fabulous fabric for a roman shade above the window over the sink (which is a huge, three-panel window) and some marvelous artwork and lighting fixtures. I'm not at all a kitchen minimalist so there is always fresh fruit and flowers everywhere. :) Thank you!

    Hi Emily,

    Thanks so much for the response. I was hoping to see a photo of the actual range in your space. These ranges seem to take on their own personality in each space depending on cabinet color, floors etc. :)

    Ah, gotcha!! Cabinets are going in now so lacanche will probably be in next week. I’ll share a pic pronto!

    Rarely do I see owners pics of their kitchen remodels that I love, but this I love! Beautiful kitchen.

    Emily, the range looks amazing! How are you liking it so far? Do you have any advice for someone trying to design theirs right now? Thank you!

    Hi Sarah, We love our range!! The Lacanche folks offer excellent advice re: burner layout and BTU load. I am glad we did what they suggested. Definitely use your French plate for all low-heat needs like rice, sauces, and such.
