My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hello experts, kitchen planning advice requested

8 years ago
Please suggest colors for counter top, perimeter and backsplash. I have chosen white cabinets, stainless steel sink. Flooring is grey ceramic tile.
I am considering black granite countertop, as shown in the picture. I like white marble counter top but I think it won’t work well with white walls and white cabinets. TIA

    I think I would do a vinyl plank wood look floor. there are grayish shades of wood-look....in between the solid gray of a ceramic and yet still working with counter. Backsplash-ceramic white or off white, matte finish, maybe beveled edges to soften the look. For an interesting, warmer twist, try the newer champagne finish hardware on the cabinets[a warmer look]. Good Luck..what style is the cabinet door?
