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.

which countertop should I choose?

8 years ago

HI, I have narrowed my quart down to this dark brown and lighter one, my cabinet Color is more on the off white, backsplash has not been decided (we will finalize it after kitchen and counter are up)









Thanks!

    I renovated our beach condo Kitchen. Love the brown countertops and contrast with white cabinets and white 4”x12” subway tiles. What ever sits on top the countertops is the color you lend. The floor is tan. The brown countertop is not a solid as it has some black in it as well. Granite is in “Baha Brown.”
    The second photo shows white cabinets, (almost) solid brown quartz countertops. Back splash is tan. The island is black with a granite countertop in mixed colors that complement all my colors.
    Let the countertops “shine” as they make a big statement in a room. Backsplash complements the tops.
    Good luck, it’s a maddening thing to make expensive decisions. Go with the one you are drawn to and make it happen. Both will work ... just don’t have too many patterns going on and remember the items that will eventually go back on the countertops. Good luck!
