Kitchen countertop choices

8 years ago

I'm looking for advice on which way to go with my kitchen countertops and would appreciate input from this wonderful community. I'm using white cabinets with a barely there warm undertone, stainless steel appliances, satin nickel hardware, aged iron Darlana pendants over the peninsula, and would like to use honed negresco granite on the island for a soapstone look. I have medium tone hardwood floors that will not be changing. I'm looking for advice on what quartz to use for the perimeter countertop which includes a large peninsula (~7' x 4').


I really like the movement in Cambria Ironsbridge quartz and would like something that marries warm and cool undertones to keep the kitchen from feeling cold as the room faces north and doesn't get direct sunlight. The other option would be to do a gray and white marble looking quartz like LG Viatera Karis, but I'm not sure if that would make the room look too cold. After looking at so many countertop options it's hard to tell what coordinates now and I would really appreciate some input.


We are widening the opening to the dinning room and the kitchen is completely open to the family room to the left of the peninsula. Both rooms have warm and cool tones in them. I'm open to other suggestions as well. Thanks!
