Hey there,

We're currently in the middle of kitchen renos and are stuck with trying to figure out how to add contrast to our loosely decided colour scheme. As of now, the only thing that's been decided and payed for are our cabinets. They're going to be a flat panel contemporary look, painted arctic white with 4 coats of clear gloss. So far when looking at countertops, we've narrowed it down to two looks: a marble look quartz such as Silestone's "Eternal Calactta Gold" and a light grey quartz such as LG Viatera's "Aura". The issue with both is that through researching and seeing other people's kitchens with these combinations, it's very clear that their kitchens feel too light and airy, and lack a balanced feel. Options We've been looking at: going a dark grey on the floors, doing something darker in the backsplash, adding black fixtures such as the island lighting and bar stools
Sidenote: If it weren't for the issues I have discovered through research with Super White Quartzite, we would be settled on that for the counters as I think it looks gorgeous and the greyer slabs add that contrast we're looking for. (pictured below) As of now, everything except for the cabinets are subject to change. Any advice is appreciated
Thanks
