I would bring wood into the mix. Warmth is needed. Cherry or maple Island and white perimeter if that is what you are firm about. Maple in 1 or 2 shades up from the lightest maple would be classic and wear well. Cherry is rich and can be deeper colored ....is wonderful too.

Well things may be sufficiently warmed up with floors - IF they are wood. You really need to post more info - floor, inspiration pics?

My first thought was to keep all the cabinets white and let that counter be the star, it's dramatic and bold, no need for a gray island. But I also agree it would be good to bring some wood elements in, whether with some open shelving or a stained wood island. What is your flooring?

Flooring Coretec Calypso Oak. We will have a set of floating shelves to the left of fridge a little darker than floor and the dining table is antique large drop leaf maple table. Here is picture of floor and layout. Floor is a little warmer in person

I think if you love the look of a black island, go with it. The floors are at least light enough and white perimeter cabinets should be lightening things up as well.

Personally, I do prefer a mix of painted and stained, so I would opt for a dark wood island.

The countertops you are considering are gorgeous.

I don't think a grey island would work well with the stone. I'd keep all the cabinet white and let the stone be the star. But those floors aren't as warm as they could be, so the kitchen may feel cold.

Do the black island. You won't regret it.

IMO- black island with black counter has no contrast so it all looks like one piece.

what color are these cabinets?

IMO that will be a lot of black with the black appliances so I would keep all the cabinets white and I think the wood look floors are all the wood you need

Beautiful stone! Hope you’ll come back and share the final reveal!

For the layout: I would move your DW to the other side of the sink - as is, when it is open it blocks access to the sink from the fridge and access to the range

All white cabinets to let the stone shine.

Would love an update on the via lactea if you chose to use that!!

Our counters will go in the end of next week. We are doing the Via with all white cabinets and I added some wood stained shelves to warm it up I will post pictures once counters are in.

I did all white cabinets. I am so happy with my counters. Love how it turned out.

Stunning!

looks great! smart choice to keep all cabinets white IMHO
