Need help picking out a countertop

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

Really struggling to pick out a counter top. My perimeter cabinets are pewter green the island a medium tone wood. I‘m planning on using brass hardware and an off white zelliage tile for backsplash. I have matte white appliances. The quartz on the left is daltile freedom calcatta and the one on the right is LG soprano quartz and they’re my top two options. What one would look better? (sorry for the horrible pic)

    Don’t bring the backsplash tile into this decision. The backsplash tile should not be chosen until cabinets, counters, and floor are in. Everything looks different once installed and all together. You will be quite likely to make a mistake if you choose the backsplash tile before then. Remove the backsplash from your choices, and you wil be able to pick the correct counter.

    I am afraid to tell you which Quartz sample I like better because you said ”The quartz on the left is daltile freedom calcatta and the one on the right is LG soprano quartz”. But on my screen, your first and second photos look like the 2 Quartz samples have changed places right and left. If they have not, then my screen view is too unreliable to choose which Quartz goes better with your cabinet color.

    Agreed exactly with the above.
    The combination of finishes you chose thus far are GREAT!!
    I trust you fully.
    Remove the backsplash and pick one you like.
    And when the kitchen is complete you will deal with the splash! Good luck!!

    Oh you’re right they did switch in the second pic the soprano is on the left! Okay, thank you that totally makes sense about the backsplash!

    I agree you should wait on the backsplash. Be careful about picking Quartz counters from small samples. Your sample of LG Soprano does not look like LG Soprano I have seen. We’ve had stories on this forum about buying counters based on a sample, only to have a different-looking counter delivered and installed. This happens because either the sample was misnamed at the design center, or the sample was old, and the manufacturer revised the counter pattern in the ensuing years.

    These are pics of LG Soprano Quartz:

    Have you considered LG Lumina? It has a white background with light warm gray veins and some warmer tones.

    Interesting, I was thinking that my sample maybe looked different from some pics I’ve seen of soprano! I‘ll have to see if I can find a slab. Thank you!

    Mojave, yes I have a sample of that one and really liked it also! It’s just a brighter white then what i was thinking, but im still considering it.
