This kitchen has similar colors to what ours will have.

Either the indigo of the island is the feature, or the busy countertop on the island is the feature item. NOT BOTH.

What a statement. I dont know what your room size or layout will be but i am a girl who gets the vision in my head and cant let go. If you love it and you can make it work, go for it.

Is the indigo already ordered or are you painting it on site? There’s a beautiful brown in there that would take an unfinished oak or other wood base. That might be incredible with the white cabinets and white? perimeter countertops

That's a gorgeous slab. But it's going to fight with your blue island. If you want it, I'd change my island to natural walnut.

I don't see indigo working with the stone at all. It's a beautiful stone, and a white island would be a perfect contrast to it.

I think it's gorgeous. Agree with the others that indigo would fight it - would suggest white or gray. Are you planning to sell this house in the next 5-10 years? I would keep in mind that a 'safe' option may be better for resale, not that it matters in the current market! I would also measure out the portion of it you would actually need for your island (assuming it's not the whole slab) and make sure you like what exact parts are included in that. But it is gorgeous!!!

Also make sure your backsplash won't fight it.

Do you have sample boards of the cabinet paint colors? Can you show us pics of them together?

At first thought they do not seem like an obvious match. But I think you should search online for higher end magazine pics. Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, and the like. They tend to have mich more daring combos than anything you will find on Houzz.

Some statement islands:

I love the slab. Not sure about the blue cabinets. Maybe make dummy 12 in. squares to test.

Maybe this will help you visualize.

Thank you so much everyone! The cabinets have already been ordered.. I do worry about how it would look with the blue. We have not purchased the backsplash yet so yes if I went with this I would stay very neutral. We are also still waiting for quotes so maybe the price will change my mind! lol. I can post a pic of our cabinet colors in a bit.

If you love that slab -and it’s obvious why - then rethink the blue paint in the island. The stone will be the “star” of the room and everything else has to be quiet. As was suggested, a light wood island or a soft painted grayish green would work, but not indigo. Can you halt the blue color on the order? Check there is enough of your new stone for your project. I can see why you can’t get that out of your head. It’s stunning!

No we can’t change the order. They didn’t offer any light wood anyways. I also really like the blue so don’t want to change that. I felt like the stone might look good with the blue but have been feeling very unsure since I can’t find much inspiration. Here were some other slabs we liked and our layout. The island is narrow.

Jeannie May- that second picture- is that a blue island? That looks good! Is there a finished picture?

If you want the island to have a different countertop, maybe you can shop with a sample of that color. It will be easier to assess the “match” when you have the indigo blue right there.

I love the slab, but I think your island is too small to support this much drama and you'd need a big expanse of counter for a slab like this. Not a professional, and just my opinion.

If it's any help I am doing an all black island with an all black granite top.  It's gorgeous

Linda that sounds pretty!!!

Good point Rachel. Redryder I do have a small sample of blue now. I will definitely look at them together in person before I purchase. I am planning on using the same countertop throughout the kitchen

Yes Amanda its beautiful. My surround cabs are white oak slab fronts. Very modern and dramatic with the wow factor. Over 20yrs old and still new, My kitchen is not big either and the island measures approx 27" x 60". People seeing my kitchen are awed because its not the run of the mill white on white. It all works. Get the samples and look at them together and you will know. Dont mind others opinion or taste. Finding a spectacular piece is worth working around it to make it yours.

Linda if you have a picture to share I would love to see! Yeah I agree that I want to listen to others opinions because I am definitely no expert- but I also want to do something that is a little different and I want to stick with what I love

Looking at individual items in isolation, although you love, can potentially create a non-cohesive look. There are lots of ways to create interest and personality and consider the big picture/overall feel you are going for. Accessories, lighting, hardware and tile all contribute big time vs a strong counter that could take over, especially if not quite right.

If you are wanting a stronger statement, I’d use a stunning, soft blue on the island and to calm the space, use a simple complementary counter in rest of kitchen. The island will then be the star.

Lol. Even the experts aren't experts. I will take a picture after the pendants are installed.

You are looking at the entire slab. What are dimensions of the slab? What are dimensions of the island?

How much of the slab will be cut away? The island looks narrow. And long. Will a seam be needed?

It is an incredible chunk of rock. Looking at the whole thing. So much of the beauty & drama will be lost when it gets whittled away to fit.

And I agree that this stone should have a starring role without the noise of cabinets in two colors. For sure not seeing it with indigo.

This is NOT my kitchen but imagine this is your pattern quartzite with your base.

You could try Cambria's Brittanicca or Portrush to compliment your Indigo Island. It could be helpful to google kitchens with navy and white cabinets for more inspiration. Both have the white background and large veining which you originally thought you would want and either would look good on your straight runs of counters. I agree with at least 6 other posters above that the slab you like will fight with your cabinet color and would recommend working with the choices you've already made and paid for.

The island is about 9 feet long so it won’t need a seam…. 30 inches wide so yes wouldn’t be able to feature all of that on island. Hmm so many are not thinking it would work 😔 I think I might have to listen to you guys! I don’t want to do something I would regret.

wow, so cool looking! I'd go for it, personally. But also be thinking with the fact that you'll be looking at it from the side and up close. Unless you're hanging from the ceiling, you won't see it like this again :). I've found in my countertops that it calms down the busy look a bit and you don't notice all the contrast as much. If you're still not ready to make the jump, maybe look at using it somewhere else on a smaller space? Either way, if you get it, make sure you point out your "favorite area" to your fabricator so that it's actually in the countertop and you're not getting the corner that you didn't really like as much. Good luck, and keep us updated.

I was afraid of that. That is a big format stone and I can't see anyway, anywhere that taking a 30" wide section (from the top, bottom or middle) is going to do justice to the slab. A waste, really because it belongs on one of those continent sized islands.
