Sorry...I have no advice. But I love Portrush! It is gorgeous in person. We considered it, but we had just completed our master bath reno and did blue in there. What color are your perimeter cabinets? Most pros suggest one color for the counters if you have two cabinet colors. Also, check out posts on here about quartz as a backsplash behind a range. Some have ended up with scorch marks on their quartz. Just be sure to read and reread the specs of your range/cooktop. Oh and be sure you approve the template for the layout of your counters prior to them being cut. If your fabricator doesn't do this, then find another fabricator. Good luck with your project!

Nothing with a pattern will work. Lok at Hadley, and match your blue island to it.

Lynn Lou, thank you so very much. Very helpful!! The perimeter cabinets will be white

The Cambria web site suggests complementary quartz. In your case, it recommends Malvern, Mayfair or Hadley.

Thanks BPMBA!

Hi @Cj, thank you for choosing Cambria for your home! When looking for design help, feel free to refer to our website, where you can find Cambria Design Match tools. We suggest looking at #MyCambria Malvern, Mayfair, or Hadley for complementary Cambria designs to Portrush. For inspiration images, visit our inspiration gallery: http://bit.ly/3ISsicq

I'd go for a solid white counter for the perimeter. Make sure it works with both the Portrush and your white paint for the cabinets.

Hi Lynn Lou, I’m tempted to go all the way with Portrush but am nervous. Will post pictures once complete!

Thanks cambria, malvern seems like a really good option too. I haven’t seen a two tone kitchen with two different counter tops which I think is the challenge. Our island will be navy and other cabinets will be white

Thank you Sabrina Alfin, I did think about white as well. Dilemma there was the expense and not getting more of a statement design but it could be the safe way to go. Thank you!

Your choice is too stunning to only use in your island. What about using this on the perimeter and something plain on the island? That design is a knockout. I don’t think it will be too much. A plain white backsplash tile will look great with it.

Your other choice has to be very “quiet” - probably no pattern at all.

We used it on both the island and the perimeter. That helped to tie the blue and white cabinets together. We then used white handmade look subway tile for the backsplash. Looks great

Thanks Red ryder! I agree that the other choice has to be quiet. I am avoiding tile to limit the cleaning efforts by using the slab on BS instead.

That sounds perfect flatcalm. Just did not want tile for our kitchen.
