    Calacatta Rusta is VERY stark white with white shaker cabinets will make your builder grade floor tile look dirty and cold. Why the Champagne Bronze? Because you like pink?

    I don't see it.

    With what you have, I'd go with something in the silver family. It will blend /coordinate /fit in well. A warm bronze will stand out /look odd in this mixture.


    Another thing: I wouldn't use those small pulls. I have something rather similar (on my uppers only), and they "spin". Yeah, they have that tiny little pin that's supposed to dig into the wood and prevent this, but it doesn't work. Drives me nuts.

    Champagne bronze is not pink

    Sorry just read that you are doing new counters….It’s really important for you to look at the quartz sample in your kitchen with your floors. Then, when once that marriage of materials works pull in the hardware. Kinda cart before the horse at this point. Also, you may want to consider a bone white for your cabinets and not a bright white. Best to let us know what your painted trim is throughout as that will be needed to coordinate the cabinet face color.

    Quartz Calacatta Rusta for the countertop and backsplash will work beautifully with white Shaker-style cabinets. It will give the kitchen a clean, soft, and timeless look.


    For the hardware, you can mix metals, but I would lean toward black handles instead of champagne bronze. Black will add a nice contrast and definition against the white cabinets and quartz, while still keeping the overall look simple and balanced. Since the appliances will remain stainless steel, black hardware would also coordinate more easily without introducing too many different metal finishes.

    Thsnk you fir a thoughtful polite redponse so appreviated

    antique bronze will go lovely as it will complement the countertop and add warmth to the cabinetry. Imo silver hardware competes with the countertop and is too cold looking

    Hopefully you’ll be encasing the fridge for a cleaner, more up to date look.

    I don’t see white fake marble quartz with those floors…or, the trendy (champagne) bronze pulls.

    Please re think the counter top selection, since you can not change the flooring.

    Quartz behind the cooker, is an invitation to SCORCH. There are entire thread on the topic, and yes we know people do it all the time.....: )



    Not to annoy you further: ) what's the goal? Your selections WITH the flooring that must remain means that the floor then becomes the dictator, and a few of us are essentially saying that.

    If you are going to the expense of refacing, changing tops?

    Why not consider a softer white for the cabinets, or even a color for the cabinets. ?



    A quick look at your look book tells us what you want, but you are about to jam a square peg into a round hole..

    " Looking for a softer look............"

    You will get anything BUT that softer look, and hardware at this point is the least of the worry, despite it is( just ) what you asked.

    Jmo........: )

    As a general rule I don't care to mix metals in a single room. Having the same throughout gives a more cohesive look.

  • last month

    Imo the floor does not jive with your color choice of countertop n cabinetry. both appear as cool colors whereby the floor looks to be a warm color

    I have no idea why people choose to mix metals in a space where there is metal big time with appliances . When you tell us a counter not in the pics show. I think stainless sink and stainless knobbs or pulls and easypeasey. BTW the new counter will not work well with the flooring .
