Kitchen counters

Should you try to coordinate the kitchen countertops with the flooring?

    The kitchen countertop should be the most important piece in the room. You should find one that you fall in love with and the floor is just back drop.

    These are two completely different kitchens that we did. Both used very exciting and beautiful stone. Although both have very nice wood floors the countertop is the star.

      I wouldn't try to match it too much. Since you'll never get exact, you don't want it to look like a mistake. I would go with the dark grain.

      "Compliment" might be a more appropriate word for it.

      Thanks for the response. I am liking the darker one too. Next question would be the backsplash. If I use the darker countertop, should I go with a plain light tile of some type.

      I would go with the smaller dark one in the middle for the counter tops... Then consider keeping your backsplash fairly plain ... Perhaps translucent glass tiles in a wheat shade...there would be sparkle on black splash - the counter would be the focus- but the back splash would still compliment it in a classy way!

      Kirk Nelson....I Love your countertops. Is the second one a granite and what is it called? Do you know the country of origin? I'm a geologist and really love that counter! I just remodeled a house and this is a pic of my countertops. I agree they should be one of the more important design elements in the kitchen.

      Hey there.. I think they should coordinate..yet not match. Break the rules!

      I have a few blog posts that may help you out.

      They're laminate swatches I think? I feel they all have too much pattern to pair well with your floors. I would look for some a little less bold/busy. Maybe something like this or even the Formica marble.

      First time for me using the advice section! Love all the comments, but a little confused. I also feel like my choices might be a little busy for the floors, but I like the darker sample too.
      The samples are all wilsonart laminate. I have laminate now and after shopping for countertop materials, I think I'll go for it again. At this stage in my life, I would love an updated kitchen but I also want to travel with my hubby, so spending money on trips wins out over expensive countertop materials. That's also why we are keeping our oak cabinets, and I still like them.

      on the "Contemporary sleek and sexy LA beach house" i would install a 3 way custom sound-bar instead of 3 speakers in 3 different locations.

      Keith- the stone is called Black Agata. It is Quartzite and the country of Origin is Brazil.
