[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you describe your space? It makes a difference. My favorite countertop is black granite, honed. However that wouldn’t have worked as well in our space.

Our kitchen has low ceilings and a skylight and a large double island between the kitchen and large vaulted ceiling family. A dark color like black would have been too heavy for the island..which actually connects to a wall so it couldn’t be a different color. Black would have visually split the vertical space not giving more height illusion.

We went with a white quartz with a thin blue vein fr both counters and backsplash. I was shocked at how much bigger the kitchen looked afterwards. We also mounted our cabinets higher to give more space under them and chose a size that went to the ceiling. [/quote]

Color is magic, especially black!

We have a mountain house in the west with classic a-frame lines and lots of reflected light from the snow. The kitchen was white and pine, and felt like a vast expanse of space because there was no contrast, and it made it feel cold and unwelcoming.

We put in black honed granite counters and backsplashes and it grounded everything in place and made the room feel bigger and cozier at the same time. [/quote]
