We are in the middle of renovating of our Kitchen. We have an overlay style cherry cabinets in nutmeg stain. It’s fairly a large kitchen with medium amount natural light. We are leaning towards Imperial white granite floor with Emerald pearl counter. We have steel appliances. Just not sure if we should go with black galaxy counter or stay with emerald pearl? Any suggestions for back splash? Please let me if you need additional information.

Thanks,
Nima

Hello Nima,

I sometimes like Black Galaxy when cabinets are darker and the room is formal, but I would go with Emerald Pearl. Emerald Pearl with the nutmeg stain is a perfect combination that will bring subtle color into your kitchen, while still staying as dark as possible with the countertops. I believe the Emerald Pearl offers longer lasting enjoyment as well because of its interesting opalescent inclusions that change under different lighting.

Black Galaxy is also hard to keep looking clean because it shows a lot of dust. If you ever resell your home, many people hate Black Galaxy because of its Vegas Casino ‘bling bling’ appearance.

My very best regards and I would love to get a photo when you are done!
