Granite The Hardest Decision Of All
We are in the process of remodeling our kitchen. All has gone well until we got down to the granite. It has to be the hardest of all. Let me tell you a bit of what we have done. The walls are Terracotta with honey spice cabinets and stainless appl. We first looked at doing butterfly granite but it has to much gray, now we are looking a Jup Crema Bordeaux Granite. Please give input to help us out.
Thank you,
Ginger
Hello Ginger,
Certainly the Butterfly Green would not work so great job recognizing that it is too cold for terracotta walls. Crema Bordeaux Granite is beautiful but I believe that you will find it to be too busy and too dark to breakup the walls and the spice cabinets. I love this granite but I really don’t like this choice fro your arrangement. Here is the situation you are in and perhaps the reason why you are having trouble making a decision.
The Terracotta wall color wants to formalizing your kitchen. Mix that in with dark warm colored granite and you now create the cozy ‘bar’ atmosphere, which is not the best for an everyday kitchen feeling. The spice colored cabinets are the right choice but now you just need the perfect granite color that is warm but not so dark and formal.
You need a deep semi-opalescent dark gold with a little variety of black and silver and even clear quartz bundles. Perfect colors would be Juparana Persa, Delicattus Dark, or Juparana Natalia Dark.
Remember! Bright yellows don’t work but deep golds do, so look for colors like this and you will find the perfect granite that pulls it all together. It will brighten the room but still draw in the simple formality to compliment the terracotta. You can see some swatches on www.GraniteStock.com.
