Your choices don't flow well to me. The flooring in your photo is pretty (very dark...are you okay with it showing every footprint, smudge, and dust bunny? If so, that's fine). From all of your options there I would do white cabinets with the Himalaya White granite. But you said ignore the granite. :) I would go for the gray cabinets with white quartz everywhere in that case, but personally I'd worry about gray cabinets being very dated in a few years. Is there another quartz option that you could pair with the white cabinets that is light in color and maybe has some movement, like LG Bianco Drift?

Manpreet, Congratulations on your new home! You can go with BWP ply with laminates. You are right in your choice of matt and glossy laminates for base and wall cabinets respectively. Without knowing your tastes, I am taking a chance to suggest you 14541 for base and 21187 MR+ from merino catalog. It looks good. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.

Granite is a material that requires very little attention when it comes to maintenance. However, with the Indian style of cooking, lighter shades of Granite often tends to show stains and go dull with time. What to avoid A neutral pH-balanced (i.e. non-acidic) cleaner is best for granite, and any natural cleaners with acids or with caustic nature like ammonia and bleach should be avoided. This includes vinegar, lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide, and citrus cleaners. Here's how you can clean granite countertops Wipe up liquids and spills of acidic ingredients promptly using a little to a soft cloth or a sponge and clear warm water. Some stains can also be lifted with a paste of baking soda and water. And to disinfect, pour one part water and one part 91% isopropyl alcohol into a spray bottle to spray and clean.
