Hi Rosie,

My name is Brian and i work for MKW Surfaces, we supply stone worktops for trade and residential clients.

Although i am not a kitchen designer, we work alongside hundreds of Architects and Designers and the trend with the look of your kitchen tends to be in plain white or cream for worktops.

If you are interested in more assistance, please feel free to drop me an email to MKW Surfaces

and i will be able to help further.

Kind regards,

Brian at MKW Surfaces

A photo would help, but from your description I think an off white would go well and brighten up the scheme.

I sanded then primed but on a base coat then went to hobby lobby and bought 5 different shades of Americana acrylic paint and sea sponge. I went to lowes and picked s countertop and took sample withe to hobby lobby. I started with one shade sponging . When it dried I did another. I kept doing that till I got the look I wanted . You can add more of any color at any time if you want to. Once I got it like I wanted I put 6 coats of poly acrylic over the top that I got at lowes. I didn't use the countertop for 2-3 days. When I first did it I left something wet on and it bubbled but once the wet was removed it goes right back to normal. As time has gone on and it's cured more it doesn't do that anymore.

It looks like a loft. Can't really see room. Paint a soft gray. Hang panels on window go to the ceiling in a print. Try a contemporary look like black and white chevron. If you can't hide pipes just go with them. Paint them the same color of area. You have a view direct all furn to capture that. Big art in bold colors to being in color and interest. Ikea has great things. Think scale on furn. Will a TV go here? What are floors if wood or tile. Use a area rug in front of sofa area. Use glass top on tables to make room appear bigger. Low modern furn in light colors will work best. Paint all trim and doors white. Use brush nickel for hardware.

White is always a good choice or a very pale grey. From there you can add as much or as little colour as you want with furniture, bedding and accessories. If you want more colour in your rooms, perhaps bring more colour in paint for your bathrooms or the kitchen and keep the rest neutral with the white or pale grey.

Quartz worktops work well. They're low maintenance with a large range of colours. A white or off white worktop with marble effect can look well. Without seeing a photo it's difficult to recommend a specific worktop. Good luck

There are many different materials you could go with, quartz, granite, corian, wood etc but I think you need to decide on a colour palette first,

Do you want something with a pattern? Do you want it speckled or marbled?

Do you want something plain?

Do you want lighter? Do you want mid colour?

Why not email us a picture of the kitchen on info@anderson-sinclair.co.uk and we'll have one of our interior designers have a look and suggest some finishes for you

i suppose if you have dark worktops at the moment then a paler colour would look different, like a beige/cream colour but like forzaitalia said a picture would be helpful to see what the room looks like.
