You are going to have to leave your comfort zone on this one. Walnut is "brown", you have "pink" as a counter top. I would suggest going with another version of the colours already in the room. you have gray/beige and white. I would hesitate going white...but it can be done. You can move into the grays and be very happy (it would look very modern) or you can move into a beige that holds a hint of pink in it (not pink...but a blush of warmth). Or you could go really wonky and add in something like a brushed stainless steel look to the cabinets and have it go "space age". There are specs of blue/gray in this counter top. The next think to look at is an "ashwood" or dark gray wood presentation that has some blue in it. It would lighten the space yet still add drama that dark cabinetry offers.

Hi, I love the look of marbles as kitchen counter tops but am hesitant because of the problems with staining. There are lots of vitrifed glazed floor tiles which give beautiful marble look. Is it advisable to use them as kitchen counter tops? Since they come in 4x2 ft size, the number of joints will be less. Will they be chemically safe around food? Thanks in advance

If you will like to go little different than Indian / traditional one, mint green colour is in trend and goes well with brick colour walls. Looks good if you have white appliances, crockery and some other elements that are visible with it. (Sourced from google images) https://goo.gl/images/Wyu1kR

Sheenu, You can get LED Panel lights and get them installed with help from your carpenter and electrician. Carpenter will make holes in the loft panel and electrician can do the wiring accordingly. It looks great in Kitchen and quite functional too. Just ensure that the wires are properly ducted. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.
