Hi Lionel,

Is it OK to use Giallo Veneziano for countertops while my kitchen cabinets are reddish. Floor tiles and walls are both dark beige, almost caramel color.

Would it be better to choose another type granite?

Thanks for your help. I don’t want to make a mistake I will regret for many years.

As a granite fabricator, I should add that the granite available nowadays is almost always resined - basically factory-sealed for life.

Also a granite counter won’t crack under stress IF professionally installed.

So with these issues out of the way, granite clearly becomes the best material!

Dear Pia,

The most important thing is to narrow down your choices for the wall color. I’d recommend staying from overly bright colors if your family tends to eat in the kitchen/dining room area, because it’s an assault on the senses.

Many of my customers like colors that complement the flooring, so I’d recommend starting with your floor color, and moving toward darker shades to find a balance between your floor and countertops.

Best wishes,

Lionel Young

We are having a very small kitchen with little existing storage space re-done to be more functional. We have chosen a creamy distressed look cabinet, travertine floor in beige tones, and giallo veneziano granite, stainless appliances and sink. Everything seems to blend together nicely. The backsplash is difficult to describe: it’s a blend of bronze and silver which pull out these shades in the granite beautifully. It’s darker than I would have chosen, but when suggested by the tile person, it really looks elegant. Now, I have no idea what wall color to use. The other rooms in the house are gold and dark green. The other color in my “scheme” is a dark red, almost burgundy. Again, this is a small kitchen without a lot of natural light - only 1 window and a set of french doors. Thank you!

Bruce,

You can definitely buy foreign made cabinets unassembled. For example, our company sells unassembled kitchen cabinets at a discount.

Where are you located? There might be some independent cabinet places where you live. If you’re in the Bay Area, shoot me an email and I’ll see how I can help.

Best wishes,

Lionel
