I think Hugh needs more coffee. An image search of a Moroccan theme will show an opulent eclectic look and marble would be a great choice for a sumptuous room, teamed with deep colours and rich wood. If you are using the tiles as a punch of interest in a modern room then the white is a good choice too and of course if buying the worktop and cabinets from the same place will be designed to match. I think Hugh's suggestions of grey and wood are great options too so you just need to decide on the look you want.

The toughened mirror is fine behind a hob, I don't think it needs to be toughened if it is over 20cm away from the heat source but assume that's not relevant here. I will be using rough old glass (when I eventually get my extractor changed to avoid cut outs). They do offer a measure and installation service but it didnt work out particularly cheap for me as it's just going behind my aga. It may be worth the spend for you though as the glass can't be drilled etc once tempered and I assume you have a few cut outs given the length needed. My wall is also wonky so measuring/templating is somewhat tricky. You may also find local companies offer antiqued mirrors so can opt for measure and install (and peace of mind as they'll have to correct any errors) but it may be a case of ringing round them all as they certainly don't advertise it where I live. I found a number whom offered antiqued mirror but only one whom could offer toughened. i obviously love antiqued mirror but it does also mean tidy worktops :)

Thank you both for responding. I really appreciate it Sonia Im not sure abut a very pale colour especially on the island which is really dark grey. I think it would be high maintenqnce to keep looking clean and a bit too much of a contrast? If you have found any similar I would love to see. I have looked but nothing that grabs me Marylee I put the worktop sample upside down sorry! I know what you mean re more wood though I have seen lots of examples where people have done it successfully. I guess it would have to match exactly. It's giving me such a headache!!

I had to look up Quamar Pearl. Several images show up but i think its fine to go with what you have in mind. Just one small point that I noticed on your image was that the hinges are chrome and the handles brass (love brass handles which are making a come back) so would it be a consideration to have brass hinges too providing they are not already in position?
