Hi, I've now had quartz worktops fitted in a white with grey and mirror flecks (compact lactea) & attach photos. Cabinets are all done too. My next area is what to do for splashback behind the hob/under the extractor. I originally wanted to do red glass across the length of the wall, but we have had under unit lights fitted below the higher cabinets and at night I can change these to any colour I want. If I do red all across I won't get the effect of the lights. Not even sure red would go? The wooden chairs are going and will be replaced & I still need to choose my island lights (thinking 3 pendants hanging). Husband thinks stainless steel sheet behind hob. I'm not sure this will look right with dark glass hob under it & wonder if it is hard to look clean all the time. What ideas do you all have as you helped with the worktops. I also show the dining table and the new open lounge area (intend to put a rug down). We also still need to find wall lights.

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.

Stunning material. It's Belvedere isn't it ? We were going to use this on a recent project in Cambridgeshire with graphite matt lacquer and antique brass cabinets. Unfortunately we couldn't obtain large enough slabs so we ended up with Cosmic Black - see our project page for details! Go for it, it'll look stunning!

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!!
