Try looking at compac quartz. I think they’re more reasonable than silestone.

Hi there. We are having Caesarstone’s Misty Carrera as we liked the white marble effect. We haven’t had our kitchen installed yet though, so hoping it looks nice!

I agree with Emanuelle. I think wood brings warmth to schemes like this. I have also lived with wood worktops and love the fact they can be sanded and resealed. I have broken so many lovely places on my granite, but it does look nice too. I think your issue is with tone, not colour. The floor is tonally dark and almost everything else is light. As long as the worktop is in between tonally it should be down to your personal preference.

Another vote for Dekton and Sileston Quartz worktops, use them all the time in our projects as so much more forgiving and low maintenance than granite or marble. Agree that Corian is a good option if you have a large island to prevent visible joins, whilst it has other benefits you do need to be very careful when it comes to heat. Vast range of colours and textures in all types nowadays so the type of material shouldn't limit the effect you want to achieve - be that traditional or contemporary. I am always a big advocate that a worktop is an investment, there is no point spending a large sum on a beautiful quality kitchen and then finishing it off with a worktop that won't stand up to time as well as the rest of the room or cheapen the look - I always recommend to go for the best you can afford.

Hello Charlie, You're welcome! Well the down draft was just one suggestion and they do vary in aesthetic but if you want free flow across the island then the ceiling version is better. Yes I too like the idea of not seeing the hood at all..... I think you can tease out that design out of your kitchen designer but here's another suggestion on that idea... http://www.iconappliances.co.uk/cooker-hoods/recessed-ceiling/abk-neerim-recessed-ceiling-hood-external-motor-required.html Yes I prefer the Ashtanga Yoga it's far more exciting if you haven't tried it do! .. So why not have a mix of touch open hinge mechanisms and the cup handles for the drawers.. Well... you're not going to be floored by the flooring! .. I have a trade account with a fantastic company but they only sell to trade so... Here's one that has some nice shades that I found- Chevron is another nice design too to consider... : )) http://www.havwoods.co.uk/search/havwoods-design-herringbone-blocks

Thank you all for getting back to me, I really appreciate your comments. I had never thought of parquet flooring, I'm definitely going to have a look in to that, I was worried that the white tile may look to clinical, I think a wood floor may give it that extra warmth and texture. With the mirror backsplash, I'm glad to here that it is possible, if the company that we went to still disagrees, I will look at alternative suppliers. Yes, there is a 2.5 metre window and an orangery directly opposite the kitchen, you maybe able to see it briefly in the second image in my first post. So there is quite a lot of light coming in to the room. Thanks again for all your help :)

Have you considered Krion? It works out cheaper than most quartz and is a really good product. Each Krion colour has a different grade so pick a high grade one. http://www.krion.com/uk/sheets. We installed white Krion for a project in Islington which looked fantastic (sorry no pix as yet) and also this grey one shown here. It can be moulded like Corian.
