What is the countertop material, brand, color and name

I'm looking for black honed quartz countertops with a bit of texture or color creating texture, though simple and subtle. I wondered if you had any suggestions and what was used in this kitchen.

Hi Debra - this is Cambrian Black Granite, in a honed finish. We love it! We also love the leathered finish, which gives the stone a really nice texture.

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.

Having looked through your idea book, I would say that 70 percent of the pictured have a similar style to them, broadly speaking. Warmer tones, some darker wood / walnut, many of them handleless. As a next step, I would go back to all the pictures and write down the elements that appeal to you, and be quite specific. If there is one picture that stands out to you as having the right overall balance you can use this as a template when planning your kitchen, even if for example it has shaker doors, but you might want handleless. You also need to consider how the kitchen will look against existing elements in the room, and things you might be planning for the living area. Then consider the practical elements, ie pros and cons of different doors, finishes, worksurfaces etc. Some of this will depend on your circumstances, do you cook a lot, want easy to clean etc? There's lots of articles on Houzz covering that kind of thing. Budget will also play a big part. For my part, I went with a handless German kitchen, with a matt finish with a quartz worktop. I cook a lot and have found this combination very easy to keep clean.

Any pale colour will stain if you treat it badly so even quartz which is considered to be hardwearing will need care so you don’t leave anything on it that has a strong colour (such as red wine spills etc). Beware- the inexpensive quartz seems to be more plain while the more veined patterns can be three times the price. If you are comfortable with a higher price range you might consider porcelain style products like Dekton where marble like products are widely available.

Thank you everyone for your comments so far, some really good ideas! I'm definitely feeling the tuxedo trend at the moment (and colourhappy's picture about looks like it might go with the counters) but would the Range then look out of place? Unfortunately, because of the temperature of the room, we've had to put a rug on the floor just to give us a little softness underfoot - so it doesn't really feature in our scheme plan. love all your mock ups celerygirl, really helpful! I really like all the variations on green, but the husband isn't so keen, but I'll show him all the others to see if that sparks anything. All the doors have weird latches on instead of handles, so next it'll be deciding on what to replace them with! thanks all
