STAINLESS
Why not?! This isn’t just for commercial kitchens and if it holds up there it will surely withstand your kitchen! I have seen this in updated French Country, Classic Traditional kitchens with a Carrara Marble Island and Modern/Contemporary Kitchens mixed with a Black Antiqued Granite. Try combining stainless with warm wood cabinets and floors, it doesn’t have to be a cold look.
QUARTZ
Don’t get confused on the branding game on this one. Quartz is quartz; ground up quartz with an epoxy resin to create the color. Focus on the color when looking for quartz, not manufacturer; whether you get Silestone, Caesarstone, or Zodiaq they are all quartz slab products that you will adore in your kitchen for a lifetime!
GRANITE
If you are still wanting granite countertops. Try out a granite that has an Antiqued Finish. It gets rid of that high gloss finish and adds a slight texture that gives your countertops a wonderful natural finish, but soft leather touch! What about a different edge detail, or shape for that matter?! This island not only has a Double Ogee Step-out edge, but it has great curves to add a great Old World look.
