The countertops were carefully selected to match the cream color of the striations in the island granite. The contrast of light and dark help open up the room is a very coordinated manner. CONTRASTING COUNTERS By selecting this impressive mostly ebony colored granite for the island we turn an ordinary space into a high-impact statement piece! MAKING A BIG STATEMENT The stove backsplash is a full-height reflection of the kitchen island granite that makes a bold statement in the kitchen. The unique cream striations make this piece look more like art that a functional backsplash. MATCHING WALL TREATMENT By adding granite to the back wall of the open shelves we create the illusion that the entire back wall is granite, while adding an extra touch of elegance to the look of the built-in cabinets. BACK WALL ACCENTS CONTRASTING EBONY AND CREAM

Ebony & Cream Granites Create a Rich Environment

For this kitchen we selected a deep ebony colored granite with fascinating swirls of cream for the island and back wall treatments, then contrasted that with a cream colored granite countertop for the rest of the surfaces that matched the cream of the swirls in the darker granite. When combined with the dark wood cabinets and creamy wood floors, the result is a very rich and warm kitchen that proves you can create a modern look without resorting to white!
