Kitchen worktops

I am in the process of having a new kitchen . I have chosen a hand painted Ivory Shaker kitchen but don't know what colour worktops to have.


I'm looking at Star Galaxy. Anyone any ideas.


My floor will be light coloured tiles. The kitchen is in an apex and I have a solid wood oak dining kitchen which I don't want to replace.


I don't want a wood worktop. Either want granite or quartz. But what colour?

    We've just had a hand painted kitchen fitted (F&B Wevet colour) and opted for Cimstone Savanna Quartz which is fairly similar to what you want. We've very happy with it!

    We have an oak dining table & went for oak laminate flooring and it looks fine. It does need colour to lift the room (we painted the walls light blue) otherwise we thought all white was too stark.

    Good luck with what you decide.

  • We had ivory shaker and chose Blues in the Night to go with it. It took us ages to decide on the worktop but we never regretted it for a minute - it looked fantastic. Star Galaxy looks very similar so I'd suggest it will look good.
