Hi Tara, believe it or not, this is a very common problem. Most clients have overcome this by actually making a feature of the join - do a quick google search on 'bookmatched stone joins'. You can create a butterfly effect, it looks purposeful, and creates a very impacting and stunning look! The join line is very minimal, and also because the stone is engineered, the installer can pick two identical points to mirror from. Good Luck!

Hi Annabelle, Dulux Paving Stone will be a lovely contrast to the white on the cabinets. If you are wanting more of a white than Haast Half to use throughout the house, look at 'Snowy Mountains half' for the walls and ceilings, which will give you that crisp art gallery type feel, without it being cold. You can also use Snowy Mountains Half on the trims and doors but in semi gloss finish which will provide a small contrast, but then also use Snowy Mountains half on all of the kitchen cabinets. For a Polytec laminate in a timber darkish colour look at Char Oak, which I would use only on the fireplace cabinetry. If you choose to whiten the trims through the house, use Vivid White, but also use this colour on the kitchen cabinets. Paving Stone will work on the long cabinets in either option. Hope this helps:)

Difficult- the tiles and floor match beautifully it's just the laminate. Don't think brown works as grey tile has blue undertone Have you tried a navy against the tiles? I have navy laminate in one bathroom with osprey ceasarstone benchtop and warm grey tiles and looks great Thing is though laminate mist has to go with vanity top and splashback so if marble feature only above bath then could use White as clashes with marble but nice with grey tile and floor So hard nearly there

Hi all our terrazzo bench has been installed and in use for over 12 months. This bench was poured in Italy and then finished by a stonemason off-site type. When 1st installed I spilt some lemon juice which created a mark so we are careful not to use acidic items on the bench. I am not sure if this happened before or after we sealed it but I think it’s important to seal any natural stone product and we used the sellers recommended product called “slow drying sure seal” but I won’t vouch for its effectiveness as I can’t compare it to anything. Over all we love the look but I think you need to be a little more careful around natural products than engineered ones so it may depend on your lifestyle
