Hi Bradleys54, as you are creating a 'contemporary' style home, I would keep your kitchen finishes nice and simple - white on white. Then bring in colour variation by selecting a paint colour in a gorgeous, sophisticated grey, for the surrounding walls/bulkhead. Taubmans Cloudburst or Taupe Grey are both great interior colours. Your white kitchen will look fresh and crisp inside this colour. Consider a mirrored or grey kick face to your kitchen to work in with this scheme and glass pendants with grey or black fittings. I'm assuming that window will become your Kitchen Splashback.. If you wanted to steer away from an 'all-white' kitchen, then you could select Caesarstone's sleek concrete for your kitchen island bench top only, which would work in beautifully with they grey interior paintwork. Good luck!

I would vote for the top example here. Itr gives an earthy tone to the room and yet is still bright and wont show every piece of dust or food.

Hi Dale, above Sum of Three has kindly given you a link to a firm which carries the Reconstituted Stone material type by Silestone that you are after as well as the Porcelain product Decton. Other engineered Reconstituted Stone manufacturers who make this type of Marble look material include along with their links; Essastone, Caesarstone, Quantum Quartz who you already have, Stone Italiana, Smartstone and Silestone; who all offer their own distinct range of colour tones and paterns in a Marble look material which is perfect for the use in Kitchens. These manufacturers can each provide you with samples on request and from there you should be able to find the right colour and style that suits you. Hope this helps, regards Malcolm.

@Kate checked out tiles today found a beautiful charcoal 60x 60 floor .. I've found an awesome 20 x20 with blue aeld of blue colours ranging from navy blue through to other tones of it seems to work nicely with some gold penny rounds for niche and ledge for bath.. I'm thinking a timber fluted vanity to pull back into our timber floors outside plus the wall paper has earthy Brown's in it
