Ceasarstone Alpine Mist or London Grey for benchtop and back
Hello there, please help to choose benchtop and back between Alpine Mist or London Grey for a clear shiny bright white kitchen cabinets with greish floor kitchen tiles. Attached you can see the kitchen. A picture with the kitchen tiles, on the top the white cabinet and on the top of that the two quartz samples. The top quartz with the white veins is the Alpine Mist and the bottom quartz with the dark veins is the London Grey. Last you can see the cabinet with the actual piece of both quartzes. Again, the quartz with the white veins is the Alpine Mist and the quartz with the dark veins is the London Grey. Thank you for your help. Please vote!

Help with benchtop colour choice for all white kitchen
Comments (17)Bluemeeru, yes sink is on left next to dishwasher, which is next to the fridge. I never wanted a sink on the island for the same reason. Water splashes and there will always be something drying on the island. I like the option of having a totally clear island if I need it. Yes, I was worried the sink was too far from the cooktop but it works well for me. I did consider putting a narrow sink near the cooktop just in case I needed water during cooking but left it out in the end. The distance from my sink to the edge of the island is 1.5m. Dishes get taken out of the dishwasher and are put away in the drawers in the island nearest to dishwasher side, as my island is 3m wide. From there it is easy to take them out over the island to the dining table or serve the kids who sit on the island for breakfast. It’s 3.8m from sink to centre of cooktop, which could be considered quite far. I suppose I have gotten used the distance....See MoreHelp choosing cabinet colour for kitchen
Comments (6)Hi Heather, whatever the selection - we always recommend to have the cabinetry finish match as closely as possible to your wall finish - as to not look like two contrasting whites, you may just consider repainting after you've made the selection. Dulux Natural white or Lexicon Quarter are both very popular selections - and not on the too cold or too warm side either. We also find that most clients too will mix finishes - for example using a grey for the upper cabinetry, or on the island bench - to create contrast, you may notice that between all white walls, benchtop and sink the white becomes overwhelming! Good luck - we are loving the sounds of how it is all coming together so far!...See MoreNEED HELP FOR MY KITCHEN
Comments (21)I've had glass. Won't be having it again. I found it hard to clean from the perspective of the streaking. I can't imagine what mirror would be like. I'll be going back to tile but with a dark grout. I will also seal the grout. Having done this before in new bathrooms, it works a treat to reduce the 'grab-iness' of grout. I'm using tile to also add texture if that makes sense. If you look at Frosty Carrina close up it has that classic caesarstone 'grit'. If you don't mind that, it would be ok. But it's a dead give away that it isn't natural stone IMO....See MoreWhich ceasarstone would you pick?
Comments (2)There are so many beautiful colours of caesarstone. I had an all white kitchen and chose the night sky black with the sparkly bits as my benchtop. It was stunning.. Showed the dust though. Would still do it again lol.. when you love something you can wipe it lovingly... however back to you... there are many whites but I would definitely go for something with a hint of colour in it.. you could see if they have one that has the Calacutta stone look.. That is incredible. http://www.caesarstone.com.au/colour/5131-calacatta-nuvo#?photo=6dae2ad8-fcac-4435-8568-06db850f8c45....See More

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoHello there! Thanks for the question! I always meant to share the pics. We ended up with Alpine Mist, as the kitchen cabinets were too shiny bright white and it looked better. Also, the handels were silver so everthing matched better. If I had any wooden details the London Grey would look better. Last, the bit that you read about the Alpine Mist and the cleaness is true ;)
Would love to hear your decision.
