Hey love the cabinet color it looks great. I actually dont mind the crystal topaz bench top. Any of the light colors for the bench top would work in well. Are you having the same color for your overheads? Also what is your splashback color? |

I dont think the Crystal Topaz has too much going on. we are doing Burnished wood with Starlight white stone benchtops (which looks similar to the topaz) and I dont think its going to look too busy. Burnished wood is kind of similar to Concept Oak I suppose, but I havent seen Concept Oak in a full sense, only what you have shown here (and I really like it too, by the way!). I think Designer white is too white for benchtops and it will drive you crazy. I think Pearl Bisque and White Tigris are tied second but depending on what the colour of your tiles are etc. If you are going for warm colours, go Pearl Bisque and if you have other greys, White Tigris. |

I think I'll make the overhead cupboards Concept Oak as well. And for the splashback I love those little 10 X 10 cm square tiles in a creamy brownish colour - haven't chosen a colour yet though. They are not within the standard range with our builder, and they seem to cost a fortune to upgrade, so my BF will lay them himself after handover. I'm leaning towards Pearl Bisque for the benchtops. I prefer creamy colours to greys, and I'm still not sure about Crystal Topaz. I love the look of stone and marble, but this one looked kinda funny when I looked at the combination at the Parbury showroom. Also, Pearl Bisque looks really nice when the light hits it, it shimmers. At first I didn't really like it because it didn't come in high gloss, but now I'm really warming up to it. Also, the porcelain tile colour that I like it a little bit lighter than Pearl Bisque, but really compliments each other well. And the tiles will be glossed, so maybe a different finish to the benchtop will be nice. Thanks for your opinions guys! I love the colour selection part of this whole thing, but it really stresses me out at the same time. My BF says that if it looks crap in the end it'll be my fault. MEN! |

Hey sezza, I found Envisage to be a good online program to play around with colours. Although, the colours are not from the company I have to choose my colours from, but it gives me an idea of what I want. I think I chose Wenge for the cupboards and Pure Mineralstone for the benchtop in that previous post I done. But I have to choose from the Parbury Wilsonart/Panelart range for my real kitchen. |
