Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 May 23, 2013 2:24 pm So we are building a house and I'm a bit unsure on our benchtop.

Otherwise it might look odd? Anyone have any thoughts or advice? New to all of this Thanks Re: Kitchen benchtop help... beige tiles and a white kitchen 2May 23, 2013 8:23 pm I think the Luna Stone should work well.

Do you think if we did change to a more white benchtop that it would bring out any pink in the tiles? Wish we had chosen a more neutral coloured tile but we bought them at a such great price. Re: Kitchen benchtop help... beige tiles and a white kitchen 4May 24, 2013 7:03 am Are you able to get a photo of the tile NOT on the other tiles under it? They are throwing off their own colour...... can you put the tile maybe on the back veranda if you have one and take a photo.

Alpine Marble maybe? Also, should the doors and window trims be painted the wall colour Smoke Pearl in semi-gloss, or should i get them painted in white semi-gloss? Would that bring out the Parchment cupboards? Thanks Re: Kitchen benchtop help... beige tiles and a white kitchen 7May 26, 2013 1:29 pm I can't see pink in the tiles......

If they are wide then yes make them another colour to highlight them, if they are a narrow profile paint them the same colour as the wall so they blend in.

I'd have to stay away from grey undertones i'd assume. I'm thinking of incorporating whites and browns in decor to compliment the beige?
