Can I mix corian and granite in my kitchen?

KMS Woodworks on Feb 12, 2012This happens more than you would think.....because the corian is Neutral this will work just fine if you stay in the same color family. A tan to beige type granite would look like it matches. I would stay away from the really dark blacks, green, uba tuba types.Helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Feb 12, 2012I cannot match white socks so color advice would not be my thing. But choosing a complementary color I would think would be your best option. But there has been times that I have seen complete opposite color matches with islands and counter areas. And they looked quite nice. It all depends I would think on how much attention you want looking at island. Just remember, once you get the stone in the center, your going to want the rest done later on. For some reason this always happens. But if you purchase a higher end stone for the island now, it may not be available a year later.Helpful Reply

The Kitchen and Bath Showroom on Feb 13, 2012You absolutely can! Definitely go with a contrasting color and, if your countertops have particulates, you may want to be careful with the granite pattern as well.Helpful Reply

Ricardo B on Feb 13, 2012If your existing has swirls or specks of color infused in it... lift one of those colors and use it as the complementary color on your island.Helpful Reply

AA Marble & Granite, LLC on Feb 13, 2012Yes, this is very popular. You will want to hand pick your slab so that it compliments the Corian, the floor and the cabinetry.Helpful Reply

Project Style, LLC on Feb 13, 2012You didn't mention whether the island base is the same color as your cabinets or a contrasting color. We love the look of a complementary contrast on the island top.Helpful Reply

Kris S on Mar 26, 2012I would advise not trying to match your Corian. The person who mentioned "near miss" was correct. Either go much darker for a contrast (especially if you have a patterned Corian that stands out) or, if your Corian is less pattern, find a patterned granite that is darker, but contains the color of your Corian in it. That way you can visually tie the two together and it will give the room better visual flow.Helpful Reply

Lynda D on Mar 26, 2012I have a neutral Corian in my kitchen and dark blue in the butlers pantry. It looks great! Granite in the great room on the bookcase and with an open floor plan it all flows very well.Helpful Reply
