Need Help Deciding on Granite!

I don't know whether to stay safe and go with Imperial Coffee or get something different and go with Terrabianca.

Re: Need Help Deciding on Granite!

I prefer the imperial coffee. That is more to my taste.
The Terra Bianca has too much pattern against the backsplash.
Just my opinion.

I prefer the terrabianca. I like lighter looking kitchens

I prefer terra but think the other may go better w backsplash and cabinets. Would you consider something light like terra w gold in it? I think that would be best

Imperial coffee
Most contrast - best with the backsplash

You need something more solid and darker to help let the backsplash stand on its own

The other one is too similar and the two blend too much to give any type of rich contrast

We have Terra Bianca, which I love. Let me know if you want me to send pics

It's a beautiful stone but it's got a lot going on- you need a very plain backsplash

That's what I'm thinking. It's going to take away from the backsplash which I love. I just don't want to regret my decision. But I'd love to see pics!

Imperial Coffee goes better with your cabinets and backsplash. We loved Terrabianca too but uktimately didnt go with it because we felt it was too "directional."

Re: Need Help Deciding on Granite!

We went with terra Bianca but we have plain white cabinets and a single-color backsplash.

fyi (which I had no idea until we got the final pricing) terra Bianca is one of the more $$$ choices

I don't think terra Bianca goes well with your backsplash though.

Thanks everyone! Turns out decision was made for us in the end. They don't have enough Terrabianca so imperial coffee it is!
