Calacatta Oro with warm oak
Gold veined Italian marble running from the worktop up the wall, over oak base units and soft white cabinets.
Why it works
Calacatta Oro has a milky ground and veins that drift from gold to dove grey. Run the same slab from the worktop up the splashback and the veins carry on around the corner. Rustic oak below keeps it warm, and soft white above lets the stone do the talking.
Living with it
This is a calcite marble, so lemon, vinegar and some cleaners will leave dull marks. Ask for it honed, seal it, and wipe spills as you go. If that sounds like hard work in your kitchen, White Macaubas gives you a similar look in a quartzite that kitchen acids do not etch.
