Design Integration Tips
Color Scheme
- Neutral Base: Pair with soft whites, warm beiges, or light grays for walls and cabinets
- Accent Colors: Add charcoal, navy, or sage green decor to echo veining; avoid bold reds or yellows

Wall Design
- Paint Choice: Crisp white (e.g., "Swiss Coffee") or soft greige (e.g., "Revere Pewter") for airy feel
- Backsplash: Simple subway tile in white or light gray; avoid busy patterns if island is focal point
- Texture: Shiplap or textured wall behind island for depth
Floor Design
- Wood Floors: Wide-plank oak in light to medium stain (honey or natural) for contrast
- Tile Floors: Large-format porcelain in warm gray or beige with matte finish
