I am looking for either a granite or marble counter which will go with black, I do not want just plain black but something with black and brown colours through it.

Where in Ireland can I purchase the above & what style would you recommend with a grey kitchen. Thank you Siobh Kelly.

Hi. I want to position a 50cm width microwave oven under the countertop but the kitchen designer has told me that it isn't safe with children having access to it there. I don't live with small children but they do visit my home. I'd rather not have it on the counter, as it takes up valuable space. Is there some regulation about this that I'm not aware of. I live in the ROI. Any advice, please?

what blue shade would work in North facing kitchen, with a strong warm toned hardwood maple floor? I'd like to pick warm blue that's isn't too on trend. Any advice on a budget counter top replacement please? I'm thinking with a dark blue, like F&B hague Blue, or lighter like stone blue or lighter again.... without being too grey looking. Any advice greatly appreciated. we're going to get it professionally sprayed and alot paint the tiles, probably a warm white.
