Warm wood meets cool tones—with a perfect epoxy balance.

In this tutorial, we answer a common design question: “Can I have gray and white countertops if I have maple cabinets?” The answer is a confident yes—with the right blend of tones.

This custom epoxy pour brings together gray and white movement, softened with touches of gold and bronze to harmonize beautifully with the natural warmth of maple cabinetry. The result? A surface that transitions seamlessly between cool and warm tones, tying the whole space together.
