Has anyone installed Lg viatera karis?

hace 6 años

Hi houzzers! I know this question was asked back in July, but I was wondering if anyone had installed the new Lg Viatera karis quartz countertops since then? If so, would you mind sharing your opinions and pictures if you have them? Thank you! Here is a pic of the sample I saw.

Jen, yes! I’m so happy with the quality. I was skeptical about quartz because of the obvious look of it. I had pretty much decided on minuet by Viatera and had accepted the repeaty type pattern as inevitable but tolerable given quartz’s many benefits. But then I found karis! I don’t find it to be repeaty at all. I’m attaching some closer pics.

Lauren, your kitchen is beautiful! Could you tell me the backsplash you used? I’m having Karis installed with Wood Mode Nordic White.

Hey Joanna, thank you! The backsplash is daltile rittenhouse 3 x 6 subway tile in arctic white. There were a few white subway tiles by daltile, but the “arctic white” had the best undertones with the karis. Good luck!

Hi Lauren! We just got our Karis installed and are about to paint our cabinets. Did you paint those yourself? What did you use under or gloss over?

Hi Eva! We did not paint the cabinets ourselves. They were sprayed at our house.

Hi all, we are looking at Karis and wondering your thoughts on pairing it with a marble backsplash? Would it be too busy? I’ve only ever seen pics of Karis paired with plain white backsplash. Any thoughts or pictures would be much appreciated!

Hey Embeth! I’ve heard a lot of designers don’t like to pair natural stones with man-made stones, because they can make the man-made look obvious. Honestly though, I’ve seen some quartz counters with marble backsplashes that look great! I’d make sure the undertones work well together, and get samples to look at in your space.

Lauren, thank you for the response. Good advice! Your kitchen is very pretty. I have island pendants almost identical to yours. You said your cabinet color is matched to Sherwin Williams? Do you mean it’s the same color as Sherwin Williams white dove? I’m just trying to get a reference for my own cabinets. I think SW white dove is a slightly warmer white. Do you find the Karis to be a warmer white background?

Thank u! Our cabinet paint is color matched to Benjamin Moore’s white dove (OC-17), but the painters used sherwin williams paint. I hope that explains it better and isn’t more confusing.

Oh sorry, and yes white dove is a warmer white without being yellow. And I do think the karis has a warmer white background.

I’m not sure why, but all my iPhone pics make the karis look a bit cooler than in real life

Hi Bell! We used Sherwin Williams paint color matched to Benjamin Moore’s white dove, OC-17 in semi-gloss on the crown and in satin on the cabinets.

I am looking at Viatera "Lumina" but after seeing some photos, I will check out Karis. I have white cabinets and want a square white square subway tile backsplash and Lauren's photo is gorgeous!

Alyssa, we used 2 1/4” red oak stained provincial and early American 4 to 1 respectively.

About to install Karis in our new kitchen. Love your pictures and love it for the same reason that the pattern doesn’t appear repetitive, so it looks more natural. I considered Minuet as well, but after seeing the two in person the Minuet didn’t have the same wow factor. I’ll add a pic when it’s installed.

Lauren, how have the counter tops held up? We are looking at installing this exact one, but scared because the seller said that quartz can stain pretty easily, and we have 3 young kids so that is a worry of ours.

HU, our quartz did not stain at all. Maybe the installer meant quartzite?

Haha no, she said all quartz, so we didn't look at many of the quartz options. I was confused because everything I read online said quartz was a stain resistant option and durable, so I wanted to get some input from someone who has this exact type of quartz. So glad to hear it has held up well! No issues at all with it?

HU- We installed LG Karis 2 years ago. We have noticed that red wine will leave a stain. If it's quickly caught and scrubbed it will nearly disappear. We also had a cast iron pan leave a rust-colored stain; same thing, some quick clean up and a lot of rubbing made it virtually unnoticeable. With the white background it does seem that some things permeate without some serious and quick maintenance.

I could’ve left wine, marker, tomato sauce, or really anything on our counter over night, and it would’ve wiped clean. Now, I was told that it would yellow in direct sunlight, but didn’t experience that.

Went with a tile from Menards - Mohawk® Crafted Gloss Gray 3 x 12 Ceramic Wall Tile I wanted gray tile but it took awhile to find one that worked well with the tones in Karis.

Paint we went with Benjamin Moore Silver Chain (1472). Should be completed in a couple weeks. Will post pic!

@Sabrina Malano I love you kitchen! What color did you use for your island? My fiancé and I are torn between the muse and the karis. We'd like to accent the island too. The plan was to use a dark navy but I love the grey you've used. Is it a bluish grey in person?

Big price difference between anything in masterpiece collection ie. Karis vs. Classic Collection Rococo or Minuet. Anyone else see this. I really want the Karis bit it is $1500 more just for my kitchen.

@Sabrina Malano what colour are your white cabinets? Also, do you think the Karis is too busy to use as the back splash?

It is not too busy for backsplash. Putting geometric tile against movement is too busy.

Thank you. I haven't seen any pictures anywhere with it as a backsplash
