Quartz kitchen worktops are highly durable, demand low maintenance and are known for their elegant appearance. Also, there are a wide variety of colours and patterns available to choose from.
As there is a wide variety of colours and patterns available for quartz worktop kitchens, there often turns out to be a big confusion as to which colour to go for. So, here in the guide, we will further discuss all those factors that can help you choose the right quartz kitchen worktop.
Given below are the factors to consider before you finalise the right quartz worktop kitchen colour
Kitchen Style
Modern Kitchen:
If your kitchen is a modern British or Nordic-minimalist kitchen, then the best quartz worktop option would be a solid or subtle patterned quartz (think speckles or fine veining!) in tones of white, grey or black.
Traditional Kitchen:
If it is a traditional kitchen, then the marble-like quartz with soft whites, creams, or light browns will suit the best.
Rustic Farmhouse Kitchens:
Whether it is a coastal Farmhouse, Industrial Farmhouse or ever shabby-chic, these kitchens mainly demand a cosy feel, and that will mostly come from earthy tones like beige, warm greys or brown quartz.
Industrial Kitchens:
If it is an industrial-style kitchen, then one should go for dark-coloured quartz worktops like charcoal, deep grey or black.
Kitchen Lighting
Natural Light
If there is a lot of natural light in your kitchen, then dark quartz colours are not not the best for it. To enhance the brightness, one should go for lighter colours.
Artificial Light
If your kitchen has limited natural light, then light-coloured quartz, such as white and cream, will make the space feel more open and airy.
Lighting Temperature
If the lighting is cool, then it will go well with grey and white quartz tones. On the other hand, if the lighting is warm, then it is best to go for beige and brown shades.
Match with cabinets and flooring
Contrast
For a safe pairing, light-colored cabinets should be matched with dark quartz. Alternatively, pairing dark cabinets with light quartz creates a striking contrast
Complimenting Colours
Quartz should be chosen to match the undertones of the cabinets and flooring.
Neutral Pairing
If the cabinets and flooring are bold in colours and patterns, then one should go for neutral quartz in white, grey, or beige colours to balance the aesthetics.
Maintenance and Practicality
Quartz worktops are easy to maintain, but still, the required upkeep depends on the chosen colour.
Light Colours
Light-coloured worktops such as white show stains more quickly but are known for providing a clean and elegant look.
Dark Colours
Dark-coloured quartz will be good at hiding stains but will show fingerprints and dust.
Patterned Quartz
Patterned quartz with veining or spackles can quickly help conceal the daily wear and tear a worktop may go undergo.
