Its durable composition and wide range of colors, patterns and styles makes it a desirable option for many homeowners looking for a smart yet stylish surface for the kitchen, bathroom or other space. If you’re looking for the perfect quartz variety for your home, let’s take a look at all the color options as well as some suggested uses.
How is Quartz Made?
Before we dive into the different colors, let’s address how quartz slabs are made. Quartz slabs are considered “engineered stone,” which means they’re man-made using a combination of natural crystals from the earth and added dyes and pigments. They are not mined from the ground in blocks like marble or granite, for example. Instead, they are engineered by a process that involves extreme pressure and heat to produce a durable, non-porous slab.
Popular Quartz Slab Colors
In general, quartz comes in a wide variety of colors from very light to dark, but most people tend to trend to a handful of popular colors including:
- White. White is the most popular color, with options ranging from pure Absolute White to marble-look veined varieties like Blanco Genova and Calacatta Sueste. Clean, crisp, sleek and modern, white is an excellent choice to pair with virtually any color palette.
- Grey. From the paler Concrete Grey Honed to deep tones like Slate Grey-N, you’ll find plenty of choices when it comes to grey, as well as a multitude of white with grey details, such as Seashell-N’s granite-like style.
- Beige. For a warmer look, ivory, beige and tan hues are another popular color. From the understated cream-colored Apollo to the rich earthiness of Crest, these options pair beautifully with other neutrals, earth tones and many wood finishes.
Where Can Quartz Be Used?
Quartz is a beautiful and practical choice for countertops in the kitchen or bathroom, but it can also be used in other ways throughout the home. Other uses for slabs include:
- Backsplashes
- Bathroom showers– except for steam showers because of the high amount of consistent moisture.
- Flooring
No matter where you choose to use this durable, modern material, this is sure to make a visual impact in any area of your home.
