From soft, subtle veining to bold patterns, these standout surfaces offer the perfect blend of form and function. Here’s a closer look at five inspiring quartz designs to inspire your next kitchen project.
Marble Looks with Dramatic Veins
Dramatic marble-look quartz is designed to turn heads. Inspired by high-end Calacatta marble, these surfaces feature bold, high-contrast veining that creates a sense of grandeur and visual drama. Ideal for statement applications—like waterfall islands, oversized backsplashes, and expansive kitchen countertops, this quartz style injects luxurious elegance into both traditional and modern kitchen designs.
Calacatta Solessio® features a brilliant white backdrop punctuated by thick sweeping cool blue-gray and rust-colored veins. Infused with LumaLuxe ® technology, it reflects light beautifully and elevates the entire space with a radiant, polished finish.
Calacatta Lapiza™, from our Q+ Collection, offers a similar sense of bold sophistication, showcasing blue, gold, and soft gray veins that flow across a warm white base. This dynamic palette gives it a rich, dimensional appearance ideal for dramatic kitchen focal points.
Marble Looks with Subtle Veins
For those who lean toward timeless elegance, white quartz countertops with subtle veining provide a softer, more serene take on luxury surfaces. With a nod to the delicate appearance of Carrara marble, these countertops bring refined movement and an air of tranquility to spa-inspired spaces, transitional kitchens, and light, airy interiors.
Calacatta Ultra® is defined by gentle, linear veining laid atop a pure white backdrop. This quiet yet sophisticated design pairs beautifully with pastel tones, light wood cabinetry, and soft neutral palettes.
Calacatta Azulean™, from our Bocage Collection, presents a warmer twist, combining striking blue and blonde veins across a creamy white backdrop. The result is a soft, inviting look that’s as versatile as it is visually appealing.
Quartzite Looks
Quartzite-look quartz brings the raw beauty of nature into your home with patterns and tones inspired by authentic quartzite stone. These surfaces capture the layered complexity and earthy warmth of natural materials, making them a go-to for rustic-modern designs and organic aesthetics.
LumaTaj®, an off-white quartz surface accented with golden veins, delivers refined natural elegance. Enhanced by LumaLuxe® technology, it offers both visual depth and elevated light reflection—perfect for kitchens seeking warmth and refinement.
Calacatta Versailles™ stands out with its unique two-toned background in cool gray and white. Its intricate veining adds visual complexity, making it a striking focal point for both rustic spaces and sleek, modern interiors.
Granite Looks
Granite-look quartz countertops offer a timeless option with the familiar charm of natural granite—without the upkeep. These surfaces are known for their dynamic movement, speckled patterns, and incredible durability, making them perfect for busy households and transitional design schemes.
Galant Gray® showcases swirling gray tones and an expanse of natural veining, offering depth and character in a modern, cool-toned palette. It’s a great fit for kitchens that blend style with everyday function.
Montclair White® features a lively mix of warm whites and grays with pronounced movement, capturing the essence of traditional granite in a lighter, more contemporary form. Its versatile coloring works well with a broad range of cabinetry and flooring finishes.
Modern Looks
Modern quartz styles are all about minimalism, clean geometry, and sleek sophistication. These surfaces often favor solid colors or understated veining, aligning with the uncluttered look of open-concept kitchens, industrial lofts, and streamlined interiors.
Arctic White™ is the ultimate minimalist surface—completely free of pattern or veining, offering a crisp, uninterrupted canvas of bright white. It brings a fresh, modern edge to any space.
Marquina Midnight® provides contrast and drama with a bold black base laced with striking white veins. This design epitomizes modern luxury and serves as a dramatic anchor for monochrome or industrial-style kitchens.
