How To Choose The Right White Quartz Countertop For Your Kitchen Or Bath

So you’ve decided you want to install white quartz countertops. Great choice! Now comes the tricky part — what type of white will bring together your desired look? When it comes to deciding which white quartz countertops will bring your vision to life, there are a lot of options to consider. This can make the decision overwhelming for most homeowners, but it doesn’t have to be a stressful process

Before looking at a variety of white quartz slabs and trying to decide between the perfect shade, there are a few factors you should consider that can help you make a more confident choice.

Room Lighting

One of the most important elements to consider is the lighting in your kitchen or bathroom. Is your room illuminated by artificial lighting or is your space flooded with natural lighting? How many windows are in the room? Your room’s lighting has a direct influence on the undertones of the quartz countertops that are going to show. When working with a room that relies heavily on artificial lighting, you might want to install white quartz countertops with a cooler undertone to help brighten up the space. If your room receives a ton of natural light, you have more flexibility in your choice and can opt for white quartz in both warm or cool undertones.

Cabinet Colors

You can’t choose random elements for your kitchen or bathroom and hope that they all seamlessly blend together to create your desired aesthetic. Instead, you need to consider how your floors, countertops, cabinets, and fixtures all work together to bring out the most from your space. Because your countertops are often sandwiched between your cabinets, it’s important that you consider how they work with the various tones of quartz countertops that you’re considering installing. Depending on your color scheme, you might be better off selecting a warmer or a cooler tone.

Overall Aesthetic

What is your desired overall aesthetic for the room? Are your countertops going to be a contrasting element against a backdrop of dark countertops and floors? Or are you opting for a sleek, all-white kitchen? If white is a dominant color in your kitchen or bathroom elements, you will want to choose a white quartz that is a similar shade and tone. You won’t want warm countertops if the rest of your white design elements are a cool tone.

Tones and Hues

The tones of your kitchen play an important role in tying together all the various elements of your kitchen from your countertops to your flooring to your cabinets and fixtures. Because quartz countertops are engineered, there are a variety of tones at your disposal. If your bathroom has blue cabinets or other design elements, you might opt for cool white countertops with blue or grey undertones. If you are aiming to have a warmer kitchen, you can install white quartz countertops with red or yellow undertones. You can select the perfect tone countertops to blend into your space — and can even consider countertops with veining throughout!
