When designing your kitchen, there are a lot of decisions to make. From the prominent elements like flooring and quartz countertops to the finer details such as hardware and lighting, you get to piece together all your favorite designs to create the kitchen of your dream. But determining how to perfectly pair different visual elements can be daunting. Will the cabinet color overshadow the backsplash? How will the countertops coordinate with the flooring? What style of quartz countertops will pair best with your backsplash?
If you’re in the midst of a kitchen design project, we’ve put together a helpful guide for selecting the perfect quartz countertops and backsplash combination.
How to Pair Quartz Countertops with Your Backsplash
It’s no surprise why quartz countertops have become increasingly popular amongst homeowners in recent years. From its beautiful color palettes and patterns to its ability to blend seamlessly into any space, quartz counters are a no-brainer when you want luxury and durability.
If you’re determining which backsplash will pair beautifully with your quartz counters, consider using our countertop visualizer to help picture the final product. To narrow down which combinations are ideal for your kitchen, here are a few tips to ensure your backsplash and countertops complement one another:
- Play with materials – Once you’ve chosen your dream quartz countertops, test out backsplashes made from a variety of materials. Mixing materials such as quartz paired alongside marble or glass tile is a great way to add dimension to the space.
- Blend natural stone – If you’ve opted for more of a modern-quartz look, add in a natural marble stone backsplash to create a classic sanctuary in your kitchen.
- Incorporate a matte finish – When you love the look of quartz but want to do something to stand out from the crowd, consider playing with a matte finish on both your countertops and backsplash.
- Highlight detailing with grout – Instead of using standard white with your backsplash tile, switch up the shade to a neutral tone that complements the quartz countertop’s natural veining.
By using these tips to craft your dream kitchen, you’ll be left with a beautiful counter that blends seamlessly with whatever backsplash you’re dreaming of.
