Why Quartz Countertops?
Quartz countertops are a great low-maintenance option for your kitchen. Other stone materials require regular sealing — but not quartz. Since quartz is a non-porous material, it’s also highly stain-resistant.
Be aware that some things like turmeric, red wine and coffee may leave a stain if left on the counter for too long. The good thing is you’ll be able to clean up any spills with regular household cleaners (like dish soap), unlike other stone countertop options.
Choosing a quartz kitchen countertop is an investment in your home. The luxury finish, sleek look and durability will appeal to you for years to come. Once you’ve decided on quartz countertops, get inspired with six countertop colors that will transform your kitchen.
1. Bright White Quartz Countertops
White quartz countertops will give your kitchen a bright, modern look. There’s also long-term appeal that comes with all-white quartz countertops. Since they can easily coordinate with any style, they’re less likely to need to be replaced no matter where your style and preferences take you next.
Paired with natural wood finishes and black fixtures, this is one kitchen design you’ll never get tired of looking at. The two-toned cabinetry adds a natural element that is easy to accessorize. This neutral combination is great for kitchens with an open floor plan, letting it flow easily into the rest of the house.
2. Sleek Black Quartz Countertops
Make a bold statement with sleek black quartz countertops. This eye-catching look can easily transform even the smallest kitchen into a total showstopper. Since the quartz countertops are dark, create contrast by keeping the rest of the space light and bright. The playful colors of the mauve cabinets and light blue backsplash help to soften the black quartz countertops.
3. Stormy Gray and White Quartz Countertops
Choose quartz countertops with a mixture of white and gray to add interest to a narrow galley kitchen. You don’t have a ton of counter space to work with here, so it’s important to create a statement where you can. Solid slabs of quartz on your countertops will become the focal point of your kitchen.
Replace a portion of the upper cabinets with floating shelves to make the kitchen appear larger and more open. Use the shelves as a spot to display your favorite dishes and a few plants to give the space an organic feel.
4. Neutral Gray Quartz Countertops
5. Striking Black and White Quartz Countertops
Go bold with black quartz that has a ton of dramatic white veining. To keep your kitchen from feeling too dark, use a slab of black quartz on just your island and white quartz countertops everywhere else. Wrap the island with a waterfall edge to ensure the beauty of your black and white quartz kitchen countertops is the star of the show.
6. Timeless Beige Quartz Countertops
If you’re still not sure which route to go, quartz countertops with mixed tan, brown and white tones is a great option. Beige quartz countertops are neutral enough that they'll work in just about any kitchen and will still give your space a clean, modern look. The various tones in the natural stone make it easy to coordinate your cabinet color, backsplash and wall color. It doesn’t matter the style of your kitchen; this look is a winner.

What is the Most Popular Quartz Color?
Trends are always changing, but you can never go wrong with a classic like white, gray or beige quartz countertops. Just because a bold color like black quartz countertops are trending, doesn't mean they're right for your home.
