Please help me pick a worktop

It’s such a big decision and I’m worried about getting it wrong! We are having a matt white handleless kitchen, and the floor will either be oak, oak-look porcelain tiles or something else neutral. I love the look of wooden worktops but am realistic that they will get trashed - I need something completely maintenance-free that will stand up to my unruly children and my complete inability to use coasters.

I had decided on a dark grey quartz with mirror chips because it was on special offer, looked hard wearing and I thought the chips would hide the crumbs. But now I am worried it’s just too dark and will look too “black and white” and stark. I love the look of concrete as well but it’s too high-maintenance.

I’ve spent hours and hours on Pinterest and I can’t even find a photo I like to copy. I feel like maybe I would like a lighter grey with no sparkles but would that just look a bit meh with no strong colour anywhere else? Also, are sparkly worktops cool or am I delusional?!?

Please help....

We've got a "swirly" quartz (can't remember what it is called) and it's light without being stark (and also disguises crumbs etc.).

Please help me pick a worktop
