What colour quartz worktop?

[User2638483]

I would love opinions on what shade of quartz worktop to go for in this bathroom

As you can see the tiles are quite busy. The built in cupboards are f & b grey blue and are going to have solid doors added. The wall is little greene wood ash which is a really pale grey similar to the background colour of the tiles.

I was originally thinking a mid grey like the darker grey on the tiles, but am now thinking of a veined white or very light grey maybe something like silestone Calcutta gold?
Do you think that would work or would it be too busy with the patterned tiles?

(Sorry about the mess!)

There’s a temporary wooden template where the counter top is going and also going to be quartz on top of the built in cistern which has tongue and groove in the blue colour.

This is the Calcutta gold
Exact shade will depend what off cuts they have but was thinking this sort of thing, if it wouldn’t be too busy.
Or alternatively plain white or light grey.

I’m sorry I know it’s a boring question

Gorgeous!! Calcutta gold is lovejy I've seen it in a kitchen - defo that or a white/off white with vein.

That looks lovely!
Do you think the veining will work with the patterned tiles, I don’t want them to be competing

Not near there unfortunately but yes we’ll be going to look at the actual slabs they have available. I think you’re right that with such a relatively small bit it might look weird if there’s one large strong vein or something but I like the subtle veined effect

Yukon bianco also looks nice, thank you

I've got Silestone Ariel, it's mainly white with slight pattern liney marks, not veining, but not plain either. I love it.

Love seeing your Calacatta Gold @LittleOverWhelmed. It looks beautiful.

I'm ordering it tomorrow for my kitchen 😊

@User2638483 - also look at Miami Vena. It's still white, but has more consistent light grey vein. I'm ordering that one too for my utility and pantries, as it's 2 categories lower (cheaper) than Calacatta Gold.

Oooh good to know thank you

@LittleOverWhelmed please can I ask what colours you chose for your kitchen units and wall? Love the contrast with the dark island

Our kitchen quartz is misterio and would go well. It's white with a vein of grey.

Thanks for sharing @LittleOverWhelmed. It looks beautiful 🤩

we have black with mirror chips.
love it. can take a close up if you want (you really have to want it as I don't want to get out of bed just yet🤣)

Thank you, appreciate the offer but wouldn’t have dreamed of getting you to cut short your lie in
I also think that would be too dark with our colour scheme

that's ok.
it's been hours and I have been forced out of my cocoon to serve the Lords and Lady Monsters of the ZingManor🤣

@LittleOverWhelmed

These show the colours a bit better

Do you mind me asking what your floor is? Love the warm contrast.

hi! how has calcutta gold lasted since installed? how much did you pay for it? TIA
