The Appeal of Quartz in the Bathroom

What are the benefits of quartz countertops in the bathroom? Where should we begin? Let’s just say you’d be hard-pressed to find any downsides to using this amazing material in your bathroom.

Quartz countertops are sleek, chic, versatile and contemporary—we can hardly think of better qualities to bring to your bathroom design. But most of all, quartz is so easy to care for that it makes cleaning your bathroom a breeze. It’s an incredibly durable, non-porous surface that resists stains, scratches and the other potential problems you might see with natural stone countertops.

If that wasn’t enough, rest assured that you can find quartz that reflects the same style of your other favorite materials, including marble and granite, for countertops that are the perfect blend of timeless and low-maintenance.

Quartz Colors & Varieties

Continued innovations in technology create a constantly growing selection of quartz slab colors and patterns. As it happens, many of the colors quartz is available in are excellent options for a bathroom design. Popular color choices include:

• Pure white
• Light gray
• Cream
• Tan
• Slate gray

Quartz patterns include a range of subtle details such as flecks, crystals, soft veins and more. Some varieties of quartz slabs are designed to mimic the look of other materials, including marble, granite and concrete.

Design Styles that Complement Quartz

So, how do you choose the best quartz slab for your bathroom? Let’s look at several different design styles and the quartz colors/varieties that pair perfectly with them:

• Modern: Aside from the modern look of pure white quartz, concrete-look quartz slabs are a popular countertop option for modern bathrooms. You can’t go wrong with Concrete Grey or Metropolis Gray.
• Traditional: In a traditional bathroom, quartz that’s closer in style to granite or marble can be a stunning and timeless choice. Monte Carrara and Lyksamm are two marble-look quartz slabs that bring classic elegance to a traditional-style bathroom. A few additional options that pair well with this design style include Metropolis Brown, Gemstone Beige-N and Troya.

• Spa: If your bathroom is a haven of peacefulness and serenity, with an inviting and calming design reminiscent of a spa, go for quartz countertops that are simple and neutral. Absolute White counters are a no-brainer for a spa-like atmosphere, with a clean look perfect for a relaxing bathroom style. In a spa-style bathroom that’s a little more earthy and natural, a creamy, warm color like Opaline or Ivory White Honed is another stunning choice. Each of these options pairs beautifully with a white, blue or green color palette.
