Stylish Living: Decorating With Quartzite Countertops

[Revised February 2025 – updated content and current products added]

Homeowners and designers with an eye for style frequently choose quartzite countertops to craft beautiful kitchens, charming bathrooms, and tastefully designed living areas. Quartzite, a metamorphic stone derived from sandstone, is prized for its sparkling crystals, earthy durability, unique colors, and opulent aesthetic. This versatile stone exhibits a marble-like appearance that appeals to traditionalists while offering the strength of granite. Typically found in neutral shades of gray, white, and beige, quartzite countertops pair well with various color schemes and suit every decorating style.

For those seeking bold statements, quartzite options like the green-speckled Amazonite and smokey Aquatic provide dramatic focal points. Regardless of the colors they display, quartzite enhances designs ranging from classically luxurious to modern and chic.

Aquatic Quartzite

A Handsome, Hardworking Surface

Quartzite countertops are truly a wonderful choice for kitchens filled with the excitement of trying out new recipes, enjoying cozy family meals, and hosting lively gatherings! This stunning, high-quality surface is not only a breeze to maintain compared to marble, but it also boasts durability that rivals its igneous counterpart, granite. With quartzite countertops in your home, you’ll benefit from remarkable strength and fantastic resistance to chemicals, extreme temperatures, and etching. Proper sealing wonderfully protects against stains and scratches while showcasing the beautiful shimmering flecks and unique veins that make each piece special.

While they might come with a higher price tag than granite, the investment is absolutely worthwhile due to their extraordinary beauty, captivating patterns, and natural textures. In the warm and inviting kitchen below, the Tempest polished quartzite countertops perfectly complement the silvery tones of the stainless steel appliances, sinks, and faucets. The rich color of the quartzite creates a stunning contrast against the neutral cabinetry, while beautifully harmonizing with the earthy tones of the tile backsplash, resulting in a delightful interplay of finishes and a balanced mix of warm and cool hues.

Quartzite is ideal for creating stunning countertops, like this stylish Temptest quartzite countertop. Made from the gem-like mineral quartz, quartzites vary greatly in color, pattern, and appearance. These variations stem from the minerals and impurities that were present when the original sandstone transformed into quartzite, as well as the stone's age and region of origin.

These elements combine to make quartzite a wonderfully unique and versatile design material. In this contemporary, airy space, the beige veined quartzite countertops harmonize beautifully with natural wood finishes. The quartzite brings warmth and an organic touch that softens the room's sharp angles and clean lines.
