5 beautiful ways to use a grey quartz worktop in your kitchen

1. Dark and light grey:

The tonal palette for grey is huge so it’s helpful to talk about dark and light grey. Light grey works in a similar way to white whilst dark grey has aspects in common with black.

A sophisticated dark grey worktop in a cool tone creates a dramatic and luxurious look. When paired with further tones of grey, the minimalist effect is enveloping, elegant and soothing. It’s a great choice if you like darker coloured kitchen worktops or want a lighter option to black.

Meanwhile soft light grey is ideal if you want a more colourful alternative to white. The look is elegant, bright and clean whilst leaving room for you to layer on creams and whites if you choose.

2. Tone:

Greys in warm tones have a soft beige, brown or taupe undertone giving them a refined, luxurious look. For a more contemporary feel, bolder cool tones with a blue undertone look ultra-modern and crisp.

3. Colour:

The entire colour palette is yours to explore when you opt for a grey kitchen worktop. From pastels to bright and even darker colours like blue, it’s easy to experiment with colour on walls, cabinets and even floors when you choose a grey worktop.

For a soothing look, layer on more tones of grey alongside metallics and touches of black for contrast. Pairing grey with white creates a pristine, clean look that’s bright and inviting. For interest against a completely neutral palette, add contrasting touches of black.

Pro Tip: Experiment with colours in darker shades, such as dark blue or green for a luxurious and elegant feel.

For a relaxing fun look, pastels such as minty greens or sherbet pinks are popular ways to use colour with grey. The pastel pairing is particularly effective when used with light grey and makes a space look contemporary and inviting.

If you like bright colours, a grey quartz countertop will give you the freedom to choose any vibrant colour you wish. From yellows to pinks, oranges, greens and blues, grey is the best frame for brights in any colour, opt for a dark grey to provide the perfect contrast.

4. Texture:

Woods, metallics and natural stone all work easily alongside grey. Mid brown woods add a warm, luxurious feel to both light and dark grey.

For a cool, refreshing Scandi style use light wood with light grey. Wood flooring looks particularly effective with grey whilst all metals are also open for use with grey. For something a little different, warm copper or brass finishings or contrasting black create a striking look.

5. Grey Quartz finishes:

Quartz worktops are revered for their stunning finish and hardwearing properties. When it comes to a block colour worktop that will last, you can’t get better than quartz.

Quartz worktops are made from a robust mix of crushed, naturally-occurring quartz crystals and glue-like polymer resins. Quartz crystals are found deep down in the Earth’s crust so a quartz worktop is extremely durable and highly resistant to heat, scratches, stains or fading.

They are made in an enormous range of rich, bold colours as well as authentic-looking natural stone. For those who want a coloured worktop, a quartz countertop is the first choice for many. In addition to the brightening qualities of a gloss finish, a sparkle finish will further amplify the light in the room.
