Quartzite Kitchen Worktop Colours

Quartzite Colours Beyond White, Black and Grey

In the true sense of the word, white, black aren’t really colours. They’re a great way of creating a smart, stylish and rather cool look, but they can fall short of making your kitchen truly memorable and distinctive. 

If your taste is for something more striking and less commonplace, you should delve into other quartzite colours. Here’s our take on the kind of results you can achieve. Remember that these aren’t solid colours and that the shades are generally on the lighter side – but not always. It’s really all dependent on what nature got up to with the minerals all those centuries ago!

Pink quartzite worktops

Shades of pink are quite a change from neutral whites and greys, yet still bright and light. They’ll lift the atmosphere in your kitchen into a more decorative zone, and will work well with neutral walls and cabinets, especially dusty greys. 

Yellow quartzite worktops

Yellow-tinged quartzite gives a kitchen a summery look, especially in lighter tones, and goes exceptionally well with pale wood cabinets and even brass taps. Deeper yellows and golds add a touch of opulence which you can dial up with richer colours elsewhere in the kitchen, or soften with pale and neutral finishes.  

Orange quartzite worktops

Orange is naturally warm and sunny, and won’t let you down if you want to create echoes of Spain or Mexico in your home. It’s a lovely match for wooden kitchen cabinets and appliances in vibrant oranges, golds and reds – don’t forget to add a vase of sunflowers when they’re available!

Green quartzite worktops

Green is the colour of the natural world, and quartzite is a totally natural product. So it’s no surprise that a green-hued quartzite worktop will give your kitchen an organic feel that’s some way away from the linear, machine-made vibe of plenty of contemporary kitchens. Wood is a natural partner for green, but there are plenty of neutral options to pair it with, as well as pale and dark colours.  

Brown quartzite worktops

Like greens, browns are natural colours which can be toned in with wood in many shades, whether painted or unpainted. These ‘earth’ colours go together well, but can also give a lift to neutral colours used anywhere in the kitchen. Choose your cabinets, appliances and flooring appropriately, and your brown worktop will help deliver a warm, welcoming look which you can make as modern or traditional as you like.  

Blue quartzite worktops

Blues introduce a clean, cool theme which can work beautifully in kitchens. In all shades, it’s a classic colour which will give a smart edge to your kitchen. But the natural swirls and varied tones of quartzite will stop the look being too formal or regimented. Deep blues in particular can be very dramatic, and if uniquely striking are what you are after, blue is definitely worth exploring.   

Purple quartzite worktops

Purple quartzite can potentially be even more striking blue. It’s a colour that doesn’t feature a great deal in home décor, but in a quartzite worktop it can introduce a unique feel. It’s a proven partner for neutral units and stainless accessories, and you could look at pairing your worktop with yellow, oranges and greens. 

Multi-colour quartzite worktops

Probably the highest drama you can create with quartzite worktops is a multi-coloured stone. Nature knows no boundaries in the colours it can throw together as quartzite is formed, and you can find stones with an almost psychedelic or meteor shower look. You may well want to use neutrals or monochromes for the rest of the kitchen, but you needn’t be averse to picking out any of the colours in the stone. If you like a design challenge, a multi-coloured quartzite countertop really isn’t a bad place to start!
