• The best way to get a feel for how a dark quartz
  countertop will look is to combine it with other
  materials and settings. These design ideas will
  help you get a glimpse of what might be possible
  to introduce into your own home.
• 1. SOFT CONTRAST-
• This kitchen has a lot of light and warm tones
  throughout the space. The light wood floor, white
  cabinetry, and warm-toned backsplash tile need
  something to break it up in order to create depth
  and interest. Thats where this dark grey
  countertop works so well. Its got a slightly
  warm undertone that plays up the warmth already
  in the room, but its darker than the other
  shades providing contrast and depth.

• 2. UPDATED CONTEMPORARY DESIGN-
• Contemporary kitchens are all about smooth, sleek
  surfaces and clean lines. For many spaces that
  also means some contrast between lights and darks
  to help highlight these angles. This dark quartz
  countertop is an excellent contrast to the light
  wood cabinetry, but has some interest and
  movement of its own. This prevents the kitchen
  from looking sterile and gives it some additional
  interest and design.

• 3. LIGHTS AND DARKS-
• Its common in transitional and traditional
  kitchens to combine a lot of light and dark tones
  together to create depth. In this case, the
  island is the darkest color in the room creating
  a focal point. The quartz countertop serves as a
  bridge between the darkest tones of the island
  the lighter colors of the perimeter cabinets.
  This creates a cohesive look that helps tie
  everything together.

• 4. DARK FOCUS-
• Traditional and transitional designs can still
  make great use of contrast within a space to
  create depth and interest. This kitchen does so
  by making dark colors the focal points within the
  design. Dark woodwork and cabinetry and paired
  with rich, dark quartz countertops on the island,
  perimeter counters, and seating area. The light
  tones become accents in the space and help keep
  the room from becoming overly dark.
