white macaubas quartzite backsplash with gray cabinets

Rookie Mom
hace 3 años

Hello all,

I am planning to use white Macaubas quartzite for my kitchen countertops with gray cabinets (cabinets are sw pavestone as pictured below).
I am thinking if I should use the same quartzite as the backsplash as well. Do anyone have pictures of using the white macaubas for the counter+backsplash with gray cabinets.
It would great if you can share pictures and also the flooring you have.
I am not sure if I should go with light flooring (LVP) so any suggestions would help!

Also, I will be getting a sample of the quartzite and testing it but if folks can provide feedback on how it has been holding up , would be very helpful since we are pretty rough with our kitchens.

    @Rookie Mom: I took a few close-ups of my honed Macaubus quartzite, though I’m not sure the photos can convey what I mean.




    It feels very soft, almost powdery.

      I used Fantasy Macaubus quartzite with gray cabinets (Benjamin Moore Silver Shadow with a pearl sheen) and charcoal slate tile. The walls are matte Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace. The result is quite cold. Photos below. (Still a work in progress.) Therefore, I would suggest you consider hardwood floors and a backsplash with warmer tones. Maybe yellow? Yellow and gray pair beautifully together. I also love pink and gray.

      Makes sense , thanks for the pictures .. when you say yellow, do you mean more of cream/beige?

      Maybe too bold. There are other ways to add warmth to the kitchen palette- such as metals for cabinet hardware, appliances, hood, etc...


      Are you planning to hone the quartzite?

      Ah yes too bold.. No I am planning to have them polished .. the appliances would be stainless steel .. open to having hardware with black or gold

      Then run that quartzite up to the backsplash. But I suggest you consider honing the quartzite.

      Wouldn’t polished stone be better for stains? Is there a reason you suggest honing it?

      I don’t believe properly sealed polished quartzite is better for stains. As for etching, I believe honed stone is less noticeable. I am actually recommending honing the stone for aesthetic reasons. The effect is very soft, which translates as a warmth.

      All materials are sealed, regardless of finish - Polished, honed, or leathered (also know as brushed, antiqued, etc). So, don't let that be a worry with your selection
