There are many ways to create a beautiful kitchen design. And a lot of it comes down to exactly what kind of style you’re trying to present.
For kitchens that exude warmth, coziness, and a certain kind of depth, there’s nothing like a rich, brown countertop to set the tone for the rest of the space. Brown countertops have richness and style that can’t be duplicated in other countertop colors. And when those countertops are made of quartz, you get all the style beauty, along with the durability and low-maintenance care that makes quartz such a popular material.
Why Quartz Countertops?
Many countertop materials come in various shades of brown, but for homeowners that want the perfect blend of style, color, interest, and durability, only quartz can deliver. Quartz countertops are stain and scratch resistant, so whether you choose a lighter shade of brown quartz made to look like marble, or you opt for a deeper color, you won’t have to worry about that color fading or changing over time.
Quartz countertops are made from roughly 90% natural quartz – one of the strongest natural materials available – mixed with resins and pigments. This production not only produces a highly durable material, it also allows for the control of the color and pattern on the product. There are no surprises with quartz counters; there won’t be the introduction of an unplanned color like in granite, and the color and pattern will be consistent throughout the piece. This means that you can gain better control over the appearance of the room.
Why Brown Quartz Countertop is an Excellent Choice
Quartz countertops are available in many shades of brown ranging from a light milk chocolate to a very deep espresso. All of them are beautiful and will create a striking style in the kitchen, but each will do so in a very different way.
For softly elegant kitchens that just need a hint of warmth to make them inviting, opt for a warm, marble-look brown quartz countertop. With a creamy background and rich brown vein, this is a great way to create a formal, yet approachable design.
More contemporary spaces, however, need a richer, darker color to keep them from becoming too sterile. In this case, opt for the darkest brown quartz countertop you can find as an alternative to the ubiquitous black.
Transitional spaces may make the best use of mid-toned countertops. Since many quartz countertops have several shades mixed in, consider either using a countertop with base color one shade darker than your cabinets, but with a secondary color fleck to match, or opt for the opposite – a slightly lighter background with a deeper fleck that matches the cabinets. Either way, you’ll be adding depth and interest to the design, creating a more dynamic space.
Brown Quartz Countertop Design Ideas
If you’re looking for inspiration, take a look at these six brown quartz countertops. Any of these can be the perfect complement to your kitchen design.
1. Lights and Darks
This brown quartz countertop is the perfect blend of light and dark tones for this kitchen design. With a light gray/brown marble floor and a deeper brown cabinet, the countertop serves to tie the two areas together. The light brown background introduces its own color in to the scheme, while the different flecks of color within the counter pick up the different shades in the room, helping to pull it all together and create a unified, cohesive look for the space.
2. Center Style
This kitchen uses an island in the center of the room, that has an unbroken countertop as the focus. This means that all the colors in the room need to revolve around that one area. That’s why this particular brown quartz countertop works so well; it pulls all the colors in the room together. And while it’s sometimes popular to use a different color on the island, in this case, doing so would have been too dramatic for the space; instead, this island helps create a more quiet, subtle design.
3. A Darker Neutral
Many people like to opt for what they consider neutral colors in the kitchen. This gives the most flexibility in terms of accent colors, and allows for a greater audience when it comes to resale. And while most people think of neutral as shades of gray or beige, this brown quartz countertop offers a different solution.
Filled with flecks of brown, white, and gray, this quartz is neutral enough for any color scheme, but has a lot more personality than a plain beige countertop would, bringing additional style to the room.
4. Rich, Smoky Design
Many contemporary kitchens use a very dark or bold countertop to make a statement. A black or bright red counter can get a lot of attention, but it doesn’t always give people the right idea about the space. Opting for a very dark, rich, smoky espresso quartz countertop instead still complements contemporary spaces, but at the same time, brings richness, depth, and warmth that are often lacking from these types of designs.
5. Milk Chocolate Vein
Marble look quartz countertops are a beautiful addition to any kitchen. And while white or white and gray are by far the most commonly used colors, they often lack warmth that can be a much needed addition to the room. This creamy quartz countertop uses a milk chocolate-colored vein that has all the beauty and elegance of a white marble look counter, but with far more personality and warmth, letting it work in a wider range of spaces.
6. Multi-Tonal Space
This kitchen has a lot of warm wood tones already in use. The floor is a mixture of light and dark tones, while the cabinets are a clear, light maple.
To soften the more contemporary components of the room, while still complementing the existing color scheme, this warm, rich marble look brown quartz countertop is the perfect finishing touch.
Consider Brown Quartz for Your Kitchen
Brown quartz countertops have depth, richness, and interest that can’t be matched with other colors. And they have the same stain and scratch resistant, low-maintenance durability that people have come to associate with quartz. If you’re looking for a way to add some coziness to your kitchen design, consider brown quartz countertops for the job.
