In our business, we spend a lot of time helping customers select their kitchen countertops to perfectly match their cabinetry, or visa versa. We don't mind a bit because the most important thing to us is that our customers are as proud as we are of their beautiful new or remodeled kitchens. [It's important that your kitchen cabinets and countertops bring out the best in each other](https://blog.kitchenmagic.com/blog/bid/136665/3-Tips-on-How-to-Choose-Kitchen-Countertops-Wisely).

 

First of all, kudos to you if you have decided on purchasing quartz countertops for your kitchen. [You have selected an earth friendly and beautiful countertop surface](https://blog.kitchenmagic.com/blog/bid/148683/Just-How-Green-is-the-Zodiaq-Terra-Collection) that will last a lifetime.

Here are our suggestions depending on the type of kitchen you have:

### You Have a Small Kitchen

We always recommend bringing a little light into a small room in order to make it appear larger and more open. Our three suggestions in this case would be:

 

 

***Lincolnshire Cambria Countertop*** - Combining the look of a natural stone with a plethora of lighter toned quartz crystals, it creates the brilliant appearance of natural light. The dark tones will look good with a dark wood finish, giving you the best of both worlds.

 

 

 

***[Silestone Ivory Coast](https://www.kitchenmagic.com/kitchen-countertops/quartz/silestone/colors)*** - This universal quartz countertop works with just about any cabinets as long as they have some warmth in their overall tones.

 

 

 

***Cappuccino Zodiaq Color*** - Even if you aren't an upscale coffee drinker, you will appreciate the light and warmth that these quartz countertops bring to any kitchen.

 

### You Have a Large Open Kitchen

The quartz countertop world is truly your oyster if you have a large kitchen. You can go as dark or as light as you want, as long as some aspect of your cabinetry is tied in with your countertop selection's colors and/or tones. If you want to go dark, you can look at surfaces like:

 

 

***Borealis Blue Zodiaq*** - This is an absolutely gorgeous pattern that works well with dark countertops and can easily blend with a modern kitchen's stainless steel or black accents.

 

 

***[Mountain Mist from Silestone's Mountain Series](https://www.kitchenmagic.com/kitchen-countertops/quartz)*** - We love this chunky earth toned quartz countertop pattern. It looks like it was made from a million different crystal facets and will blend in with almost any cabinet color - dark or light.

 

 

***Blackwood Cambria Countertop Color*** - This black quartz option will add a little sparkle to your kitchen while still maintaining the appeal of modern elegance.

 

Quartz countertops offer versatile colors and patterns for a variety of kitchen countertops. [Make an appointment to talk to one of our dedicated experts](https://www.kitchenmagic.com/appointment) and begin to design the kitchen of your dreams!
