3rd, certainly

They're all very close. Just make sure you take your paint chip and cabinet door to the fabricators and look at them with the large slab. It's very hard to decide on such a big purchase by looking at a 3" square. You want to make sure the movement isn't too much and that the colors are right.
Also take a tile from your floor.

Looks to me like your third choice is Alpine White. I'm just finishing up my kitchen remodel and I absolutely love the Alpine White counters we chose. Well here's what it looks like with white cabinets. Hope you find it helpful.

It is Alpine White, your kitchen looks beautiful!!

#3, “the magic number" ;)

My cabinets and island are the same colour as yours. We decided on Benjamin Moore Delaware Putty paint and our granite on the island is Magma and on the counters it is Cambrian. Looks classic and timeless.

I have Cambria counter similar to #2 with similar island choice.

#3 would look best because it matches your dark island color better. And it would be less busy looking than 2. :)

#1

Be really careful about those bold and beautiful Cambria quartz samples. In real life, unless you have a huge kitchen - they are really "busy" and overwhelm the space. Just too much.

I went with Cosmos "ThunderRoad", and I like it. I think the Viaterra Aria, and Rococo are also good choices.

If you consider Cambria Quartz, it is very important to view the entire slab before selecting. The samples do not give you the true since of the quartz's design. We made a trip to their showrooms in Palm Desert, CA to view the slabs before making a selection. We also went to a supplier who handled Pental Quartz before making a final selection. The small samples of manmade quartz look very different in a large format. If you can't view the slab in person, the next best is an internet search of the installed product so you can view the slab installed via a picture.

Good luck and enjoy your new kitchen!!

What do see as the focal point of your planned kitchen? #3, the whole point is to have the counter highly contrast the cabinets. Matching is last century boring.

#2

One has a "whiter" feel, two is the more neutral between the three choices and the third one has more interest, but is the busiest pattern. They would all work in the greater scheme. Just keep studying them and go with the one you are leaning toward. It might help to go to a showroom where you can see larger samples. Post final pics!

#3 is the best for 2 reasons, color and pattern. It's not overpowering

Here's 3 pictures of the floor we liked best today. The picture at the bottom was my inspiration pic. I should have got a better picture of the floor but I was trying to see it next to the cabinet colours and quartz. Thoughts?

Oops it looks like it loaded the same picture 3 times... here's a different look at it.

I like that combo with the floor choice. Looks nice!

I agree with whoever said they all look too busy. I would choose something darker that matched the color of the island and with less of a pattern.

Of your samples I also like #2. Cambria WAS the only American made quartz option -- till just recently -- Now there is also Wilsonart (yes, the old laminate competitor of Formica)!

I just checked wilsonart.com and they show 24 quartz patterns.

2 Looks great

I say pick a less busy pattern and something a bit more original.

Have you seen Ceaserstone Frosty Carrina? Might work very well. You could use it just on the island and use one of the two you have chosen for the rest of the countertops.

#2 is the one I would choose. Looks good without looking "busy."

#2

I like 3. The spatter pops and makes more of a statement imho.

Out of the three you show I would pick # 2. But have another suggestion. I am doing my kitchen right now and originally had selected a quartz like yours in green/grey tones. It was suggested to me why I would pick a quartz that looked like a granite. If you want that look just get granite. But if you want quartz get something closer to a solid look. I picked Lagos Blue Ceasarstone (no blue at all but actually a gorgeous chocolate) and I LOVE it. (My cabinets are white too). Note: this is not my kitchen - I wish!

The 2nd choice looks elegant!
See if you can get a larger piece before you make your decision.

All nice. I chose #2 as my first option & #1 as my second

I think the second one looks the nicest, with your ensemble!

I immediately picked 2! Beautiful! Number three is too "spotty" for me, but for you or someone else it might be their favorite. You've probably done this, but look at pictures of the full slab and have your supplier get you a larger sample of the one you like to see the pattern on a larger surface. I love your selections!

# 2 for me as well!

Being that those appear to be engineered quartz, I strongly suggest that you see a larger piece before committing to either. On a larger scale, the choice becomes much easier. One or perhaps both may seem too busy for you or maybe just right. Good luck.

Really like the movement in #2!!

Hi everyone! I have a new question for our build. My husband and I are having a very difficult time deciding on what colour the light fixtures should be. Since our house is very open concept I think they all need to be one colour. How do we know what will go better with the style of our home? Our taps and kitchen accents are chrome but our door handles are almost black. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

In our new build/open concept I mixed brushed nickel with dark grey (Hubbardton Forge) and black light fixtures, and my kitchen cabinet hardware is an antique pewter look. I didn't mix in chrome because my old house had builders grade chrome fixtures, and oiled bronze seemed out of place for the look I wanted.

If the rest of the color palette of your home is similar to what you have shared about your kitchen, dark bronze would look very rich.

thread is a year old -- they probably made a selection by now! :)

I like #2. Have you checked out Cambria's other new colors? Gallway is one of them.

Pick all the materials. Backsplash will affect you decision, so will floors. I do like two. I would suggest going to see the entire sheet of material before any work is done to counter top material. I have had a few surprises with swirls and veins that may disappoint you in the end. Those little samples do not reflect the real product. I try to stick to neutral counters. You have to live with them a long time.

Old post.

I love the 2nd one, not so busy and looks more elegant than the other two. Flows very nice with your cabinets too!

Just read this old post and finding many of your comments helpful thanks!

I'm sorry; I don't like either.I would look at quartzite. Much more beautiful.
