Hi Clara, I LOVE your choice. Quartz is the most durable and maintenance free product you can use for counter tops. It won't stain or burn or discolor, it's basically indestructible AND very beautiful. Best of Luck. Jerome DeMarco ART.chitecture

The Viatera soprano quartz color is neutral and classic. Quartz has advantages for it's durability: it won't chip or crack as easily. It is also not as porous as marble. If your kitchen is dark this lighter quartz is a great option as it will reflect light in your space and make a nice contrast to the darker cabinets. I like it, it looks timeless. Would love to know what type of floors you have, this will effect the combination as well. Are planing on placing the quartz as your back splash as well? It would look very elegant.

I would love to use it as a backsplash but it is too pricey. I like it also because it seems timeless and elegant. Its' beauty stands up strong to the oak cabinets which is what I desire - I did not want a piece that was consumed and overpowered by the cabinets. The combination reminds me of a beautiful piece of furniture.......... Indeed, now my next dilemma is the backsplash. I don't want too much action - the heavy veining in the cabinets is enough action for me. So I will do something minimal that hopefully enhances the beauty of the Soprano.

In the past oak wash stands were often topped with marble and it was a very good look:) Your quartz choice is lovely.

I went with LG Viatera White Pearl which has a little more movement. Here is my backsplash. I wanted something subtle that would not cause any more movement as both countertop and cabinets have movement:

I considered white. T figure out which way to go I painted part of the backsplash area white and part cream and found for my cabinet tone, cream worked best.

I like it! It looks like a white marble look alike quartz but has some copper veining in it to pick up on the colors of your oak cabinets. Keep us updated...everyone loves an oak update:) Is the background of the quartz white or cream? It looks so much more cream in pictures online...

The background of the quartz to me looks more cream which is what I want - it is a color predominant in my home. I like the classic look of it with the cabinets.

Also the copper veining matches the cabinets.

Very pretty kclara, go for it!

Did you go for it? I am deciding between LG Soprano and Caesarstone Stauario Nuvo and would love to see pictures of it installed if you have any.

I love LG Soprano too and now going for it in my kitchen, laundry, and powder room all within the same area of the house.

diyher and jmhb please post pictures of LG Soprano counters
