I love anything that sparkles. Shines. Going to replace my granite top with quartz. The sparkle quartz has been around for a long time, wonder if it's "DATED" now? Will it be hard to pick a backsplash so it doesn't clash?

It’s been a year and no scratches, chips or issues at all. If you do a search for hanstone montauk you’ll find a big discussion that I started last year around this time 😂 some lovely pics shared by myself and some others that have fallen in love with this quartz.

I think the cabinets, current floor and gray countertops can work together. However, as there are already 3 colors going on, I would not introduce a blue backsplash. Glass backsplashes are already on the way out where I live, and can be difficult to install without a professional who has done them before. I would suggest a marble tile (there are tons of shapes/patterns to choose from) that will marry the cabinets and counters and your floors will shine.

That's a tough one as the sparkles don't translate in pictures very well. It has been a popular choice in the recent past. More people are going towards larger marbled patterns currently. I personally would like the sparkle in small amounts like for a vanity top or an island.
