Will a grey quartz counter top work in this bathroom Reno?

8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago

Good afternoon. We are almost done with our guest bathroom renovation. All we need is the countertop. We kept the existing tub and tub tile, and big mirror. Changed everything else. We planned to install grey quartz on the vanity. We picked this because it's what we planned to use in our master bathroom reno and just ordered extra. We were hoping the new tile would tie in the existing bath tile to the grey quartz, but now I'm not too sure.


Here is what we planned to install:

But think this may look better:

Thoughts?

    As long as the gray matches a color in the floor .

    any other opinions?

    I like the grey - looks like it works with the floor tile (on my screen anyway).

    It works with the floor tile, but does it work with th tub tile? See the last picture, in the mirror reflection, or the second picture on the right ?

    Maybe

    Yeah. I just don’t know if the other options would match better

    I say go for it! I like it. The cabinets are white so it will give it a nice pop!

    The grey quartz is already purchased. We are for sure going to use the pebble creek in our master bathroom. Redoing the second bathroom was just an afterthought. When it started coming together is when we realized something else may work in this space. I’m not even sure I can exchange the quartz for something else. But just in case they let me, I wanted the opinion of others what I should get

    I can't tell without seeing the actual quartz IN the picture with the tile.

    winter white is too pink,,so no. can't you take a sample of your flooring and paint color into the countertop place to see how they look? if the gray is the same tone, it will work. if not, the icelandic one would be fine.

    I would also change the lighting to cooler temperature bulbs. something in the 4000-5000 range.

    Have you thought about Caesarstone concrete quartz? There are both dark and light options.

    I think white countertops would look fabulous, clean, and modern.

    I love it with the floor. What is going up for the shower? A curtain or glass? I have a similar situation and for the time being put up a texture white cloth curtain with a really nice cloth liner. Not the filmy plastic type.
    It's been a few years now there is no 'time being' since it looks great.

    Absolutely, without question, do NOT do gray counter tops. People stop decorating with gray. It is a trend, it is way over used and it is time stamping your house to make it date much faster. Not only that, bathrooms (and kitchens, too) need to look clean, and gray is not a "clean" color. I would pick a light, white-ish color. I prefer something with a little more visual interest than plain white, but your floor tile is pretty busy, so you're going to have to weigh it out against that.

    Pebble Creek looks fine. It's a guest bath and a different top will cost you at least $1000, even a remnant. You'd be better off putting that money toward new bath tile because that gold color is not working with the floor tile. Why didn't you change that?
