I vastly prefer the granite - the quartz looks quite dingy next to the white cabs, IMO. Will you be able to choose your own slabs for the granite? If so, you should be able to find a slab with more/less warm tones in it as you prefer.

No unfortunately we don’t get to choose our own :( this was the least “busy” granite choice I found in the selection. Also the next upgrade up is to “white ice” which is a bit warmer but also several thousand more, which is a bit too steep for our budget right now.

Based on those photos, I too prefer the granite -- it lends some pizazz to the white cabinets, the quartz is just so...blah, and on my monitor the color of the quartz also somehow looks off. But, without being able to pick the granite slab yourself what you get could look a heck of a lot different than the photo you have. Darker countertop would be a lot easier than trying to "match" or coordinate whites for a space you do not yet inhabit. I think dark countertops on white cabinets look terrific -- have you thought of a charcoal grey or black?

Is the fourth photo a picture of the quartz slab? If so, prefer the granite. That quartz doesn’t seem to work with your floors.

That granite has more visual interest going on than that plain quartz.

You want your counter and your cabinet color to work nicely together. Take off one of the cabinet doors and take it to the stone shop to see which stone looks best with the paint. The store may have fluorescent lighting which can affect the appearance, but may have a sample piece you can look at under incandescent lighting.

I prefer the granite.

I have white cabinets, natural oak floors, stainless appliances. I chose a black quartz with teeny tiny white a flecks and just a bit of sparkle for depth. I was advised against black by some because it shows dust?.? I don’t have that problem. Love my combo!

This is a no brainer IMO granite polished is pretty close to bullet proof and a heck of a lot nicer than fake stone always.I do agree sample need to be looked at in your space with the proper LED lighting in 4000K Waht is being done with the flooring in the kitchen that does not work with either choice.Remove the drapes please they can’t stay anyway.

Granite. Lots of new home building companies give you very few choices, but the granite is better. Love your wood floor choice! Patricia: her kitchen will be wood flooring.

I like the granite much more than the quartz. Can you at least see the slab they will be using in your house?

This is the actual slabs. Thank you all so much for your advice so far!

This is a big investment. If you truly don’t love either, I would find a way to cut corners elsewhere.

The kitchen is the main event in a home. If other more expensive choices are more to your liking, I would seriously consider making it happen.

I just did Silestone Calcutta with my white kitchen. There doesn’t seem to be too much going on with the white silk.

But, if you choose that one, can you have free rein on the backsplash? Then that can be the star if the kitchen.
