Quartz countertop update for kitchen

5 years ago

Hi Houzzers!

I need to update my quartz countertops and back splash - I want it updated but not modern. I need to keep the cherry cabinets and the tile flooring (it could possibly be regrouted). The cabinets are warm but the flooring is off white with streaks of gray. I want something light with both warm and cool tones - like Cambria Seacourt. I also need a backsplash to blend in, but I don't want glass. I have attached pictures of the flooring and the cabinets. Also, any suggestions for updated knobs would be helpful (the current ones are shiny brass.)

Many thanks for any suggestions!!

The Corian counters can be renewed easily. Do that. They are a fine choice. The floors are the larger issue. Try a grout stain to lighten the grout to a background color in the tile. If that doesn’t work, then they should be replaced. Brass is back, so the knobs can stay. Maybe think about a brass faucet to work with them.

Your whole look is classic, and is once again rising in popularity. There isn’t much to change, frankly.

can you change the floors? They look a bit more dated than the counters

Unfortunately no, but the grout color can be changed. The counters have a number of cut marks otherwise I would leave them as is.

Change counters to black, change the knobs, larger, then the floors won’t look so dated. The cabinets will look eve warmer. Enjoy,

I would avoid Seacourt. Our slabs just came in. There is an ugly brown mark on one of the slabs that looks like a swipe of a thick marker. The fabricator thinks it is resin pooling. On a primarily white quartz slab, it is very unattractive. We are immensely disappointed in Cambria.

Julianna, did you end up going with Cambria Seacourt? I am leaning toward that for my remodel but haven't found much in the way of reviews other than Beach Girl's poor experience.
