What combination of vanity and quartz top do you recommend?
Hi guys,
I'm losing my mind choosing the material for a MB remodel. Please help me out. I have two questions:
1. which quartz/vanity combination works best with the carrara porcelain tiles?
2. For the shower floor, the only mosaic tiles that I can find that really match the porcelain are made of marble. I'd rather go all porcelain for maintenance reasons. It's a small 9x5 bathroom so I wanted to keep everything the same color. Is there any alternative mosaic hexagon colors I should look into that doesn't have a contrast?
The floors and walls will be porcelain that looks like carrara marble (all matte finish). See pic:
I haven't purchased the vanity yet, but the choices are white, gray, or light gray. See pic of the color choices:
For the countertop, I am getting a really good deal on some caeserstone/silestone. The choices are as follows:
Caeserstone-Georgian Bluffs:

Don't know the names of other two (they have a layer of dust on them):
My favorite is white cabinet + the gray top. But I fear it will be on the darker side. Can I please get some input?
Thanks for all the help!

What do you think of these color combinations?
Comments (6)I LIKE your selections! They are beautiful together - especially the blue/gray color chips with the granite. Please share details of the granite and the color chips. Also, is that lagos blue engineered stone on top of the white dove sample or is that a paint sample for brown perimeter cabinets?...See MoreHow far would you go on this update? What do you recommend?
Comments (17)$30k is an insane cost for a bathroom so small. Even paying a contractor to do the work with modest finishes, but good quality, will run between $8k and $12k. Especially if the fixtures stay in the same location and only get exchanged for new. An architect is always a good investment. An architect will help you with design ideas, can curate material, fixture and finish choices based on your tastes and can oversee the work being done by the contractor to ensure that everything is done properly, up to code, and according to design. The average homeowner is not equipped to adequately oversee a contractor's work. I've had so many clients come to me after a botched renovation because they didn't understand the contractor was taking short cuts and it cost them thousands more to fix. All time and money that would have been saved had they had a professional licensed architect working for them and protecting their interests. Classic Comfort, de nada. You're very welcome. I'll send you a private message here shortly. Thank you....See MoreDoes anyone use Lysol Tub & Tile cleaner on Quartz Vanity top?
Comments (4)Lysol is HIGHLY ACIDIC - pH 1-2 which is the top of the scale. You should only ever use a specialised pH neutral cleaner designed for quartz. This particular product will remove any issues without damage or fear of doing the wrong thing. Caesarstone does recommend to use Soft Scrub with Bleach, though they also recommend and in the warranty information. NOT TO USE BLEACH or anything that is over pH 7.5 which this product is. Soft Scrub not only contains an abrasive that will Dull the surface gloss over time but as the same pH as Oven Cleaner! Also the third ingredient is also listed by Caesarstone AS A BIG NO! NO! and voids the warranties. ALL MAJOR MANUFACTURES list Sodium hypochlorite as a chemical to avoid, it will damage the surface finish and will void the warranties. I think that Caesarstone should revisit their care and maintenance instructions. Given that using their own recommended products VOID their own Warranties..... so what happen when you do claim on the warranty?? http://www.caesarstoneus.com/media/34059/caesarstone_countertop_care.pdf Under the warranty information use of this product WOULD VOID THE WARRANTY!...See MoreVanity Top Granite or Quartz Suggestions
Comments (5)My daughter used marble look porcelain tiles in her hall bathroom. Her vanity color was called pearl but it actually is a light grey. For her countertop she found a remnant of Hanstone Quartz called Black Pear. Here’s how it looks overall Her tub area is opposite the vanity. Here’s a bit out of focus picture of it Since your vanity looks whiter you might want to use a medium grey. Your walls could then be a lighter grey. Hanstone Quartz has a quite a few greys. I like the two below Or check Cambria’s colors. The one below is Fieldstone. Described as “Resembling the weather-beaten fieldstone walls that ramble through the English countryside, this striking shade of slate gray is an impactful neutral that is true and timeless” They have one with a little sparkle in it called Minera with this description: “Luminous shades of gunmetal, steel and pewter sparkle like precious metals taken from the Minera Mines in the mystical land of Wales”. Here is one more of the many out there that might work. Cambria’s website says it’s “intriguing design is a fascinating study in contrasts as blacks and whites meld together to form a remarkably complex shade of gray”. It’s called Talbot Gray. Good luck on finding the right countertop for your new bathroom....See More

5 years agoWould you ever do a wood vanity to add warmth?
We are doing something similar with the maison vanity from RH and start white quartz top. But in your case, I see that huge piece of white stone. That may go well?
This vanity also comes in an antique gray color (which pulls both cool and warm tones). That is the color I am going with.
Otherwise, if you are deadset with the vanity cabinet choices in your photo, I would go with the one on the far left of the white.

5 years agoIf you want to do a wood vanity to add warmth, go with cherry wood or maple with a finish that has more red tones. Natural or lightly stained cherry has pinky tones that come across more red after finishing. It also has depth and the grain has more definition than cherry-stained maple. The finish in Diana's photo is more of a flat chestnut color
