LG Minuet or Silestone Calacatta Gold Quartz?

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

Need help deciding between LG Minuet quartz and Silestone Calcatta Gold countertops for our kitchen. It is a relatively small kitchen with Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee colored cabinets, and we are planning to use a white subway tile as the backsplash. I know the Calcatta Gold will create an all white kitchen, which I am not opposed to as it might help the kitchen appear larger, but am just having the hardest time deciding between the two options as I like them both! Any help is appreciated!

We are currently remodeling our kitchen. Installing bright white shaker cabinets, and chose Silestone Calacatta Gold. I think I looked at every quartz option out there...I was driving myself crazy. I didn't wan't anything too bold, or too busy, or too dark. I like that it reads more "white" from a distance, and you notice the lighter veining once closer. We will be using a light gray matte finish back splash tile, champagne bronze pulls, and lighter wood look vinyl plank flooring. Still nervous about how it will all look once completed, since we're piecing it all together...but we'll see soon!

You'd have to see them in person with your lighting in your room to make a determination. It's difficult enough with photos on a computer monitor, but without photos, and from just a description, it would be a shot in the dark.

LG Minuet Quartz Question

Hello, I'm thinking about possibly using either LG Minuet Quartz or the Ceaserstone Calacatta Nuvo for my Kitchen Counters. I'm looking for more of a white/grey quartz and I can't tell from the pictures that I've seen if the LG quartz has blue lines going through it or if they're more grey? Does anyone know the exact colors for it? I'm waiting on the sample of it but I have White cabinets, grey walls and black kitchen cabinet hardware so I just want to make sure it will go well in the kitchen. Thank you

We just had our LG Muse installed today. We also have light gray cabinets. (They were cherry, spent the summer sanding, sanding, sanding.) The kitchen isn't done (still need to hang floating shelves and put some subway tile in.... but, I LOVE the quartz. It took me a long time to pick out this quartz, and in the end, I liked the brightness and the subtlety-- I don't feel like it will become dated looking. I don't think I got many close ups, but here is a pic I took after install.

did you consider suede or go with the glossy... in general like more matte but wondering since no natural stone in kitchen, and a wood island that it will look too flat. Thanks for any info!
