Radar: Glitz and Glam
Engineered quartz is on the rise as a popular countertop material.

With the beauty of marble and granite coupled with durability and strength, it makes sense that engineered quartz continues to rise as a popular countertop contender.
“Quartz is quite trendy for kitchen and bath counters, with many colors mimicking the actual look of marble and granite,” says Kevin Nip of Selective Stone. “White and gray tones are popular within the industry.”
Engineered quartz is highly durable — withstanding etching, scratching and staining — and comes in a variety of glamorous hues. Here are our picks for the top choices sporting the latest in kitchen and bath color trends.
