Quartz is one of the best choices you can make for your dining table. Not only is quartz aesthetically stunning and gives a luxurious look to the space, but it is also durable, stain-resistant, non-porous, scratch-resistant, chip-resistant, heat-resistant, and non-flammable.
Traditionally, most dining room tables are made of wood, and while wood has many positive attributes, it isn’t always the best choice. If you do a lot of entertaining, a wooden table can be hard to maintain. If you have small children, you may need to worry about spills, scratches, and stains. And if you have a more contemporary home, a wood table may not be the best match for the rest of your décor.
The Benefits of Quartz Table Tops
Quartz has become one of the most popular choices for countertops in recent years—and it’s easy to see why. It’s strong, easy to care for, and holds up well in busy kitchens. It doesn’t scratch, stain, or chip easily, making it perfect for everyday use.
The same benefits apply when quartz is used for dining tables. Whether it’s used daily or for special gatherings, the table will keep looking great for years, even if a little wine gets spilled. There’s no need for special cleaners or constant upkeep, which makes it a great choice for busy homes and people who love hosting guests.
Quartz also looks great. It comes in many colors and patterns, including ones that look just like marble. So, you can get that classy, elegant look, without all the extra care that real marble needs.
Why Use Quartz Stone for Your Dining Table
Due to its properties, it is commonly utilised to make premium kitchen countertops, tabletops, flooring, and bathroom features. The Universal Quartz installation team has installed thousands of these quartz countertops over the last few years. You can view our latest projects here.
This stone’s beautiful aesthetics are emphasised by naturally occurring motion and colour, as well as less veining than marble, making it as attractive in visual appeal but more advantageous in functionality.
Not only is quartz stone a great investment that will last for years, but it can also increase the value of your home. Quartz tabletops add a touch of glitz and make your dining area appear higher-end.
Quartz Kitchen Table Design Ideas
1. Open Floor Plan Island
If your kitchen and dining room share the same space, think about adding a large island that can also work as your dining table. This not only helps separate the two areas but also gives you more storage and counter space.
To make it work, just make sure the countertop extends far enough on at least two sides so people can sit comfortably. For an extra design touch, you can use a different color or pattern on the island top to make it stand out from the rest of the counters.
2. Waterfall Edge
If you don’t normally seat someone at the “head” of the table, consider creating a unique statement by utilizing the quartz to create a waterfall edge on one or two sides. A waterfall is made by piecing together two sections of quartz so that they change direction and “flow” down the side. When using a quartz slab like this one to resemble marble, it makes a very elegant and formal setting.
3. Island Extension
If your kitchen is the main gathering and eating place for the family, consider simply extending your island with a table that has a matching quartz top. In this setup, family and guests sit at the island or the table, doubling the number of seats. Because the two tops match, it gives a lot of unity and cohesiveness to the design, while adding function at the same time. The different heights of the island and table help to break things up and add depth to the room.
4. Table in Place of an Island
Many people think that if you want extra countertop and seating space in the kitchen, you need an island, but that isn’t always true. If seating is the priority, and you don’t have an adjoining dining area, consider using a quartz dining table in place of the island. You get the same cohesive look from the countertop as an island would give you, but more versatility in terms of accommodating people with seating.
