Calacatta with its white base and strong veining is suddenly a go-to for high-end, luxurious kitchens Those surfaces, combined with the dramatic look of the Veil kitchen by Brizo® make this an excellent match for a backsplash that takes an ordinary kitchen and gives it that new kitchen look. In this article I break down a few of the more extravagant Calacatta quartz backsplash ideas that are not only aesthetic but also serve a good utility purpose to help you to choose the best for your kitchen.
Full-Height Backsplash
The stunning way of using Calacatta quartz in your kitchen is installing a full-height backsplash that covers the entire wall space from the countertop to the top cabinets. This method helps the cabinets look aligned seamlessly; thereby emphasizing the spaciousness of the kitchen and at the same time making way for the bold pattern of the Calacatta quartz. Once again, the continuous pattern draws the eye, making the kitchen seem more cohesive.
Waterfall Edge Island Backsplash -
A waterfall edge on your kitchen island, where the Calacatta quartz is wrapping from the top of the countertop to 90 degrees downward getting to the floor, would also be a perfect match for your backsplash keeping your design consistent and right on track. It makes the kitchen look visually seamless and gives a contemporary twist to it. In larger, open-plan kitchens whereby the island is a central feature, the waterfall effect as it has now come to be known water feature is particularly powerful.
Mixed Material Elegance
Alternatively use it with other types of materials such as glass, metal, or traditional tiles to get that more balanced, cool, eclectic design. For example, Calacatta quartz could work as the primary backsplash material with a glass tile or brushed metal border to give it a more modern character. A mix of textures and materials can make the backsplash blend in and stand out all at the same time, creating texture and complexity in the visual plane.
LED-Lit Backsplash
Lighting can take a Calacatta quartz backsplash to a whole new level of opulence. LED strip lighting installed at the bottom of the cabinets to illuminate the quartz backsplash can make the veining featured in the stone really pop, especially at night. Not only does this show off the beauty of the quartz, it also give ambient light to the kitchen making the atmosphere and function of the kitchen to be rocking!
Pattern Play
Calacatta quartz is popular for its thick veining that can be manipulated for aesthetic patterns. It can even be used to create what looks like a cohesive design from slab to slab, with vein match-connecting up the backsplash that you can eye in once single view, almost as a painting. Though this involves a little more precise cutting and laying, it can lend a truly original look to a kitchen, as a focal-point backsplash.
