Calacatta quartz is a type of white luxury quartz with a white background and dramatic streaks. It is a modern stone that features in high-end classical designs, especially Victorian designs. It offers a unique opportunity to include Victorian-style detailing using elements such as minimalist kitchen cabinets and contemporary lighting. In a San Francisco renovation, a designer used Calacatta quartz countertops to give an old kitchen a new look. The designer was able to increase the room’s lighting efficiency by 70% and the counter space by 30%. The renovation shows that aesthetic factors may coincide with practical benefits. The key takeaway is that classic elements of design do not necessarily mean inconvenience.
