Exposed brick walls and concrete screed flooring lend an edgy or industrial-chic look to a home. However, many homeowners who like this style choose not to use materials like these in wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms, due to their porous properties. The solution: Quartz countertops. Non-porous and resistant to heat and mould, quartz can be engineered to feature raw- and distressed-look finishes, and even look like marble.

Have you seen a raw-like countertop design with a blush undertone? The 4023 Topus Concrete, one of Caesarstone’s latest additions to its Metropolitan Collection, offers an industrial look that’s softened with a more organic hue, giving the space a cosier feel. As its name suggests, the Metropolitan collection is specially designed for urban spaces, combining textural, concrete-like surfaces with unpolished matte colours.

4023 Topus Concrete is inspired by fossil textures and mineral formations; the rugged patina conveys a sense of depth, while the hint of warm pink is a nod to the interior design industry’s love for timeless pastel hues. This option is ideal for bathrooms with a contemporary style. To complement it, go for wooden shelving and/or decking with a natural finish.

The 4044 Airy Concrete is another example of Caesarstone’s cutting-edge technology, which gives the Metropolitan Collection’s quartz countertops an authentic-looking weathered finish, much like the patina on concrete, metal and stone that develops naturally over time. Create a statement by using this surface on both walls and countertops, and contrast it with black fixtures for a stunning effect.

The 4044 Airy Concrete has a light grey base, and features a true feel of concrete. This was achieved without compromising the benefits of Caesarstone’s quartz, which discourages the growth of mould and bacteria and is stain- and scratch-resistant.

Just like concrete, marble finishes are also a favourite for bathrooms and kitchens. 6338 Woodlands, a new design in the Supernatural Collection by Caesarstone, is a hardier alternative to delicate marble that is equally beautiful.

And, as all Caesarstone products come with a 10-year warranty, you can be assured of its durability, too!
