A Striking Calacatta Viola Quartz Kitchen and Bathroom with Bold Character
This distinctive project for Emilia Hartwell in Southampton features Calacatta Viola quartz, chosen for its dramatic veining and statement appearance. With its crisp light background and bold dark, flowing veins, the surface brings a luxurious and highly decorative finish to both the kitchen and bathroom spaces. Paired with rich dark wood cabinetry, soft cream wall units and brushed brass fixtures, the quartz becomes the standout feature of the overall design.
In the kitchen, the quartz has been installed across the main worktop runs, the full-height splashback and the central island, creating a bold and cohesive look throughout the space. The waterfall-style island frontage adds extra visual impact, while the strong patterning of these statement quartz worktops gives the room a bespoke and contemporary feel. The mix of dark timber, brass accents and the eye-catching veined surface creates a refined contrast that feels both elegant and modern.
The same Calacatta Viola quartz continues into the bathroom vanity area, where it has been used for the double-sink worktop and matching splashback. This helps tie the whole project together while giving the bathroom a luxurious finish that complements the warm wood vanity and brass fittings. Altogether, this is a beautiful example of quartz surfaces in Southampton used to create a bold, high-end interior across more than one room.
