Bright & Elegant Kitchen Update in Somerset
Location: Taunton, Somerset
Project: Kitchen refresh with quartz overlay worktops
Customer: Mrs Franklin
Overview
Mrs Franklin’s Somerset kitchen still had a solid layout, but the old wooden counters felt heavy and made the room darker than it needed to be. She wanted a brighter, more contemporary finish without replacing the entire kitchen. Quartzize provided the perfect solution — a simple, refined before-and-after refresh that upgraded the surfaces while keeping the existing units.
What Changed
- Worktops: With a light-reflecting surface, Installed White Sparkle Quartz overlay worktops, instantly lifting the kitchen. The subtle sparkle adds elegance while ensuring long-lasting durability and easy cleaning.
- Cabinet Doors: Retained the existing timeless shaker doors, freshly finished in a soft grey tone to complement the brightness of the quartz.
- Finishing Touches: The contrast of contemporary quartz with traditional cabinetry creates a timeless blend of contemporary style and homely warmth.
