Why it is trending

Houzz's 2026 forecast names quartzite next to marble for counters with soft, organic veining: the choice for homes that cook a lot.

How to get the look

  1. 1True quartzite does not etch: ask for a lemon test on a sample.
  2. 2Patagonia is the dramatic end; Taj Mahal quartzite the calm, creamy one.
  3. 3It is harder to cut, so fabrication costs more than marble.
