Cambria’s versatility shines in these featured spaces, where its durability complements the vintage charm of classic aesthetics and also provides a sophisticated backdrop in more modern interiors—solidifying its place as a preferred material for discerning designers and homeowners alike.

Pale pink is emerging as a favored hue for interiors, and designer Gina Drago, embraced it as the ideal backdrop for this sophisticated kitchen. “This is my signature shade,” says Drago, “and it worked really well with the 1933 architecture of the space.” The choice felt serendipitous, as the home’s original doors were painted in a similar color when she acquired the property, which now serves as her design studio. For the countertops and backsplash, Drago opted for Cambria’s Inverness Frost. She was drawn to its understated glamour and subtle, debossed veining. Gold-toned hardware and a vintage-inspired light fixture complete the unexpected but excellent mix of vintage charm and modern refinement.
2. Warm Contemporary

Designers Jen Ziemer and Andréa Dixon of Fiddlehead Design Group created the plan for this new home. “We worked with these clients before ... so we knew their style,” says Ziemer. “They lived in a very traditional home and were ready for something updated.” With their passion for cooking and entertaining, and frequent visits from three college-aged children, the homeowners sought to prioritize comfortable gathering. To achieve this, the design team paired light-stained rift white oak and dark clear alder cabinetry, complemented with Cambria’s Brittanicca countertops and a full-height backsplash. “We decided not to use upper cabinets, which let us continue the Cambria all the way up the walls, for a very clean but dramatic look,” says Dixon.
3. Refined Rustic

When these homeowners were ready to build on 100-plus acres, they enlisted the expertise of the design-build team at Style & Structure. “The clients wanted a modern look, but with plenty of rustic elements to tie the interiors to the beautiful landscape with its wandering deer and flocks of turkeys,” says marketing and project manager Heather Wimberger. The resulting design strikes a harmonious balance where bright white walls and black cabinets define a bold, modern aesthetic while natural wood elements infuse warmth. Cambria’s Everleigh design pulls the vision together. Brand and design manager Lindsey Wojski says, “We all fell in love with Everleigh—and decided to run it up the wall behind the range for a beautiful, streamlined look.”
4. Color Theory
To give this luxurious Ritz-Carlton residence in Philadelphia a kitchen as showstopping as its metropolitan views, acclaimed designer Young Huh embraced the transformative power of color. Glossy navy blue cabinets anchor the open space, while contrasting wood tones add a layer of warmth. Huh topped the island with Cambria’s Hadley design for a visually cohesive effect, then went for high drama on the perimeter counters and backsplash with Cambria’s Rose Bay. “[Rose Bay] is really fun and modern,” says Huh. “And it’s just so easy—the owners had another type of stone in a previous home and just didn’t want the maintenance. This was the perfect choice.”
5. Industrial Vibe

When Chris Van Klei of Detail Homes first connected with these clients, they were living in a downtown loft. The family of four was ready to transition to a home with more outdoor space for their two children, but they didn’t want to leave their city style behind. Van Klei and team responded with a design that exudes an urban attitude in a beautifully natural setting. Choosing Cambria’s Blackbrook in a matte finish for the kitchen island top, perimeter counters, and backsplash perfectly suits the desire for cosmopolitan energy in a family-friendly context. Paired with a mix of painted black and white oak cabinetry, Blackbrook enhances the edgy, contemporary aesthetic the clients love. “They’re definitely not afraid of drama,” says Van Klei. Extending the Blackbrook along a run of cabinets into the dining area creates a visual flow, drawing the eye toward expansive living room windows that frame the home’s view.
