Cambria Style 2025 Fall Trend Report

Earthy color palettes and vertical quartz applications top today’s trends in interior design. See how five designers from across North America personalize their clients’ spaces with fresh takes and long-lasting materials.

Match Maker

Designers are using bookmatching—setting two pieces of stone side by side to create a mirror effect—to produce a powerful visual impact. For example, when Susan Semmelmann of Semmelmann Interiors had clients who wanted drama in their living room, she transformed their floor-to-ceiling fireplace by surrounding it with bookmatched polished Cambria Southport. Semmelmann emphasizes the symmetrical effect with parallel insets of aged brass that invite the eye upward through the gently undulating quartz design.

Going Green

In transforming this duplex condo, Mark Schubert of M2 Design Lab wanted to give his clients something more elevated than a white kitchen. For the cabinets, the nature lovers chose a rich green—a color that happens to be trending in kitchen design. “We decided to do a split finish where the lowers are stained almost chocolate brown, which really helps ground the space,” Schubert says. With green above and brown below, Schubert suggested Cambria’s creamy Colton for the countertop and backsplash. Schubert then pushed for further contrast with a dark Cambria quartz design on the island with a waterfall edge for a more contemporary look.

Coastal Casual Luxury

When Josée Lalonde and Melanie Henson of Jōmel Interior Design took on this British Columbia penthouse project, it came with the amazing view opposite a blank wall. So, the designers set out to call the eye with a focus on a fireplace clad in Cambria’s Brittanicca Gold Warm design. The homeowners are from Winnipeg, so these design elements—wood, metal, stone—bring in a West Coast style. “Around the fireplace, we curved the stone; then we curved the slatted wood, as well,” Lalonde notes—accentuating other organic shapes in the furnishings. The duo added more Cambria for contrast in behind some wall shelves. Lalonde says “Don’t be afraid to use it pretty much anywhere. That’s the trend.”

Club-Style Ambience

When you’re in the mood to trade nights out for entertaining at home, that calls for sleek home bar spaces that capture the energy of being out on the town. That’s what designer Michael Abrams of Abrams Valenti delivered by transforming this terrace-adjacent penthouse space into the ultimate karaoke lounge. Inspired by a Japanese whiskey bar in Chicago, Abrams shaped the space to deliver both nostalgic mid-century modern cool along with visually alluring textures like a slatted wood on the wall and rich grass cloth on the bar front. For the bar and an integrated sink, Abrams chose Cambria’s sophisticated Blackbrook, which complements the room’s symphony of textures.

Functional Serenity

In transforming a Pasadena townhouse, designer Liad Schwartz was tasked with making the most of a small, irregularly shaped kitchen. One way he accomplished this was incorporating curves—as with the rounded edge of the Cambria-topped island—to lend a trendy Japandi sense of softness. He also kept the space feeling light and bright with the Inverness Everleigh quartz design, with its mix of cool gray and warm sand tones, through the backsplash, where it meets more curves at the range hood and decorative sconces. Schwartz says the clients loved the Cambria not only because they wanted a material that would stay pristine over time but also because of this design’s debossed veining, which delivers fingertip pleasing texture with every touch.
