Cambria Style Fall Trend Report

Dimensional Design

Designer Elizabeth Welsh of Sustainable 9 Design + Build was asked to make this living room fireplace fit the homeowner’s modern design tastes while also hearkening back to their prior, historic home. Welsh also wanted a material departure from both the house exterior’s stone grid and kitchen’s high-contrast countertop. 

The answer is this reeded fireplace surround, intricately constructed of individually fabricated pieces of Cambria. “With a reeded design, we didn’t want a quartz selection that had too bold of a vein, as the pattern would never truly align across each reed,” says Welsh. “Colton has movement, but it’s subtle and soft, which worked.” 

Moody Muse

Designers Kai Morman and Robin Goeke enjoy working together on projects such as this model property for Pacific Lifestyle Homes and are always looking for special elements to inspire a space. “I fell in love with the Remington Brass,” says Goeke of its mix of brown, charcoal, and metal alloy shine. “It’s the perfect combination of masculine and classy.”

This Cambria quartz design set a color palette that permeated that home, prompting them to create other moments to match its mix of moodiness and metal. “It is warm, it’s moody, but it’s cozy and it’s elevated,” says Morman.

Cohesive Layers

A pair of sisters reached out to designer Donyea Tollie of Rejuvenation Home to help create a dream modern colonial for their parents as they headed toward retirement. Their mom told Tollie she wanted this powder room to be a place where she could get lost. Tollie’s solution was a space appointed with layers of impactful design choices including wainscoting, iridescent wallpaper, and a mirror vignette of her own design. 

Cambria’s Clovelly quartz design added a calming contrast to the mix. “I love the juxtaposition in the room,” notes Tollie. “This bold, bright color with this subtle countertop design on this really masculine vanity.”

Bold Moves

When designer Lucinda Loya was asked for an “over-the-top fabulous” kitchen for a growing family of six, she knew it was no time for shy design. “We started with the bold pattern of Cambria’s Rose Bay, which serves as a strong visual texture,” says Loya. “Its intricate black-and-white veining is quite dramatic, so we introduced a similarly scaled, textured wallpaper that could hold its own while still feeling harmonious.” 

She then created counterpoints using warm elements such as the color chartreuse and brass finishes on fixtures. Loya says, “I am very comfortable taking bold design risks, and I encourage my clients to do the same.”

After a dishwasher incident necessitated a surprise kitchen remodel, designer Whitney Nelson of Granite State Cabinetry dramatically reimagined the space with a design prominently featuring the color blue. “I find the blue family to be neutral in the design world because it pairs so nicely,” says Nelson. 

She ensured balance by selecting a dominant color, secondary color, and an accent color. “In this case it was the navy, then the walnut, and the stony canvas color from the base of the Windsor Brass Satin Ridge quartz design.” Nelson notes how the Cambria design’s veining also nods to the walnut cabinets and range hood details, while its brass flecks tie in to the hardware finishes.
