Homeowners can consider plenty of materials for their dining tables, but quartz stands out as a functional and aesthetically superior option. Keep reading to learn more about quartz as a dining table top and why it’s popular among homeowners.

Why Choose Quartz Countertops?

Quartz surfaces are engineered with 93% natural quartz and resins. When you choose expertly manufactured and crafted pieces from reputable companies like Caesarstone, you can take advantage of its features in your kitchen:

Appearance

Quartz countertops elevate the appearance of your spaces. Complementary colors from your floors, cabinets, decor, and other kitchen accessories can create a refreshing look that matches your vision. 

Durability

Quartz has non-porous features, which makes them resistant to water damage and stains. Additionally, their strength makes them resistant to scratches and chipping from kitchen tasks’ regular wear and tear. Choosing quality quartz pieces ensures your countertops or quartz top dining table lasts longer than softer stone materials. 

Low Maintenance

Quartz countertops don’t need resealing or special cleaning products to maintain them. These low-maintenance pieces only require water and regular soap to clean food spills and other debris left during meal prep and cooking. We recommend following the basic tips for maintaining Caesarstone countertops to maintain the quality of your surfaces.

Scratch Resistance

Quartz has a score of 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, which makes it much stronger than stainless steel, which scores around 5.5. This means that quartz pieces used for the kitchen and dining room are resistant to scratches, especially with proper use and maintenance. 

6 Quartz Top Dining Table Ideas for Residential Spaces

See how you can incorporate beautiful quartz pieces into elegant dining spaces. 

1. Small Dining Corner

For homes like apartments and condos that don’t have a lot of space for dining areas (or maybe you’re just not a fan of formal dining settings), a small dining area with a quartz kitchen table is a practical option. A cozy dining nook takes up less space and provides a more intimate setting for yourself or your small household. Play around with the colors of your chairs, upholstery, and furniture to complement the rest of your kitchen setting. 

2. White Quartz Island with Extended Dining Table

Instead of installing a separate dining table, why not go for an island with an extended dining table? An extended dining table gives your kitchen a contemporary but homestyle look and eliminates the need for a separate dining section. Add some beautiful rustic chairs that complement your island chairs, and the dining area is ready. It adds more tabletop space when needed and is a good way to add extra space when a guest drops by for dinner. 

3. Quartz Dining Table Top with Solid Metal Legs

Are you tired of the sight of dining tables with bulky structures? It may be time to consider some more streamlined options. Recently, more and more homeowners have been drawn to dining tables with sleek, modern designs featuring sturdy metal legs. These tables are functional and aesthetically pleasing, particularly when topped with high-quality quartz.

4. Dining Table Top with Wooden Extension

Add a wooden extension to the top of the quartz dining table for a subtle change in appearance. This addition creates an appealing and unique touch to your kitchen and can become the area’s focal point. To complete the look, select chairs with matching covers that complement the color of the dining table top.

5. White Quartz Paradise

Transform your dining area into a snow-white wonderland with ease. If you enjoy extravagant interior decor, you should consider a white dining table with a quartz top for dramatic flair. 

Caesarstone’s 9141 Ice Snow perfectly complements this theme, especially with contrasting dark features around the kitchen. Upgrade your lighting, cabinet metal fixtures, or decor for the best results and to add more elegance to the space.

6. Quartz Dining Table with Wooden Support

Wood is a classic material that complements any decor style. Use wood as a supporting element for your dining table’s quartz top for aesthetically pleasing results. Combining wood and quartz is especially striking, and incorporating a few wooden chairs into the dining area can create a cozy, rustic atmosphere.

Cleaning Your Quartz Top Dining Table

Although quartz is durable, proper maintenance and care are essential to keep it from wearing out. Here are some tips to keep your surfaces in good condition:

Daily Cleaning

There are several advantages of using quartz, such as its ability to resist water damage and cracking from heat. However, it’s not indestructible, especially when neglected and used improperly. After every meal, use a dry cloth to wipe off all the residue from the surface. Avoid placing a hot pot or pan directly on top of the quartz surface, and use a trivet to minimize heat exposure. 

Special Cleaning

Apart from regular countertop cleaning after meals, special cleaning may be used for dried food spills or stubborn spots. Remove all the items on top of your surface and apply a mixture of mild liquid soap and water on the dirt. Use a damp cloth to wipe away the debris, and then use a clean, dry cloth to remove any remaining liquid.

Key Takeaway

These are some ways homeowners can create innovative dining setups using quartz countertops. You don’t have to stick with traditional tables when you can find creative ways to achieve your vision.
