Quartz is most commonly associated with kitchen countertops. However, many homeowners are now using quartz slabs in other areas of the home.  From shower walls to fireplace surrounds and statement accent walls, quartz offers a clean and continuous surface that extends beyond the kitchen. If you are considering quartz shower walls or a slab fireplace surround, understanding how quartz performs in these applications can help you decide if it fits your project. At Freedom Cabinets, we sell quartz countertops and slab surfaces from MSI, Cambria Quartz, ENVI, and LaVenta Quartz. Many of these slabs can also be used in vertical applications throughout the home. Let’s explore where quartz works well outside the kitchen.

Walking into a showroom and seeing dozens of quartz samples at once can feel overwhelming. White with gray veining. Soft beige. Bold charcoal. Subtle movement. Dramatic patterns. Many homeowners quickly realize that choosing quartz countertop color is not as simple as picking the first slab that catches their eye. If you are wondering how to narrow down quartz countertop colors in a showroom, the key is approaching the process step by step. At Freedom Cabinets, we offer quartz countertops from MSI, Cambria Quartz, ENVI, and LaVenta Quartz. Seeing these options in person helps you compare tone, pattern, and finish more accurately than online images.  Here is how to make the process easier.
