Absolutely — and it’s actually one of the biggest design trends we’re seeing this year. Mixing countertop materials isn’t just okay — it’s smart. It allows you to combine the beauty of natural stone with the practicality of engineered surfaces. For example, pairing granite on your island with quartz along the perimeter can give your kitchen both elegance and function.
At GMQ Tops, we often recommend this approach to clients who want a space that stands out. It’s also a great way to highlight different zones in an open-concept kitchen. You can go for a bold stone like New Caledonia on the island to make it a focal point, while keeping the surrounding surfaces more neutral.
Plus, combining materials is a budget-friendly option. Want a premium stone but don’t want to use it across the entire kitchen? Use it where it matters most, and balance it with a more affordable option. We’ll help you plan it out so your kitchen feels cohesive, not chaotic.
