2/ Wilsonart’s black “Vesuvia” quartz (coming in May) is a trend-forward palette that allows for mixing and layering with other quartz. This “material mixology” lends texture and richness to a space that’s perfectly coordinated and beautifully designed. Ridout Lumber Co., ridoutlumber.com
3/ Inspired by natural stone, Dekton’s “Tundra” offers a marble-like appearance created by a white background covered with gray veins across the slab.
