As a design lover with a passion for breathing new life into every space, I’ve learned this truth time and again: high-quality materials matter. The function, aesthetic beauty, and utilitarian ease they offer a home is absolutely game changing. And for more than a decade, I’ve used Caesarstone countertops in every one of my design projects. Below, I’m sharing more on why I continue to look to the quartz countertop pioneer.

A Beautiful Workhouse
In considering a home’s functionality, the countertops are the quiet heroes. Think of our daily acts, from meal prep to sipping coffee. It’s the foundational slabs that provide the canvas for whatever our time in the kitchen brings. Even more so, I see countertops as the key that brings a kitchen together—which is why it was one of the first decisions I made at the start of my Malibu home renovation.
Whether you choose a simple countertop that blends into the environment or one that makes a bold statement, it’s an element that impacts not only the look of the kitchen but also how you live day-to-day.
Superior Strength
It was these reasons—durability, aesthetics, and reliability—that led me to choose Caesarstone for my coastal California home. Caesarstone pioneered the Quartz surface more than 30 years ago. In the decades following, the company’s countertops, which more recently also include innovative porcelain, have caught the attention of countless design minds for their luxurious look and ability to last a lifetime.
“Not only are these surfaces design-forward with robust patterns with rich colors, but their superior strength also sets them apart,” says Lori Shapiro, Public Relations Manager for Caesarstone North America.
Honoring the Earth
With every decision I’ve made for the Malibu renovation, sustainability has been top of mind. How do this product and its maker consider the earth and all stakeholders? This question is at Caesarstone’s core. “It all starts with the earth’s raw minerals and keeping a focus on human responsibility,” says Shapiro.
“The journey begins with responsible sourcing to maximize our sustainable footprint. Then, throughout the production process, we make sure our factories meet strict environmental guidelines and recycling practices.”
Extending this ethos is the element of beauty. As I’ve honed in on all materials for my Malibu renovation, I’ve looked to tones and colors that complement the surrounding landscape. And Caesarstone’s wide assortment of calming, neutral hues works perfectly within my overall palette.
My Top Caesarstone Picks
As I considered various samples from Caesarstone, I laid them out next to other materials I’ll be incorporating into my home to see how each element plays against the others. Caesarstone’s Topus Concrete, a warm greige quartz, is the frontrunner, which complements the organic woods with concrete elements throughout the rest of the space. I love the movement and variation that gives this stone a very high design look.
The enduring beauty and strength of these countertops will undoubtedly provide an anchor in this house for all that’s to come.
