Thinking about giving your kitchen a fresh new vibe?
The colour of your worktop can completely redefine the space—sometimes even more than the material itself. At Traditional Masonry in North Shields, we’ve been seeing some standout preferences from homeowners lately, especially when it comes to quartz and granite. Whether you’re drawn to bold, deep hues or subtle, understated tones, 2025 is all about embracing your design instincts.
Here’s a quick look at the shades turning heads across North Tyneside, Newcastle, and surrounding areas.
Soft whites and calming greys
Light quartz shades—like crisp whites and gentle greys—remain a favourite for their clean, modern appeal. They brighten up the room, make compact kitchens feel roomier, and play well with both minimalist and statement cabinetry. Plus, they’re versatile enough to refresh with different accessories over time.
We offer a broad collection of quartz worktops in soft neutrals to match a range of interiors. Have a look at our quartz range for inspiration.
Bold black granite that commands attention
For a more dramatic look, black granite continues to be a top choice. It brings contrast and depth, especially in open-plan kitchens or when paired with lighter cabinets. You can opt for a matte leathered finish or go high-gloss for that timeless polish.

Natural movement and stone-inspired patterns
Designs that echo the veining of marble or the texture of layered stone are having a moment. They bring subtle character and a touch of luxury without overpowering the space. Warm, earthy tones—like creams and soft browns—are also coming back, blending traditional charm with a modern edge.
Earthy, grounded colour palettes
Mocha, taupe, and soft greens are carving out their spot for 2025. These nature-inspired tones add warmth and serenity, and they pair effortlessly with wood elements and matte finishes.
