Bathroom Countertop Options and Ideas
Bathroom Vanity Countertops
Keep it Simple
Your bathroom vanity countertops themselves dont have to be intricate. Consider leaving that for the base cabinets. Simple white quartz countertops pair exceptionally well with more complex cabinetry, for example. Go with a marble grain-style white quartz countertop for a luxurious look that is still simple and wont overwhelm the rest of the rooms decor.
This isnt to say you shouldnt ever think more complex with your bathroom sink countertop. Just dont feel as though you absolutely must. Keeping things simple is a great way to reduce costs.
Choose Your Material Wisely
Dont let aesthetics alone blind you to the impracticality of various materials. People who choose wood for their bathroom vanity countertops, for example, very quickly discover that the material requires more maintenance than they initially planned. Wood is porous. If you dont reseal it often, it will soak up moisture and bacteria, becoming unsightly and unhygienic. Granite is also highly porous and needs to be resealed as often as twice a year.
Quartz Bathroom Countertops
Quartz is by far the best and most popular material for your bathroom sink countertop. Its non-porous nature helps it resist moisture. You also never need to seal quartz bathroom countertops, so theyre low-maintenance.
Use the Materials Properties for Your Own Benefit
Quartz is good for more than just your bathroom countertops themselves. The materials strength and versatility allows you to get as adventurous as youd like, even constructing an entire vanity from it.
While you may not wish to get as adventurous as the picture above with your quartz bathroom countertops, know that its not uncommon for people to have entire sinks built from quartz, resting atop a quartz surface.
Match Your Quartz Bathroom Countertops to the Shower

Because quartz is engineered stone, we at Caesarstone can mold it into a variety of shapes to create a seamless surface.
This differs from materials like granite, which cannot be installed seamlessly and does not make for a great bathroom surface due to its porous nature.
Explore the Different Colour and Pattern Options
One of quartzs many benefits is that it comes in a variety of colours and patterns. Beyond white quartz bathroom countertops, we offer a variety of designs including concrete, shitake, and vanilla noir. We produce these looks by combining quartz with various pigments and resins.
In other words, if you have a particular bathroom aesthetic in mind, dont think you have to settle for basic-coloured countertops. Think big and well have a surface that suits your vision.
Custom Bathroom Countertops
Cost-Effective Customization
You dont have to spend a fortune on elaborate custom bathroom countertops. At Caesarstone, we offer a very simple solution for customizing our already great surfaces: edge profiles.
When it comes to good bathroom design, details matter and customizing the edge of your countertop is a great, subtle way to transform the rooms feel. While youre welcome to choose an edge profile of your own, we offer many, including:
- Double radius
- Bevel
- Double bullnose
- Miter edge
- Bevel square
- Ogee bullnose
- Ogee square step
- Triple egg
- Triple bullnose
The right edge profile makes all the difference when it comes to creating a particular bathroom aesthetic. Many people overlook the importance of choosing an edge profile intelligently because they think custom bathroom countertops have to be elaborate and expensive. It really can be as simple as choosing the right edge.
White Bathroom Countertops
Enhance a Small Space with White Bathroom Countertops
A common trick among interior designers looking to enhance small bathroom designs is to rely on light colours that make the space feel larger. One of the best ways to achieve this is with white bathroom countertops alongside other light hues throughout the space.
White Doesnt Mean Plain
One common mistake people make when considering white bathroom countertops is that white means plain.
While a colour like Vivid White certainly can be stunning, you can also add some texture with a grained, marble-style quartz countertop like Empira White or Statuario Nuvo.
Colours like these are still bright enough to make a small bathroom feel larger but they also provide plenty of visual intrigue.
Custom Bathroom Countertops with Sink Undermount
Create a Seamless, Modern Look
Custom bathroom countertops with a sink undermount are great for creating a sleek, modern look in your home. This works especially well with Caesarstone quartz bathroom vanity tops. We engineer our surfaces within very tight tolerances to ensure you dont have to worry about leaks at the seams.
Are You Sure You Dont Want an Integral Sink?
Another common mistake people make when sorting through bathroom countertop options is to confuse a sink undermount with an integral sink.
Both achieve similar looks but an integral (also known as integrated) sink is truly seamless. There is no undermount portion and, hence, no seam to worry about. Rather, the sink is one with the countertop. One flows into the other.
Quartz is great for achieving this as we can mold the material into just about any desired shape.
The Caesarstone Advantage
Regardless of your desired style, you can count on Caesarstone for the best bathroom countertops on the market. Whether youre looking to create a dominantly quartz bathroom or something more subtle like a bathroom vanity with a quartz countertop, we certainly have a solution for you.
We use a blend of roughly 90% quartz combined with pigments and polymers to manufacture premium services for both residential and industrial applications. We inspect each surface and hold our work to the highest possible standards, ensuring our products are great for our customers and the environment.

In Summary
We chose the bathroom countertop idea above based on trends weve observed in the industry. To recap, bathroom vanity countertops can be simple. In fact, some of the best bathroom surfaces take a backseat in terms of complexity to base cabinets and other surfaces in the room, providing elegance in place of intricacy.
You need to choose materials wisely. Pairing a bathroom vanity with a quartz countertop is your best bet for aesthetics and functionality.
When weighing your bathroom countertop options, you also need to think about colour. White quartz bathroom countertops are a very popular option among those looking to create a spacious and luxurious feel, particularly in a smaller bathroom.
Lastly, think about the type of sink mounting youd like to pair with your bathroom countertops. Quartz bathroom surfaces allow for a great degree of customization in this area. You can go with an undermount sink or an integrated one for a truly seamless look.
