How to Style a "Sparkle" or "StarGalaxy" Quartz Worktop in Your Kitchen

By Tudor Granite, Worktop Specialist | Updated: October 2025

A touch of sparkle can elevate a kitchen from plain to luxurious. As a key trend in our main quartz styles guide, this post offers specific advice on how to use a "Sparkle" or "Star Galaxy" worktop without it looking tacky.

1. Balance is Key

A sparkle worktop is a strong design statement. To avoid overwhelming the space, pair it with simple, flat-panel cabinet doors in a solid colour. High-gloss white, grey, or black doors work exceptionally well, creating a sleek, modern look.

2. Use Under-Cabinet Lighting

The magic of a sparkle worktop is how it reflects light. Installing LED strip lighting under your wall cabinets will make the mirror flecks dance, adding depth and a 'wow' factor to your kitchen, especially in the evening.

3. Choose a Simple Splashback

Let the worktop be the star. Don't pair a sparkle worktop with a busy, patterned splashback. A simple glass splashback, a large format tile in a matching colour, or even continuing the sparkle quartz up the wall as an upstand are all excellent choices.

Conclusion

Styled correctly, a sparkle worktop adds a touch of glamour and personality. The trick is to keep the other elements in the kitchen clean and simple to let the worktop shine.
