At Stonefacings, we’re passionate about bringing you the latest in quartz countertop design, and we’re thrilled to introduce two breathtaking new colours from Santamargherita—available exclusively in Ireland through us! Whether you’re renovating your home or designing a commercial space, a quartz countertop is an investment in style, durability, and function.
In this blog, we’ll explore what makes these two new shades—Sequoia Bark and Dark Moss—so special, how they can elevate your interiors, and why quartz countertops continue to be a top choice for homeowners and designers alike.
The Growing Popularity of Quartz Countertops
Quartz countertops have surged in popularity over the past decade, and it’s easy to see why. Unlike natural stone surfaces like granite and marble, quartz countertops offer superior durability and consistency. They are engineered from natural quartz crystals combined with resins and pigments, resulting in a non-porous, highly durable surface that is resistant to stains, scratches, and moisture.
This makes quartz countertops ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and even commercial spaces where both aesthetics and longevity matter. With their low maintenance and extensive variety of colours and patterns, quartz countertops provide the perfect balance of practicality and beauty.
Introducing Two New Quartz Countertop Colours
When it comes to choosing the perfect quartz countertop, colour plays a crucial role in setting the tone of your space. That’s why we’re excited to showcase Sequoia Bark and Dark Moss, two exquisite, nature-inspired shades designed to enhance both residential and commercial interiors.
Sequoia Bark: A Timeless, Earthy Elegance
Sequoia Bark embodies the deep, warm hues of aged wood, making it an ideal choice for creating a cozy yet luxurious atmosphere. Whether you’re designing a modern kitchen, a spa-like bathroom, or a high-end commercial space, this rich brown quartz countertop complements a wide range of aesthetics—from contemporary minimalism to timeless elegance.
Why Choose Sequoia Bark?
- Warm & Inviting: The rich brown tones create a sense of warmth, making it perfect for both rustic and modern interiors.
- Versatile: Complements various cabinet colours, including white, beige, dark wood, and even black.
- Durable & Low Maintenance: Unlike natural wood surfaces, quartz countertops like Sequoia Bark resist stains and scratches, ensuring long-lasting beauty.
Best Design Pairings:

Dark Moss: Bold and Sophisticated
For those looking to make a statement, Dark Moss is the ultimate choice. This deep green quartz countertop is inspired by the beauty of lush forests, bringing a bold and sophisticated touch to any interior. Whether featured in a kitchen, on a statement island, or as a striking vanity top, Dark Moss pairs effortlessly with brass, gold, or matte black accents for a truly luxurious finish.
Why Choose Dark Moss?

Why Quartz Countertops Are a Smart Investment
Beyond their stunning visual appeal, quartz countertops are known for their practical benefits. If you’re considering investing in a new countertop, here are some of the key advantages that make quartz an unbeatable option:
1. Durability That Lasts
Quartz is one of the hardest minerals found in nature, making quartz countertops highly resistant to chipping, cracking, and daily wear and tear. Unlike natural stone, quartz doesn’t require periodic sealing, making it an effortless choice for busy households.
2. Low Maintenance
Quartz countertops are non-porous, meaning they do not absorb liquids or stains. This makes them incredibly easy to clean—just a quick wipe with soap and water is all it takes to maintain their pristine appearance.
3. A Healthier Choice
Because quartz countertops are non-porous, they do not harbor bacteria or mold, making them an excellent choice for kitchens and bathrooms where hygiene is a priority.
4. Consistent Aesthetic
Unlike natural stone, which can have unpredictable veining and variations, quartz countertops offer a more consistent look, making it easier to match your overall interior design vision.
How to Choose the Right Quartz Countertop for Your Space
With so many colours and finishes available, selecting the right quartz countertop can feel overwhelming. Here are a few tips to guide your decision:
- Consider Your Cabinetry: If your cabinets are dark, a lighter quartz countertop like marble-inspired shades can create contrast. If you have white or neutral cabinets, darker shades like Dark Moss can add depth and character.
- Think About Lighting: Natural and artificial lighting can significantly affect how a quartz countertop looks in your space. Be sure to view samples under different lighting conditions.
- Match Your Style: Whether your style is modern, rustic, or traditional, choose a quartz countertop that aligns with your aesthetic while maintaining long-term appeal.
