Having used quartz before, Emma knew it was the go-to choice for her new kitchen. “Quartz works beautifully across different kitchen styles, from modern to traditional,” she explains. With warm grey shaker-style units as the foundation of her design, she wanted a worktop that would complement the space while enhancing its brightness. The subtle veining of Carrara Vito added just the right amount of elegance, making the room feel lighter and more spacious - a crucial factor since the kitchen doesn’t get an abundance of natural light.
Choosing Gemini Worktops meant working with a company that brings over 100 years of combined expertise to the craft. “I loved that Gemini thought about every little detail,” Emma shares. “They truly are experts.”
One standout moment for Emma in the project was when the team suggested integrating the worktop into the window recess, ensuring a seamless, flush finish. It was a detail Emma hadn’t considered but made a world of difference in the final look. Their professional advice and meticulous execution transformed her vision into reality.
Selecting a worktop is a significant investment, and Emma had a few practical concerns - particularly about how the quartz would be cut around different sections of the kitchen, such as the oven and window area. Gemini’s team provided large, high-quality samples to help with her decision, offering peace of mind about the final look.
“They kept us informed throughout the process and answered every question we had,” she says. The ability to see and feel a large sample of the quartz gave her confidence that she had made the perfect choice.
Having handled much of the house renovation herself, Emma was relieved to hand over the reins to Gemini when it came to the worktop installation. “It was so nice to finally have professionals step in and take the weight off our minds,” she recalls. “A worktop is a big purchase, and precision is key. Gemini made sure everything was done perfectly.”
From the initial quote to the templating and final fitting, every step of the process was seamless. The team’s friendly, expert approach meant that even when Emma needed to reschedule an appointment, the experience was completely stress-free.
The impact of the new worktop on Emma’s kitchen has been transformative. “The pale quartz bounces light around the room, making the space feel so much bigger,” she says. “It has completely changed the atmosphere from gloomy to bright and welcoming.”
Her favourite spot? The Belfast sink with a traditional chrome tap, beautifully set against the soft veining of Minerox Carrara Vito quartz. “It’s a dream combination,” she beams.
