Even though it has been seven or eight years since we did this DIY kitchen renovation for a vacation home in Arizona, I still get questions. Time for an updated review of Soprano quartz since I am now credentialed and equipped to compare it to multiple quartz options purchased since then. You’ll see photos of Soprano on the countertops and backsplash of our kitchen and also learn whether this creamy warm white possibility may be right for your own project.

Soprano Quartz Countertop Review
This gorgeous creamy quartz is what I chose for our Arizona vacation house when we renovated it in 2016. Viatera (LXHausys) describes it this way: “A cream white entwined with darker shade, the Soprano quartz surface harmonizes ideally with any setting and surrounding due its attractively neutral color tone.”
What Color is Soprano Quartz (Viatera/LXHausys)?
Even with a ton of photos of Viatera’s Soprano, it can still be tough to decide if this creamy white with light gray and caramel veining is right for your particular countertops.

Ideally, you’ll be deciding on a quartz first and then allowing it to influence the colors elsewhere for cabinets, walls, trim, hardware, etc.

But let’s face it. The cabinets are typically the first layer of most kitchen renovations or new builds.

In this kitchen with its southern exposure, Soprano’s main color had sort of a faded limestone feel.

It has a soft, subdued understated essence.

Some of the veining is cool and other colors are warm…the combination is interesting, neutral, and rather unique if you ask me. Most white quartz options tend to be very cool.

Was This White Quartz Easy to Live With?
No complaints or issues whatsoever with Soprano. This was the first kitchen we did where we extended the quartz to the backsplash, and what a dream to live with!
![Soprano quartz (Viatera - LXHausys) countertop and backsplash in my Arizona kitchen - Hello Lovely Studio. #sopranoquartz #whitequartzcountertop](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/001-arizona-kitchen-soprano-quartz-countertop-viatera-12.jpg)
I absolutely adored not having to tile and grout the backsplash! (And as you can see we had enough work to do on the statement wall with Calacata Gold Hexagon mosaic tiles.
![Soprano quartz (Viatera - LXHausys) countertop and backsplash in my Arizona kitchen - Hello Lovely Studio. #sopranoquartz #whitequartzcountertop](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/001-arizona-kitchen-soprano-quartz-countertop-viatera-13.jpg)
The additional cost to continue quartz for the backsplash may give you pause, but this is one of those buy once, cry once scenarios. Every time you have a kitchen disaster with marinara or citrus or splashed sauces and grease, you’ll be so glad there is nothing porous to absorb it!

Favorite Features of Soprano Quartz?
The quartz product itself is a dream to live with if you’re a real cook and need your counters to be able to take the abuse you and family members dish out. It won’t stain, it won’t absorb germs, and the antibacterial surface provides peace of mind (unlike a natural stone).
![Soprano quartz (Viatera - LXHausys) countertop and backsplash in my Arizona kitchen - Hello Lovely Studio. #sopranoquartz #whitequartzcountertop](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/001-arizona-kitchen-soprano-quartz-countertop-viatera-11.jpg)
You won’t have to baby it. No sealing, no need to police it with kids, and no special cleaning rituals. But will it scratch?
![Soprano quartz (Viatera - LXHausys) countertop and backsplash in my Arizona kitchen - Hello Lovely Studio. #sopranoquartz #whitequartzcountertop](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/001-arizona-kitchen-soprano-quartz-countertop-viatera-8.jpg)
With time and abuse, scratches are bound to happen, but the veining pattern in Soprano makes it more forgiving.
![Soprano quartz (Viatera - LXHausys) countertop and backsplash in my Arizona kitchen - Hello Lovely Studio. #sopranoquartz #whitequartzcountertop](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/001-arizona-kitchen-soprano-quartz-countertop-viatera-7.jpg)
In other words, if you choose a solid surface countertop for a kitchen or bath that is one solid color, there’s a vulnerability in how scratches show.
![Soprano quartz (Viatera - LXHausys) countertop and backsplash in my Arizona kitchen - Hello Lovely Studio. #sopranoquartz #whitequartzcountertop](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/001-arizona-kitchen-soprano-quartz-countertop-viatera-6.jpg)
With patterns (even subtle textured ones many quartz options offer), little signs of use are not obvious.

What Color Cabinets Look Great With Soprano?
This quartz countertop is truly neutral so you are going to have plenty of options for paint colors. Some of you will wonder if off white or cool white cabinets will work with it.
![Soprano quartz (Viatera - LXHausys) countertop and backsplash in my Arizona kitchen - Hello Lovely Studio. #sopranoquartz #whitequartzcountertop](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/001-arizona-kitchen-soprano-quartz-countertop-viatera-9.jpg)
And they WILL if you love a mix of whites as I do. In fact, I love how creamy whites and brighter whites softly contrast and feel sophisticated. The wall paint color for this Arizona house has been discontinued, but it looked exactly like SW Greek Villa:
If you are the type who would never wear ivory and white together, such a combo for cabinets and counters may not be right for you.
![Soprano quartz (Viatera - LXHausys) countertop and backsplash in my Arizona kitchen - Hello Lovely Studio. #sopranoquartz #whitequartzcountertop](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/001-arizona-kitchen-soprano-quartz-countertop-viatera-4.jpg)
I painted these kitchen cabinets Behr Classic Silver. With the strong Southern sunlight, the color appears warm…just the look I was going for. Most kitchens are not going to have the intense light in here. To get the color without the help of all that Southwest sun, I would try:
There are a few different grays and caramel in this quartz pattern so you could definitely introduce gorgeous sophisticated neutral colors such as these for cabinets:
Soprano would also look amazing with wood stained cabinets with a driftwood, natural white oak, limed oak, cerused oak, or honey maple finish.

What Backsplash Looks Good With Soprano Quartz?
I knew I would love Calacatta Gold marble with this particular quartz countertop color. There’s a variation with calacatta gold (warm butterscotch, cool and warm greys, white) that keeps everything feeling cozy and almost beachy.
![Calacatta Gold Marble 2" hex tile mosaic tile.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/calacatta-gold-marble-mosaic-tile.jpg)
I love the impressionistic painterly look this particular marble mosaic tile imparts! So soft and not that sort of in-your-face geometric effect since we opted for white grout.

You could also consider these mosaics for movement, interest, and serenity:
Soprano is not the only Viatera white quartz we love. We chose Minuet for our former fixer upper, and Muse is what I chose for our current kitchen at the Georgian.
Peace to you right where you are.
