Hello Rehanara Quartz is more hard wearing than granite, though both are very practical choices. In terms of look, Quartz has a slightly more uniform look to it, whereas granite is more organic. If you're unsure of what material to use for your kitchen worktops perhaps our blog about different work surfaces might be of use to you? There are details about not only granite and quartz but also wood, ceramic and corian. Hope this is helpful to you. Regards, Davonport.

Ok ... Well you do still need to know what you are doing wherever you live ! Designing homes or rooms within homes is much more than just the ability produce a neat drawing ... Simple things, such as knowing basic size of kitchen cabinetry, is just a tiny part of the knowledge a design professional needs to know, without looking it up ! Knowing how to safely set out a kitchen, bathroom or home is serious stuff - if you don't know what you are doing and work you have done generates an accident or fire, as an example, and someone gets hurt - or worse - just think awful that would be !! Seriously - please get some proper training before you start 'working ' for people ! Just because I can pick up a scalpel and cut paper with it doesn't mean I'm a brain surgeon !

My husband is colorblind too (and our 4 year old too). Can't tell the diference between pale green and beige, between purple and navy. He lets me pick the colors for our house and simply says if he likes certain combinations or not. Even if he can't tell what color it is, if it looks good as a whole, he's fine with it. So even if you can't relate to a color, but it looks okay or in balance with the other colors, trust the wife. ;) All earthtones could be lovely, but some pop would be fun too (like sage/seablue). Just depends on the feel/style you want to achieve.

The cardboard backing is a balancer. It’s a necessary requirement to keep the worktop level to prevent wharping. Out of interest was it from Howdens as they’re well known for cardboard backing while other major suppliers offer a different material which is better.
