Neolith has introduced two gorgeous new colours, inspired by the majesty of nature and the earth’s hidden treasures, harmonising functionality and beauty.
Everest Sunrise is a gentle, neutral quartzite-like finish with accents of gold that speaks of the spectacular beauty of Mount Everest at sunrise. Cappadocia Sunset features a medley of rich, tonal greys evoking the rugged splendour of Cappadocia’s volcanic peaks.
Crafted from raw, natural materials, these surfaces do not add quartz to their formulation and are fully recyclable, making them a smart choice for those wanting to design an environmentally friendly home. They also provide the superior durability and practicality Neolith is known for, being highly resistant to water, heat, scratches, stains, and UV rays and requiring minimal maintenance and zero resurfacing to perform beautifully for decades.
Sydney-based interior designer, Renee Richmond, principal at Sage Interior Design Studio, shares how these new Neolith colours complement the latest design trends we’re seeing across Australia, and how she has used them in her own projects.
In this Sydney family kitchen, Richmond has used Neolith Everest Sunrise, with its creamy, natural tones and flecks of gold, on the benchtops and splashbacks, paired with muted sage paintwork and subtle metallic accents. “This kitchen serves as a family hub, blending functionality with social appeal – a supremely welcoming space with a soft, inviting aesthetic,” she says.
Richmond dialled up the drama in this Sydney kitchen owned by a design-savvy, professional couple by running Neolith Cappadocia Sunset across the central island and splashback wall, coupled with rich timber cabinetry, dark bronze detailing, Venetian plaster, and fine metallic mesh panelling, finished with a statement pendant. “To elevate the Neolith stone to the centrepiece of the design, complementary materials were carefully selected to enhance its beauty and uniqueness,” says Richmond. “The finished design creates a rich and dramatic ambience and reflects the owners bold yet sophisticated design style.”

“Here, we’ve run Neolith Everest Sunrise across the vanity and the wall behind the mirror to create seamless luxury, while eliminating any superfluous detailing to minimise the visual distractions, which we’ve then gently contrasted with Neolith Cappadocia Sunset on the floor. The effect is instantly soothing. Textured Venetian plaster walls on either side in a similar shade as the vanity and rear wall add to the cossetting vibe.
“This look works best when you choose colours without any stark contrasts, like we’ve done here, supplemented with warm, mood lighting to enhance the serene atmosphere,” says Renee.
Neolith is also set to release a ground-breaking new silica-free surface later this year, fortifying its stance as a long-standing sustainability pioneer, caring not only for the environment, but also for the people who is Involved in the process of handling and manufacturing the surfaces. This innovative new product line is devoid of crystalline silica, with the first colours in the new formulation set to be Artic White and Abu Dhabi White in a 20mm thickness – the ideal choice for eco-aware renovators.
