Your countertops are an extremely important part of your kitchen design. With so many different materials, colors, and styles to choose from, it’s important to select the countertop that best fits both your functional needs and personal taste. Read on to discover how you can choose the right countertop for your kitchen with these tips from Southwest Kitchen & Bath.
Think About the Material
Kitchen countertops are available in a wide array of materials, from natural stone to man-made composites. You’ll want to take into account both the look and feel of the material as well as its durability and maintenance needs when making your selection. If your kitchen sees a lot of wear and tear, you’ll want to choose a material that can stand up to constant use, like granite or quartz. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance option, consider laminate or solid surface countertops.
Think About the Style
For a classic look, opt for granite or marble countertops. These natural stones are incredibly durable and easy to care for with regular cleaning and sealing. Soapstone and slate are other good options for those who love the look of natural stone but don’t want to deal with the maintenance.
If you’re looking for a more modern countertop material, consider quartz or concrete. Quartz is a man-made composite that has the look and feel of stone without the need for regular sealing. Concrete countertops are also very popular in contemporary kitchens. They offer a unique, eye-catching look that can be customized with color and texture.
