Your new countertops are going to be one of the biggest statement-making elements in the room, so it’s important to love what you choose. Here’s what’s currently trending in the countertop industry:
Ultra-Thick | Using a mitered edge to create the illusion of an extra-thick slab of material gives your countertop a more rich and luxurious look. The added thickness translates to a higher quality appearance.
Waterfall | Extending vertically from the kitchen island to the floor, waterfall countertops are visually beautiful and add a modern touch. Not only does this feature have appealing aesthetics, it can also act as a protective barrier for cabinetry.
Mix ‘N’ Match | Choosing two different countertop colors or materials adds personality and variety to your kitchen. Don’t feel like you have to limit yourself to just one.
Quartz | This has been named the countertop material of choice for 2013. Not only is it durable, but it’s low-maintenance, nonporous, stronger than natural stone, and can emulate the look of granite.
No Overhang | With transitional design becoming more popular, some homeowners are choosing a flush, sleek design by eliminating countertop overhang. Although some functionality is sacrificed, it creates a stunning look.
