Choosing the Right Kitchen Countertop Material

Perhaps the biggest decision you’ll have to make when remodeling your kitchen is the material used for the countertops. Not too long ago, this would have meant choosing the color and finish of your laminate counters. But today, we have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to materials for kitchen countertops.

First, you’ll want to pin down the exact style of your kitchen. Is it mid-century modern or country cottage? Elegant and classy or industrial and streamlined? There is a material for every style, so choose carefully.

Rustic country-style homes do well with kitchen countertop materials like butcher block. Stainless steel countertops can create the appearance of a commercial kitchen, while nothing says high-class like marble countertops. However, these are not the only choices to achieve your desired look. And durability and price will also play a role in your selection.

Granite is one of the most popular kitchen countertop materials, prized for its durability and natural beauty. However, quartz countertops are quickly catching up to granite, due to their even greater resilience and wider selection of colors and finishes. Modern laminate countertops are also making a comeback, with improved features over your grandmother’s counters. And recycled paper composite is appealing to those with a focus on environmental sustainability, although they can be pricey.
