Countertop Materials
Each of these materials works well for contemporary kitchen styles. With so many options, you can create a kitchen that is on-trend and matches your personal style. These include stone, quartz, and ceramic.
- Natural countertop materials include marble, granite, slate, and limestone. These often work well for feature islands and backsplashes.
- Quartz is a manmade stone which works particularly well in the cooking areas of the kitchen.
- Ceramic is a print which has become very popular due to its dynamic nature and realistic look.
It is becoming increasingly popular to combine various different materials in the kitchen. Other popular choices for countertops include wood, stainless steel, and high-quality laminate.
The Backsplash
Choosing which materials to use in your kitchen is both a practical and stylish choice. Each of these three materials are great options, with personal preferences playing a major role. The choice of materials is not limited to countertops.
