Kitchen Remodeling | How to Choose the Right Kitchen Countertops

Luckily, we are here to help. Kitchen remodeling doesn’t have to be stressful. Instead, you should be excited to see your kitchen transform into the room of your dreams. And part of that transformation comes with the installation of new kitchen countertops. The following guide will help you as you choose the right countertops for your new kitchen.

Do Your Research

There are a huge variety of options when it comes to choosing materials for your kitchen countertops. For this reason, you’ll want to do a little research to narrow down your choices. Consider the pros and cons of different stone, tile, stainless steel, concrete, wood and laminate countertops in relation to your needs and routine. Your contractor can also help advise and educate you about all of the different styles and materials out there.

Find the Perfect Fit for Your Lifestyle

With all of the trends and fads going on in kitchen remodeling, you may find yourself gravitating towards countertops simply because they’re hot right now. It’s important to remain practical when choosing your kitchen surfaces. Sure, you’ll want to pick a style that you enjoy looking at and that fits with your home’s aesthetic, but you’ll also want to make sure your new countertops align with your lifestyle.

For example, if you love to cook and are always chopping and handling hot pans, you may not want to invest in laminate kitchen countertops. More durable options like granite or quartz seem to be best for the busy chef.

Don’t Be Afraid to Mix and Match

If you find yourself having difficulty deciding on one single countertop design and material, you can always mix and match! Work with one of our consultants to strike the perfect balance between different materials. Perhaps you can select a different surface for your kitchen island to differentiate the space. You can even inset butcher block for chopping and marble for baking. The possibilities are endless and the results are one of a kind.

Consider Your Budget with Kitchen Remodeling Costs

Unfortunately, kitchen remodeling costs money. It’s important to keep costs in mind when choosing your new countertops. If you’re budget is a little tighter, you may want to consider laminate, tile and solid surfacing counters. These budget-friendly options offer great sustainability and function for way less than more expensive materials like granite. Whatever you choose, your new surfaces will be sure to look amazing in your freshly remodeled kitchen.
