Kitchen Countertops
Whether you are building a new house or remodeling an older one, it can be overwhelming to choose the various materials that will be needed throughout the house. There are many surfaces in a house such as the floors, walls, shelves, ceilings, fireplaces, and countertops in the bathrooms and kitchens. Not only can this be difficult to decide but you may really like a material that is not within your budget. Choosing kitchen countertops can either help you create a dream kitchen or it can turn it into a nightmare.
As with any room in the house, the wrong color or shade can ruin the look of the room. If you have countertops that are dark, it can make the kitchen feel small and dark. You may really like the darker colors but keep in mind the size of the room and what else will be in there. When you have dark cabinets and dark counters, it can make the room feel like a cave. Kitchen countertops should be a complimentary color yet should match the rest of the surfaces.
Kitchen countertops take a lot of wear and tear, not only from cooking and baking but from everyday activities. The kitchen is where the majority of your family will be on a regular basis. From homework time to snack time, arts and crafts, to Christmas baking, the counters will be used heavily. Having a durable material that will not only look nice but that will last through the years is important to a well-functioning kitchen. Keep in mind that not all materials will resist stains and germs. Some materials will absorb the messes in a kitchen and can harbor bacteria and stains. If you have a spill on the surfaces you don’t want to have the stain or the germs soak into the counters. A material such as sealed granite, sealed silestone, and even various types of laminate can be effective options for a clean and safe kitchen. There is a growing trend for counters made from tiles and concrete. These are both very strong options. Not only are they durable but they are cost effective. Many times you can find a closeout tile that will cover the counter space for an inexpensive price. By buying the tiles cheaply, you can spend a little bit of money on specialty tiles so the counters have a design and even can match the backsplash.
