Choosing Your Ideal Countertops

Planning for your kitchen renovation is a big deal, but choosing your ideal countertops doesn’t have to be. There are so many different things to consider when remodeling a kitchen that it is hard to know what to look for first. Our Sharon Stone Design experts can help you find the best things to look for in new kitchen countertops.

Check out this short guide of important deciding factors to help you determine your next steps when seeking out human-made or natural stone countertops in San Jose.

Consider Your Color Scheme

The best kitchen designs come together when you have a general theme in mind. You should consider current trends and what color schemes work well with the other elements of your kitchen. Your color choices could determine what parts of the kitchen need to be changed, and how easily you can make additional changes in the future.

Most homeowners opt for natural color schemes. Countertops that display neutral tones of gray, beige, white, and black are typically the most popular. Varied patterns and textures can help you change up the style of your kitchen often without having to replace your countertop every time
you do.

Find the Right Materials

The most important part of choosing a new countertop is finding the right materials for your kitchen. There are plenty of stone countertop options and a variety of human-made countertop slabs that could be a good fit for your needs.

Popular countertop materials include:

Quartz

A human-made countertop material that resembles natural stone, quartz is an affordable choice for most kitchen projects. There are flexible coloring and style options for quartz with just a few maintenance needs and limitations.

Granite

Granite is a common natural stone that can be another easy solution for any modern kitchen. Granite comes in many shapes and textures and is more durable than quartz depending on how much use you get out of your kitchen. It is usually resistant to heat and scratches.

Soapstone

Natural stone will always be the most popular and desirable option on the market. Soapstone and limestone are softer surfaces and require more care than most others. However, with professional sealing and consistent maintenance, you can enjoy a natural stone countertop that rivals all others with its colors and style.

Think About Resale Value

You don’t just have your own style preferences to consider when looking for the perfect kitchen countertop. You have to think about what materials are valuable and what will help elevate the status of your kitchen. There is no doubt that a kitchen remodeling project is a great way to boost your home’s resale value for the future, but the countertop is an especially significant factor that can help you earn some extra money back when you sell.

Natural stone will add the most value to your home. Granite and quartz can also help keep your home at a good value throughout the years. The best countertop is one that is timeless and worth its weight in gold.
