Selecting the Right Kitchen Countertop for Your Home

Renovating your kitchen is full of excitement and decision making. It can be difficult to choose the cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and tile for your kitchen. Stone Mart is here to provide tips on how to select the right countertop for your home, based on three different things.

Things to consider before choosing your kitchen countertop:

• Colors: Think about the colors in your kitchen. You want the countertops to compliment the color on the walls, your decorative items, and the backsplash. For a cohesive look, we recommend you choose your countertop and backsplash at the same time.
• Durability: Certain types of countertops can easily be scratched or stained. Marble is more likely to stain than most types of granite. However, granite needs to be sealed regularly to prevent stains. Be sure to consider the required maintenance before committing to a countertop material.
• Style: Some materials are more suitable for contemporary kitchens, whole others are more suitable for traditional-style kitchens.
