Trends in Countertops
Texture, Durability Trending in Countertops
While simplicity and ease of use remain hot trends in kitchen design, today's countertops are focusing on durability and clean, fresh color schemes - with texture used to provide a subtle sophistication that doesn't clash with the cleaner lines of the kitchen.
Eco-consciousness also plays a role in the hottest material choices, while mixing and matching materials provides increased functionality and a way to maximize aesthetic appeal without blowing the budget.
Below are some of the hottest trends in countertops today:
- Color schemes are trending toward clean, fresh, monochromatic choices, with shades of white and grey growing increasingly popular.
- Texture, both visual and tactile, is a hot trend, adding a fashionable touch that meshes with today's simpler, more clean-lined kitchen designs.
- Eco-friendly choices continue to be in high demand, with manufacturers increasingly promoting countertop choices that are recyclable or made with a high percentage of recycled material.
- As durability increases in importance for today's value-conscious consumers, man-made materials such as quartz seem to be gaining ground.
- Mix-and-match countertop designs - which may include a combination of wood, stainless steel, natural stone, laminate, quartz and/or glass - are often chosen to provide multifunctional properties while keeping costs under control.
- Glass is the new high-end "it" material, offering both eco-friendly properties and a nearly endless array of personalized design possibilities.
