The kitchen is truly the center of every home, it is a place for preparing meals and creating memories with loved ones. Your kitchen can reflect your aesthetic while providing you with necessities that are essential for everyday life. Some homeowners prefer a traditional kitchen look while others seek a modern style, whichever your preference is there is a perfect countertop for you! In this blog we are covering the top five kitchen countertops for 2022.
Marble Kitchen Countertops
Marble countertops are truly the versatile choice, clients love that no two marble countertops are alike! There are a range of marble colors to choose from, including gray, brown, pink, taupe, orange, and green. You can achieve a contemporary, high-end appearance without going over budget. An additional benefit is that marble naturally maintains a lower temperature, making it ideal for homeowners that love baking!
Pro Tip: Marble is an excellent surface for rolling and shaping dough, though experts recommend utilizing cutting boards to avoid scratching the marble.
Quartz Kitchen Countertops
Quartz countertops are a wonderful family choice. The material is stone engineered from natural quartz while combined with a resin binder to make the countertops incredibly durable. It is a low maintenance choice because it is non-porous, strong, and does not require re-sealing. What clients love about quartz countertops is that they show impressive longevity.
Pro Tip: Avoid exposing to hot pans or baking sheets, this could cause loss of color. Do not place hot objects directly on the countertops or use trivets, mats, or pads to separate hot objects from your Quartz countertop.
Butcher Block Kitchen Countertops
Deemed the rustic choice, butcher block countertops are becoming a popular choice for kitchens in 2022. These reliable countertops are very affordable compared to stone countertops and specially crafted from pieces of wood. This creates a cozy kitchen look! Butcher block countertops can be made from various types of wood, such as maple, cherry, oak, walnut, or teak. You can even choose the finish based on your personal style preference!
Pro Tip: To keep your countertops looking fresh, specifically for unsealed butcher block countertops, please oil twice a year.
Soapstone Kitchen Countertops
These kitchen countertops have earned a reputation as the innovative choice! The surface features a softer, soap-like texture. This type is perfect for most homeowners because soapstone is completely non-porous, stain-resistant, bacteria-resistant, and heat-resistant. Find your ideal colored countertop with options ranging from shades of blue, grey, or green undertones. Clients love the uniqueness of the texture and overall one of a kind experience because the marble-like veining varies in each countertop.
Pro Tip: Experts suggest homeowners oil the countertops once a month for the first year to help the surface to oxidize and support the development of the patina.
Granite Kitchen Countertops
Granite countertops are considered the classic choice because the natural beauty never goes out of style. Granite kitchen countertops are ideal for family homes or individual homeowners, they are low maintenance and heat resistant for added safety. You can select lighter or darker shades depending on your unique kitchen style! Clients love the flexibility of selecting the countertop cut with a variety of edge choices such as square, beveled, ogee, and more!
Pro tip: Clean up is quick and easy, experts recommend avoiding harsh cleaning products and instead using a little soap and water.
