Countertops Materials We Offer
There are a lot of countertop materials to consider, from bamboo to recycled glass and soapstone. Three of the most popular options are marble, granite, and quartz.
Marble Countertops
Countertops made of marble tend to be white with gray or black cracks or gray or black with lighter cracks, though some are brown with many other colors mixed in. Marble is undoubtedly pretty, but it has a few drawbacks. While small scratches can be polished out, the marble tends to chip and may need to be resealed occasionally.
Granite Countertops
Granite countertops tend to be more varied than marble ones, so finding one that matches your desired aesthetic shouldn’t be too challenging. They are also a bit more resistant to damage. It’s much harder to cut or scratch granite, and heat doesn’t have much effect. However, the edges and corners are susceptible to chipping; it must also be resealed, similar to marble.
Popular Quartz Countertops
Quartz countertops have become more popular over the years, and it’s easy to see why. The variety of quartz countertops provides plenty of options, and the patterns on each are stunning. Quartz is also incredibly durable, making countertops made of this material low-maintenance.
One more thing to note about these three materials is their cost. While the price varies based on how much area needs to be covered and your preferred color and pattern, marble tends to be the most expensive. On the other hand, quartz and granite are a bit more affordable. Consider all of these factors as you select the materials you’d like for your countertops.
Our Cabinets Are Available in Multiple Colors for Your Kitchen
Once you’ve decided on a countertop, select your cabinet color. Cabinets sit very close to your countertops and will likely be their biggest compliment, so choosing the correct color is important.
The first thing to consider is how bright or dark your countertops are and your preferred look. Some people prefer the kitchen to be dark toward the floor and lighter toward the ceiling, as this color palette draws the eye upward. Others prefer that the palette goes in the opposite direction. Another option is to match cabinet and countertop colors for a more cohesive look.
Once you’ve decided on the brightness, you must select a color. Common choices include natural wood, black, white, or some custom color that makes your other kitchen furnishings pop. Make sure whatever color you choose doesn’t clash with your other color choices, which could make the area unappealing.
Flooring and Windows for Customers
Some of the biggest choices with a kitchen remodel lie with the floor, while the windows are often overlooked. This is a mistake, as how you choose to cover the windows will determine how much light the room receives and how much privacy you can expect.
Blinds and shades can provide privacy, but shades let in more light. Semi-sheer window treatments allow you to control how harsh the light is but may not provide lots of privacy. As you decide what you want to use on your kitchen windows, also keep in mind that some options let in more outside air than others, which can cause your utility bills to rise as it works harder to maintain a consistent indoor temperature.
When it comes to the floor, the color choice is significant. To select the color, step back and look at the kitchen’s overall decor. For instance, is it bright? If so, a dark floor adds contrast and helps the entire area stand out more. The same can be said for a bright floor in a dark kitchen. If you choose to have your kitchen floor colored, make sure the color doesn’t clash with the rest of the design.
As for flooring materials, there are many from which to choose: tile, hardwood, and vinyl are popular choices. Hardwood can add richness to any room but may be harder to keep clean. Tile is a popular choice and has a wide range of materials and colors to choose from. They can be easy to clean unless a spill lands on the spaces between the tiles, and they can also be resistant to scratching. Vinyl is also resistant to scratches and can be used on wood to add durability and make any floor easy to clean.
