Kitchen countertops add an important aesthetic to any home. They not only provide a surface for cooking, cutting foods, and storage, but also add to the beauty and elegance of a residence. Countertops can range from basic to elaborate. Picking the right top depends on one’s budget and desired look. Below are a few steps on how to find the perfect countertops for your kitchen.

Choosing the right counter largely depends on one’s budget. If you do not have a lot of money to spend, laminate is the least expensive option. Laminate is very durable and comes in a variety of colors and patterns. Although it does not have the same appeal as an upgraded countertop, it can still be tasteful and even beautiful when chosen properly. Many of the top laminate manufactures now make countertops that resemble stone with numerous patterns, colors, textures and edges at a much cheaper cost. When researching laminate, choose a color that matches appliances, cabinets, and floors. If you want a more elegant aesthetic, opt for a laminate that has a pattern similar to granite.

One of the most popular and best countertops on the market today is Corian counters. They are more expensive than laminate, but generally a little less in cost than granite. They are extremely efficient, versatile, and durable for those who cook often. Furthermore, they can be combined with inlays, various sinks, and edge treatments. Corian often looks best with Tile, Brass, and Granite. Therefore, if you are searching for a counter that provides numerous options and unparalleled durability, Corian is an excellent choice.

If you are looking for a richer design and money is not as much of an issue, Granite, Marble or Quartz countertops will provide a classic and beautiful countertop. These also come in a variety of colors, patterns, and edges. If you have a kitchen with stainless steel or black appliances, black countertops are always a popular choice. If your kitchen has white appliances and oak or lighter cabinets, the neutral browns and creams are always a safe choice.

Kitchen countertops are one of the most important features of any home. When choosing counters, one needs to consider their budget as well as their desired function and aesthetic. Good luck!
