The year is more than half over, and it might be time for a positive change, especially if your kitchen feels dated. Putting off a remodel can leave you anxious, constantly thinking about the updates you want. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment, why not start now by transforming your kitchen and refreshing your home?
The most noticeable difference you can make in your kitchen is with your countertops.
A new pop of color or an unusual pattern is sure to add the wow factor that you need to bring about the change you desire or at impress your friends and family. Below are five trending designs in kitchen countertops that will always be a top statement piece.
Unusually Colored Stone
Are you willing to take a walk on the wild side when it comes to changing your kitchen countertops? Then it would help if you considered changing the color of your kitchen countertops. Most people opt for traditional colors like beige, white, or black. However, did you know that pink marble or quartz is trending? There are variations of pink ranging from fuchsia to a rose-colored pink. As strange as it may sound, it could add a beautiful pop of color to an otherwise drab kitchen.
Pink isn’t the only unique color that you can add to the kitchen. Blue granite is also trending for kitchen countertops. They can be as dark as navy blue to as light as an aqua-colored blue. Whether you choose pink or blue, the result is a chic countertop that is a must-have for any sleek and modern kitchen.
Dark-Colored Countertops
Dark stone countertops are also becoming all the rage in recent years. There are different colors, from coffee-colored stones to titanium. You can even purchase a solid color or have a stone with various fleck patterns and graining within it.
Not only are dark granite countertops beautiful, but they’re also practical. Their rich color helps hide blemishes and stains, so you can feel confident that imperfections won’t stand out the way they often do with lighter granite—especially when entertaining.
Unique Patterns
If you want to make an impression, try to choose a stone with a very unusual pattern. It will also become an attention grabber and conversation starter for when you entertain. Patterns in natural stone are distinctive and effortlessly display your signature style.
The most striking combination of colors are of course, black and white, in which the black forms the graining in the stone. However, there are other colors from which you can choose. Just make sure that you select a graining that stands out on against the dominant color. This is sure to become a talked-about feature in your kitchen.
Less Shiny Natural Stone with a Matte Finish
Are you tired of the shiny finishes for natural stones? Then it’s time to abandon the glossy look and opt for what is commonly referred to as a honed finish. A shine-free countertop won’t reflect light as much and won’t have a glassy feel to it. The eye is drawn to the design and less to the shine of the stone.
If you are keen on granite, you may want to consider a leathered finish, you will love it for many reasons. It looks interesting, a bit rustic yet modern at the same time, making it one of the most versatile countertops finishes available.
Backsplash and Countertop Matching
Stone countertops in granite, quartz or marble and matching backsplash may be a bold option, but it certainly will make your kitchen stand out. Combining the two can make a striking look for your kitchen by creating a seamless connection from the countertop to the wall. You could even go further and make the center island match the countertops.
Overall
If you decide to change your kitchen, these choices are sure to bring about a standout look that you crave. A color variation is sure to provide an exciting backdrop for your kitchen. Unique patterns and even matching backsplash and countertop is a bold, dramatic statement in your kitchen. Don’t forget how much a toned-down matte finish can also change the look of your kitchen.
All these trending options for kitchen countertops are bound to make your kitchen dazzle for years to come. Now the most challenging part will be choosing which one is perfect for your home.
