When it comes to kitchen countertops, white can seem a bit
counterintuitive (pun intended). Why would you choose a color that would show
every spill and crumb that gets away from you. Your kitchen counters are one
of the most used features of your home, and they should be designed with
function in mind.
However there are a number of varieties
of white countertops, and they are actually some of the most sought after
materials. There are many reasons people absolutely LOVE white kitchen
countertops.
- They make the room extra bright.
White countertops reflect natural and overhead lighting like nothing
else. - They make the space feel bigger. The
additional brightness creates a feeling of openness in the room that can turn
even the smallest kitchen into an inviting space. - They
are elegant. If you want a luxurious look in your kitchen, this is the way to
go. - They are modern. If you have a modern or
minimalist style, white countertops look absolutely
stunning.
If you decide to go with white
countertops, you have a number of options to choose from. You can go with a
pure white design or a softly veined and flecked finish. You also have a
number of materials to choose
from:
Quartz
Quartz countertops are
definitely one of the most coveted types on the market. It’s gentle,
multi-tonal gray flecks are absolutely stunning. It’s also one of the most
durable materials, being naturally heat and scratch
resistant.
White Marble
White marble is
probably the most luxurious type of countertop available. It is the lightest
white stone, and is naturally cool to the touch. If you’re looking for
elegance, white marble is the way to
go.
Laminate
Laminate is the most
budget-friendly option when it comes to white counters. In the past, laminate
countertops were scoffed at, however modern laminate options have come a long
way. A good laminate brand will be able to mimic the look of quartz or
marble. They are not as heat or scratch resistant, but they can give you a
luxurious look for a lower price.
