There are two undeniably powerful components of any kitchen that leave a lasting impression: your cabinets and countertops. Essentially, it’s these components that give a kitchen its character and ”theme”, if you will.

So, when it comes to deciding on kitchen countertop materials, you want to do your due diligence. It’s not only important to choose a material that looks great, but one that can take the heat, too (quite literally!).

Want the lowdown on the 4 top trending materials to consider? Then keep on reading.

1. Quartz, the Forever Queen

If there is one kitchen countertop material that remains top of the pops year and year, it has to be quartz. And this is for a number of reasons.

For one, it’s a high-end alternative to many other materials, such as granite and marble, and it costs a fraction of the price. Not only is it durable and long-lasting, but it’s aesthetically pleasing in whichever color you choose.

To add to this, quartz is the best countertop material when it comes to moisture and stain resistance because of its non-porous nature.

This means it’s a great hypoallergenic and hygienic option for most kitchens. Not to mention how low maintenance it is.

Want to learn more about why you should opt for quartz? Check out these reasons.

2. Gorgeous Granite

If you turn back time to the early 90s, granite was one of the top go-to kitchen countertop materials of the time.

While it’s very popular today, it does have a couple of drawbacks to consider. Otherwise, granite is an amazing option for high-end kitchens.

It’s a beautiful natural stone available in a variety of colors and intricate shades. While each slab has its own unique marbling and detail.

No two pieces of granite are ever the same, so it’s a brilliant option if you’re looking for something unique.

It’s very durable, but it’s also quite porous. However, this is easily remedied with periodic non-porous sealing.

3. Butcher Block Business

This is probably one of the trendier kitchen countertop options at the moment. However, it’s not usually the only material used for countertops and is often paired with either quartz or granite slabs.

Butcher block counters are an incredible option in the kitchen because of their versatility. They also offer a beautiful richness and warmth to your space with the many different wood colors and textures you can choose from.

They can double as both countertops and a work surface and are easy to clean and maintain. Contrary to what many think, butcher blocks are perfectly hygienic with the right wood sealant. However, it’s still a good idea to clean them well after use with a sponge and warm water.

4. Marvellous Marble

If there is one high-end material that will never go out of style or popularity, it’s a marble. Despite the price point, this countertop material is still one of the most popular on the market today — and for good reason.

Marble is perfect for dramatic, large kitchens. It’s the type of material that screams luxury and generally suits classic, timeless kitchen styles.

Due to the fact that it’s quite a soft stone, it does require regular maintenance. This includes yearly sealing and cleaning, especially with spills that could stain.

Choose Your Countertop Materials Wisely

When it comes down to it, your kitchen countertop material is a lifetime investment. You want it to last as long as your home does, or however long you spend in it.

For this reason, it’s important to weigh up the pros and cons of each material and pick one that will serve you best.
