What makes us “ooh” and “ahh” when we walk into a kitchen? You guessed it: Countertops! This part of the kitchen is a great way to represent your style and personality. The kitchen is also one of the most customizable areas of the home, from the layout and the cabinetry to the decor and more! If you’re wondering what kind of countertops will find the spotlight in 2024, we’ve got you covered. Check out some of our favorite styles going into the new year!
Quartz Countertops
Brittanicca Warm by Cambria is a great way to give your space an organic, serene feeling. A trend that we’ve seen over the last few years is bringing natural elements into the home. This beautiful countertop boasts a warm color palette with movement that mimics desert sand or a mountain’s silhouette. Its muted tones allow you to get a little creative with your cabinetry color.
White cabinets are still trending for a large portion of the population, but this doesn’t necessarily allow a homeowner to express their individual style. To make your space unique, choose a more bold option, such as Levven by Cambria. The layers of color and texture make this quartz countertop a true statement piece in your kitchen.
Bold colors are at the forefront of home and kitchen design. If you’re looking for something a bit more out of the box to distinguish your style from others, check out this blue (yes, I said blue) quartz countertop by Cambria, pointedly called Skye. Paired with white or black cabinetry, this countertop would make a bold statement at the center of your space.
Granite Countertops
If you’re looking to keep things classic, go for a granite countertop. Any style, color, and pattern will do! But a trick of the trade to keep things up to date... consider the hues and shades within the material and choose one of those colors for your cabinets. If you plan to keep your cabinets and just replace your countertops, find a granite slab that includes the existing color of your cabinetry!
Laminate Countertops
Don’t let the name fool you; laminate gets a bad rap sometimes because it is not a stone countertop. But before you rule this option out, consider how far this product has come over the years. The laminate that is offered to homeowners today is not the same old rust and brown colored countertops we saw in our grandparents' kitchens from a few decades ago. It has evolved in both its aesthetic appeal and its durability, making it a beautiful, long-lasting product for even a high-end, designer kitchen.
As was mentioned earlier, natural colors and textures are making an appearance in homes everywhere. Connecting with the outdoors is a crucial part of some people's everyday lives. There are quite a few choices in this style of countertop offered by Kitchen Magic. For example, consider these:
Formica Fantasy Marble
WilsonartHD Antique Marula Pine
Wilsonart HD Truss Maple
If you’re not one for connecting with nature and tend to lean more toward the look of a stone countertop, there are plenty of options that resemble stone that don't come with the heftier price tag. If you’re seeking the same classic look that a stone countertop offers, check these out:
Formica Midnight Stone
WilsonartHD White Carrara
WilsonartHD Spicewood Springs
To sum it up, no matter what’s trending and popular, your kitchen is yours to do with what you please. Homeowners spend a lot of time in the kitchen, for various reasons, so make sure that it is a space you're passionate about. Finding the right materials to match your personal style is exactly what Kitchen Magic aims to do, and there are options for every style and budget!
