While its true that cabinets are the center of interest when it comes to a kitchen remodel, how you top those off can make a big difference to the personality of your room. Countertops and backsplashes can be had in a multitude of materials. All have their pros and cons, but which is right for your family’s kitchen remodel?
COUNTERTOPS Laminate: Laminate countertops are usually the most affordable choice, costing as much as one-third the price of the other materials. They include materials such as Formica which are durable, easy to care for, and come in many colors. However, laminates can easily scratch and chip in ways that can be next to impossible to repair or disguise.
A backsplash is the vertical surface of the wall behind your countertops and appliances. It serves to protect the walls from splashes and spills and can be a striking design element in a kitchen cabinet remodel.
Classic Ceramic Tile: For a classic look, traditional ceramic tiles offers beautiful color options. Tile can be applied in a grid pattern either straight up and down or on the diagonal, or a combination of the two. Mosaics for Color: If color is what you are seeking, mosaic tiles come immediately to mind. These smaller tiles allow an almost infinite versatility in combining color, design and applique elements. Choose from a wide variety of materials including ceramic tiles, glass tiles, and more. Shine and Shimmer with Metal or Glass: A few such options include stainless steel (which can be flat or used as tiles) and glass tiles. Shiny surfaces reflects light around the room and can add depth. Bring Nature In: Using natural elements such as tumblestone can bring warmth and the feel of nature into your kitchen cabinet remodel. A perfect way to offset your modern stainless steel appliances! Tumbled stone is also unique in offering a subtlety of color variation and a one of a kind uniqueness.
