Sustainability is one of the hottest trends in countertops today. Homeowners are looking for stylish, durable products that incorporate recycled materials. While performance is key, today's countertops are still expected to be beautiful, with a growing demand for surfaces that offer a greater sense of depth and dimension. Kitchen & Bath Design News recently listed some of the hottest trends in countertops:
Eco-friendly is the buzzword. Countertops are made "green" by incorporating recycled materials. There's also an increasing interest in countertop products with green certifications, such as the certification offered by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute, which tests products for off-gassing of volatile organic compounds in a number of different product categories.
Granite, quartz and solid surface products are popular with homeowners for their durability, easy maintenance and wide variety of color and pattern choices.
Custom and specialized countertop materials can be everything from hand-painted glass and metal to bamboo. It's only limited by your imagination. You can even create a countertop that reflects your own personality.
Another trend is to mix and match countertop surfaces to maximize function and define different areas of the kitchen .
Color trends range from rich and warm to bright and bold.
