during our renovation, something we did rather rapidly was select a countertop. We went with a fresh white quartz counter by HanStone (Swan Cotton) that we bought at Ikea together with our cabinets. A sale that day spurred us on, however we are so delighted with exactly how it looks. We select the 1-1/4” thick counter as well as added a waterfall for a bit of drama. As we’re both on the taller side as well as keen to never hunch over a counter again, we increased our cupboards a few inches higher than the basic height. Goodbye lower back pain!
At very first I was a bit uncertain of the flecks in the quartz, however I truly like it now. Plus, the surface is so good to work on, as well as is stain- as well as heat-resistant to boot. As you can see, we still requirement to put up a backsplash as well as some shelves.
These are a few of the other choices we looked at:
This quite one is by IceStone, which is made from recycled glass.
And this similar white quartz counter by CaesarStone takes the thick countertop to new heights.
The beautiful solid surface in this kitchen area is by PaperStone, as well as made of, you guessed it, paper. eco-friendly as well as gorgeous.
Everyone right here at H&H is hectic creating our huge October issue, which will be full of fantastic kitchen area ideas, however in the meantime, inspect out our gallery of 8 kitchen area Styles for much more inspiration.
