White cabinets are a timeless classic which brightens up your kitchen space and also give off the illusion of cleanliness. This pristine look is very versatile. Which is one of the reasons why so many homeowners opt for white cabinetry. However, the wide range of options a homeowner can pair with white cabinetry seems overwhelming to some of our customers. Below, we generated a list of our favorite countertops which beautifully compliment white cabinetry.

Light Countertops

If you are looking to fully maintain the pristineness white cabinetry gives off, light countertops is undoubtedly your best choice. White quartz is a non-porous material meaning it’s stain resistant and easy to uphold. This highly durable countertop allows you to carry about your kitchen tasks worry free of damage. Another favorite light cabinetry choice is white marble. Even though marble gives your kitchen a luxurious look, it’s actually quite affordable. Marble naturally stays cool making it the perfect surface for rolling out dough!

Dark Countertops

Dark countertops give a contrasting look to your kitchen’s design. They add depth to the existing color scheme. Dark countertops do not always have to mean black. Darker shades of brown and blue can also help one achieve the sought-after contrast. If you’re looking for a dramatic impact along with the introduction of elegance, dark countertops are a must!

Neutral Countertops

Neutral countertops are a great thing to implement if you frequently want to change your kitchen design. They provide a great foundational base along with the white cabinetry making it easy and simple to freshen up the look of your kitchen in the future. Keeping your kitchen countertops, a neutral color allows your kitchen to remain timeless!

The post Should You Install Soapstone Counters? appeared first on Kitchen Solvers.

]]>

If you want the kitchen in your home to combine an attractive appearance with functionality, you must be sure that you have the right counters. While there are several different styles of counter you could install in your kitchen, one of the most interesting options is soapstone.

A type of natural stone counter constructed from quarry rocks, soapstone is very aesthetically pleasing and can be easily used to refresh the appearance of your home. However, before you install soapstone counters, you should learn a little about the benefits and disadvantages of this material. Check out a few of the pros and cons of soapstone counters so that you’ll be able to decide if this material is the right choice for your home.

Soapstone Advantages

When you choose to install soapstone counters in your kitchen, you can receive a variety of benefits that are unmatched by other materials. Examining a few of these benefits should help you decide if soapstone is the right match for your home.

First, soapstone is an extremely attractive material and can be used to give your kitchen a warm and inviting feel. Soapstone also has a tendency to darken as it ages, creating a rustic look that is so popular in modern kitchens.

Second, soapstone is one of the easier counter materials to maintain. Scratches are rare, but when the do occur, you should be able to sand them out with minimal effort. You can also clean your soapstone with just a little soap and warm water, meaning you won’t need to keep any harsh chemicals on hand.

Finally, soapstone counters can help your family to stay healthier. This type of natural stone is non-absorbent, which means that bacteria will not penetrate your counter and can be easily cleaned away.

Cons of Soapstone

If you want to make the most informed decision possible, you should also spend a little bit of time learning about the disadvantages of soapstone.

The biggest drawback of this material is that it is typically much more expensive than other stone counters. However, these expensive upfront costs can be offset by the durability of this stone. Another disadvantage of soapstone is that only a few colors are available. This can be a problem for homeowners who prefer variety when remodeling their kitchen.

Lastly, while they are durable overall, soapstone counters are softer than other natural stone counters. This means they are vulnerable to scratches and their corners can also become rounded over time.

Install Soapstone Counters

After weighing the advantages and disadvantages of soapstone counters you should be able to decide if this material fits your needs. If you’ve decided that soapstone counters are right for you and you need help installing these counters in your home, then you can get assistance from Kitchen Solvers.
