Material
As a first step, you should carefully consider the material for your kitchen counter tops. The material chosen will affect the durability and maintenance requirements of your space as well as the overall look of your kitchen. For example, granite is considered to be a highly durable material, and it generally will not scratch as easily as laminate would. However, it does need to be sealed periodically in order to maintain its pristine condition and luxurious look and it can be quite expensive. You can also use laminate/vinyl worktops which are a lot more affordable and with the right care, they can last a lifetime. (See our Kitchen Care Tips)

Colour & Lighting
After selecting the right material for kitchen worktops, the next step will be to select the color that will be used. Many materials are available in a wide range of colors, and you may need to order swatches of the material color options to view inside your home. Keep in mind that factors like the natural and artificial lightingin the room can affect the end result of the kitchen, so it is important to review swatches in your home.
By following these steps, you can most easily find the ideal material to use for your kitchen worktop.
