Choosing Countertops to Complement Your Kitchen Cabinets

Choosing the right countertops is the next important decision to make after choosing your kitchen cabinet design. You want to make sure that your countertops will complement the design of your kitchen and your new kitchen cabinets. There are a lot of color options, materials, and designs to choose from and today, Ragan Cabinets has a few tips to consider for choosing the right countertops that will complement your cabinets.


Aesthetics

The appearance of your countertops will more than likely be the biggest factor when it comes to choosing the perfect countertop. What's the best way to choose the right look? When it comes down to it, your personal styles and preferences will play a role but there are other techniques to help you decide. Typically you want a contrast between your kitchen cabinets and your countertops. If your cabinets are light in color, you may choose a darker countertop to achieve contrast. However, choosing to go neutral will offer up a great look as well. For example, many designers choose white cabinets and opt for a white marble or quartz countertop. 

Choose Your Materials 

There are a lot of materials to choose from when it comes to choosing countertops for your kitchen remodel at the Lake of the Ozarks. Below are a few popular choices:

Granite 

Granite is one of the most popular choices for your modern kitchen. Granite comes in a variety of colors and shades and each piece is unique. Your granite countertops will need to be sealed and you have two options: polished finish or honing. A polished finish is a shiny and glossy look while hooned granite gives it a more matte finish. Granite is versatile and will go will many cabinet styles.

Marble 

Another countertop material that is making waves in kitchen design is marble. White is typically the most popular choice but it also comes in other neutral tones. Marble works really well to achieve a modern look in your kitchen. However, it is gaining popularity in farmhouse kitchens paired with white cabinets and subway tile.


Concrete 

A somewhat new concept in countertop design is concrete countertops. You may think boring grey countertops if you have never heard of using concrete for your countertops but that is not the case at all! Concrete can be customized with colors, pigments, stamping, and much more.

Lamanite 

Laminate countertops are typically considered the most affordable option. If you are looking to remodel your kitchen but you are on a tight budget, we offer affordable cabinets at the Lake of the Ozarks and the addition of laminate countertops would certainly keep you on budget. Laminate countertops come in a wide range of colors and designs.
