Counter space is key to any kitchen. If you don’t have enough counter space, you can’t work, and the kitchen becomes inefficient and a nuisance. When you design a kitchen, make sure you allow for plenty of counter space. Once you have set aside space for your counters, it’s time to think about the material. In today’s kitchen, the quartz countertop is king.

Quality of quartz countertops

There’s more to quartz than just dazzling good looks, but let’s face it, it’s the physical beauty of quartz that first catches the eye. When you’re showing off your kitchen, your guests won’t be impressed by how durable and easy it is to maintain, they will be impressed by their appearance.

Quartz colors

Quartz countertops are a mixture of quartz, pigments, and a binding resin. In other words, they come in every style and color. They can be bold and bright, or earthy and neutral. Most are made to mirror natural stone, including the natural flecks, swirls, and vein patterns. By adding bits of glass and metal to the mix, you get the same physical attributes as you would with natural stone countertops. You can even play with the texture by various methods of finishing the quartz.

Caring for quartz countertops

Another benefit of quartz countertops, as opposed to granite, is that the resin used to bind the materials together will make quartz much more sturdy and non-porous. You won’t need to seal or reseal quartz countertops. Being non-porous makes it much easier to care for quartz countertops because liquids and stains won’t penetrate the surface and cause permanent damage. All you need is soap, water, and a soft sponge. Avoid steel or rough sponges, even for tough stains, as you can damage and dull the surface of the quartz.
To find the best countertop for your kitchen, you need to check out all of your options at The Kitchen Showcase. Stop by our kitchen showroom in Denver to see the difference between quartz and granite and other countertop materials. Our design experts are here to guide you towards the best materials and the best styles for you and your kitchen.

The kitchen is so much more than the place you do your cooking. Today, the kitchen is a multi-functional hub in the home. It’s what connects everything. Connectivity is one of the key trends in modern kitchen design. Here are a few ways to upgrade and modernize your kitchen.

Technology in the kitchen

Design trends are all about efficiency and simplicity. Technology is making a huge splash in kitchen design. The internet of things is taking over your kitchen, allowing homeowners to communicate with their devices and appliances. Knowing when you’re running low on groceries so you can stop at the store before heading home is a great time saver. Similarly, adding sensors to faucets and lights will automatically save water and energy. The smart, technologically advanced kitchen is one of the biggest trends in kitchen design.

Clean lines, simple design

When it comes to kitchen color trends, white is still number one. For a little contrast, grays are also a big favorite. Keeping a clean simple color palette will allow you to play a little with a few accent pieces or splashes of color.

Shelves and drawers

Many modern kitchens are getting rid of the top cabinets and putting in drawers instead of bottom cabinets. Drawers are much more convenient and easy to access than cabinets. Removing top cabinets and putting in shelves will make the kitchen feel more open and bright. However, the main reason that the cabinets are changing is that of efficiency. Design your cabinets, drawers, and shelving to suit your storage needs. You should always balance function and fashion.

Rustic and natural elements

Be careful not to upgrade and modernize your kitchen to the point where it loses its warmth and charm. Keep the farmhouse feel with rustic elements made from natural materials. Keep wood beams exposed, add a wood wall or backsplash, or use a rustic barn door on your pantry, or instead of traditional cabinets doors.

If you’re fortunate enough to have enough space, the kitchen island can be both decorative and functional. There are several styles of kitchen islands. To find the perfect kitchen island, talk to a designer about what style will work in your kitchen, and also, what functions you need the kitchen island to fulfill.

Right style of kitchen island

When you’re choosing a kitchen island you need to think about the style that will fit your kitchen, but you also need to be realistic about what the island needs to be able to do. Whether you’re just looking for more counter space or you want it to be fully loaded with all the amenities, a kitchen counter can be both a statement piece and a tool to make your kitchen flow more smoothly.

Kitchen islands for small spaces

If you have a small kitchen you may not want a kitchen island to take up space. However, every kitchen needs more storage and counter space. A kitchen island doesn’t have to be stationary. You can customize a kitchen island that is movable and can be tucked away when not in use. For a stationary kitchen island, have it custom made to perfectly fit the space available.

Kitchen islands as dinner tables

Instead of a separate dining area in the kitchen, make your kitchen island both a countertop and a dining table. For a kitchen that needs more counter space, but you don’t need the extra storage space that an island can provide, the kitchen island table is a perfect choice.

Kitchen islands that adds storage space

Let’s face it, somehow we always end up with so much stuff in the kitchen. There are gadgets for just about everything, and we want them all. A kitchen island can add much-needed storage space. You can have built-in cabinets, drawers, shelves, and hanging hooks. The more you customize your kitchen island, the more functional it will be and will have custom storage space that is uniquely designed for your kitchen.

Kitchen islands with all the bells and whistles

Take full advantage of your kitchen island by adding all the bells and whistles. Every inch of space below the countertops is utilized for storage. The countertops expand beyond the area of the island to allow for stools, that way people can sit more comfortably around the kitchen island. The extra counter space that a kitchen island provides is super useful, but adding a kitchen sink and a conveniently located garbage or compost will make your kitchen a chefs dream kitchen. If you have the room, make your kitchen island fully functional.
