Countertops are a fabulous investment for any space, and surprisingly, may be one of the few products that are not inflated right now in terms of price. If you are interested in renovating or are building a new home, we are here to help and discuss all the current trends going on in the most beautiful beaches in the country with countertops. 

As color and pattern are the most important when selecting a countertop that works best with your space, there are a few small details you can consider when it comes to edges and backsplash to give your space, whether small or big, that extra special touch. The standard edge profile, also referred to as a flat eased edge profile, is by far the most common countertop edge, but we have seen a small revival of the ogee edge in baths. The mitered edge has become increasingly popular for kitchens, kitchen islands, baths, and outdoor kitchens. A mitered edge is a lovely detail and creates a bold statement in any space. If you are interested in a mitered edge, 2 inches to 2½ inches is a good range to consider. 

When it comes to stone backsplash, 4” is the standard height, but different heights are becoming increasingly popular as designers push the boundaries of stone applications. Full-height backsplash, backsplash to the ceiling with floating shelves mounted on the stone, and 6-inch to 8-inch backsplash with a stone cap shelf, are increasingly in demand. As these details have always existed, they are becoming more and more desirable as clients veer away from grout lines or hard-to-clean surfaces in their homes. The final product is stunning. When considering this application, there may be coordination and planning required to achieve some of these options. A fabricator will be able to assist you with any questions you might have.
