The Easy Guide to Upgrading Your Kitchen Countertops

For many reasons, including lifestyle and home value, the kitchen is often the most important room to renovate when you’re ready for an upgrade. Whether you want to get the best resale value or simply enjoy this shared space for years to come, quartz kitchen countertops give the heart of your home the upgrade it deserves.

Why Quartz Kitchen Countertops?

As homeowners have become frustrated with granite, quartz has taken its place as the must-have countertop. Like granite, quartz is beautiful and can fit into many types of décor. However, quartz is also nonporous, making it virtually maintenance-free.

When you choose quartz, you never have to worry about sealing or replacing kitchen countertops again. Quartz doesn’t stain easily and keeps bacteria from seeping in. In fact, quartz is so reliable that Caesarstone offers a lifetime warranty. It’s the choice for homeowners who want both beauty and durability.

Should I Remodel or Replace My Kitchen Countertops?

Traditionally, homeowners have replaced countertops when they want an update. This process involves completely removing the existing countertops and replacing them with beautiful new countertops. Caesarstone offers a variety of colors and styles with this option, but it’s not the only way to get new, sustainable kitchen countertops.

If the demolition dust and price of a complete replacement makes you nervous, you still have kitchen countertop options. Transform by Caesarstone allows you to overlay your new quartz over your existing countertops. The process takes only a few hours and gives you the same quality you expect from Caesarstone.

Will the New Countertops Fit My Style?

While quartz may seem like a newer phenomenon, it’s not and you don’t have to have an ultra-modern kitchen to take advantage of its many features. Whether you prefer the trendy modern farmhouse look, a kitchen with old-world Italian flare, or something more eclectic, you can find a Caesarstone countertop that fits your style.

Once you have chosen and installed your perfect surfaces, you are in the home stretch of your kitchen remodel. The best way to complement your new countertops is to let them speak for themselves. After all, Caesarstone countertops are stunning enough to hold their own.

If you can’t completely clear your counters, consider items that function both as organizational tools and as décor. For example, a vintage breadbox can bring out the charm in a rustic kitchen and store unsightly kitchen tools.

It really is that simple to create a kitchen you can love for years without worry and regain much of the value upon resale. Be sure to browse the Caesarstone online gallery for design inspiration.
