Countertops have come a long way since the days of humble laminate. Today’s products feature bold colors and surprising additions like texture.

While granite continues to be popular, quartz – with its durable yet high-shine surface – is gaining momentum. Solid surface manufacturers have greatly improved their ability to replicate natural materials, bring it closer to the look of stone while being more low-maintenance[1].

As with cabinetry, grey is a hot color, along with timeless black and white. Caesarstone has launched a line, Motivo, featuring patterns straight out of the fashion magazines, with tactile interest (such as crocodile)[2].

Lakeville Kitchen and Bath offers Caesarstone products as well as a number of other natural stone and solid surface manufacturers. Stop by the Lindenhurst or Smithtown showroom and see which option works best for your kitchen!
