Short, Yet Interesting Article/Slideshow on Countertop Trends

I ran across an interesting article on Kitchen & Bath Business today highlighting some apparent trends in countertops. It also has a photo slideshow to go with it. I’m not sure if I agree 100 percent on all of the points being made here, but there are some insights offered, such as the push for quartz surfacing, the revitalization of solid surface and the price drop in natural stones keeping it a highly viable option.

One other interesting trend pointed out was the “European” look of thinner countertop profiles. I’ve heard this elsewhere and it sounds like it is not isolated. Maybe 2cm will become the standard or the drop-down edges on solid surface will become less popular?

Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and, like the article points out about safe color choices, not everyone is going to go for the next trend that comes along…
