Do Your Island and Cabinet Countertops Need to Match?

Kitchen countertops can increase the beauty and functionality of your space. When it comes to these parts of your kitchen, experts recommend that you mix and match. It’s also essential to choose a quality materials for your project. Before purchasing anything or hiring anyone for your project, make sure to do your research and read reviews. 

Here are things to consider when mixing and matching kitchen island and cabinet countertops. 

Functionality

When selecting countertops, you’d want to go for a countertop material that offers excellent resistance to spills, stains and moisture in these areas. Granite is a great option as it resists bacteria, heat, water and stains. 

Accentuate

The family usually hangs out at the kitchen island, and it’s also where many homeowners entertain guests. You can make it the focal point of the room by choosing a more luxurious material for it. Contrasting the material of your kitchen island with the surrounding countertops will make it stand out. For the perimeter countertops consider durable materials, such as granite or quartz. To ensure the beauty of your space, only invest in quality materials. 

Flair and Color

What style are you going for in your kitchen? Those who prefer something more modern should consider granite for a contemporary look. Another thing you need to consider when selecting countertops is color. Choose a color that complements other components of your kitchen. When mixing wood with color surfaces and cabinets, take note of the tone of the wood.
