3 Unusual Phoenix Kitchen Counter Surfaces

When it comes to choosing a new counter surface for you kitchen, there are plenty of options to choose from. Here are the top three unorthodox counter surface materials that would be incredible for your kitchen.

Stainless Steel Countertop

One of the best materials for your kitchen counter surface is stainless steel. For one thing, it is an absolute joy to clean. Simply use a mild soap, a little bit of water, and a wash rag to wipe food and debris right off. Because stainless steel is so smooth and easy to clean, bacteria buildup will never be a concern, making it an amazing and sanitary surface to prepare food on (tip from HGTV). With its modern vibe and ability to match any color, stainless steel is also a great way to revamp an outdated kitchen. Stainless steel countertops are more expensive than many of the other surfaces available, but their extremely durable material means that they are well worth it.

Wooden Kitchen Counters

Not only are wooden kitchen counters are a great way to add a gorgeous earthy look to any kitchen, but they are extremely functional. With wooden counters, you will never have to use a cutting board. A sealant can be applied to extend the life of the counter, preserve the color, and make them sanitary for food preparation. A wood counter surface can be applied to the entire kitchen or just to a section of it reserved for chopping food. A mix and match of functional wood and gorgeous stainless steel can be a great way to incorporate form and function into one.

Modern Concrete Countertops

When used for countertops, finished concrete can look like marble and be a stunning focal point of your entire kitchen. Concrete counters are extremely affordable, environmentally friendly, and only need to be cleaned with soapy water. Concrete surfaces will also last a lifetime if they are taken care of properly (and they don’t even need much care). Concrete surfaces are extremely customizable – you can choose from a variety of textures and stain colors. Concrete counters can be stamped with designs that will suit your kitchen best and give your kitchen a custom look and feel. These stamps can be used to give the appearance of tiles, without having to worry about scrubbing grout. Concrete is becoming one of the most popular modern materials used in kitchens and throughout the home.

Using one of these countertop materials for your kitchen remodel will undoubtedly give your kitchen a modern and functional design. Let your designer help you decide which is best for you, or combine them for a truly unique concept.
