Narrowing down your kitchen countertop choices can be quite a task. Read this to make it easier.
For those who prefer to eat home-cooked food, the kitchen in the house plays an important role. Therefore, it is recommended to try out different options for kitchen countertops because many factors play a role. Material availability, resistance to heat, scratches and stains, waterproofing, aesthetics, robustness, ease of cleaning and price – all these aspects can influence your final decision. Although the countertop is the most important decision, it helps visualize what the kitchen will ultimately look like, with the cabinets, backsplash, island (for an island kitchen) and even floor tiles. Check out our suggestions here and choose a worktop that best suits your needs.
Classic white Indian marble options for kitchen countertops
When looking for kitchen countertop options, Indian marble in its various varieties is at the top of the list as this pre-polished, ready-to-assemble stone is available in abundance in our country. The price range also varies from cheap to expensive. Known for its sturdiness, the luxurious material is particularly durable in Indian households, where we commonly use pestles and mortars, traditional grinding stones and stone-based chapati rolling boards. The brilliant use of white marble in this design for everything from the countertop to the backsplash to the floors makes the kitchen appear spacious. The thoughtfully designed modular cabinets further enhance the organized and spacious feel of the kitchen. If you are interested in white countertops, here are more designs you will like.

Black and gold ceramic tile countertop for easy maintenance
Ceramic tiles are one of the most cost-effective options for kitchen countertops. The added benefit of a ceramic worktop is ease of cleaning.
