1. Sustainable Surfaces for Your Kitchen Countertop

Eco-friendly materials are leading the way in 2025.

2. Bold Veined Quartz

Quartz remains a top pick for its durability and low maintenance—but in 2025, we’re seeing a shift toward dramatic, oversized veining that mimics high-end marble. These countertops add luxury and visual interest, especially on kitchen islands.

Trending Colors: White backgrounds with bold gray or gold veining.

Pro Tip: Let the veining stand out by keeping backsplash and cabinetry neutral.

Marble, granite, and soapstone are making a major comeback—but with a twist. Homeowners are opting for honed or leathered finishes that offer a softer, more organic look compared to traditional polished styles.

Popular Choices: Honed Carrara marble, leathered black granite.

Pro Tip: Use natural stone to add contrast in two-tone kitchens or as a statement island.
