ADORN YOUR HOME WITH NATURAL STONE

Why You Should Invest in Marble Countertops for Your Kitchen

August 15, 2024

Kitchen remodels are the most popular remodels that homeowners undertake. A new kitchen with beautiful stone countertops is the perfect upgrade. According to the Freedonia Group, new countertop demand will increase by 4.4% annually, reaching 1.1 billion square feet by 2026. More homeowners are opting for marble countertops in their new kitchens. There are several reasons why marble is quickly becoming the most appealing natural stone.


Sophisticated Elegance


Marble adds an instant element of sophistication to every kitchen. The unique veins of gray slowly work through a white background, making it appear luxurious. Marble is known for being softer than granite, allowing more room for customization to make your countertops unique to your home, further increasing the aesthetic appeal. More than anything, marble is often associated with luxury, providing a timeless appeal to any area with marble countertops.


Property Value


Many homeowners update their kitchens before selling their homes to increase market value. You’ll recoup most of the cost of several things throughout your kitchen, including your countertops. Marble is one of the more expensive natural stone countertop options available, meaning it will increase your property value more. Potential home buyers are also more likely to pay a higher price for a kitchen that requires no further updates.


Versatile Appeal


Marble is available in white and gray shades, making it one of the most versatile countertop choices. White and gray pair perfectly with a contemporary style, but thanks to the neutral color scheme, marble can complement any decor. It can also be paired with an elegant style or even look good in rustic kitchens. No matter what style you love, a marble countertop will look great in your kitchen.


Low Maintenance


Marble requires only a small amount of maintenance. You should avoid using abrasive cleansers, and marble should be sealed periodically to ensure it doesn’t absorb stains. Marble is naturally porous, meaning it will easily stain if you spill something on it and it’s not properly sealed. However, in our experience, the seal creates a protective coating between the spill and the stone, which ensures that it will look beautiful for years to come!
