Kitchen countertops change everything
One of the questions we hear is whether a kitchen can be remodeled without breaking down walls, changing layouts, or moving gas and electrical lines. Enter the countertop. It’s more than a place to prepare food and house small appliances; it determines a kitchen's proportion, scale, and color.
Countertops can either make a strong design statement and become the room's focal point or offer a quiet, subtle, serene atmosphere. They’re available in many materials, but there are ten most popular ones. Granite is elegant, durable while soapstone has a smooth, silky feeling and a deep color that gives the kitchen an antique look. Marble has a unique veining with no two slabs ever being alike and quartz incomes in various colors and veining options. Solid surfacing is a marble-like product available in many colors.
Other popular choices include tile, affordable, durable, easy to clean, and highly designed. Laminates are inexpensive and now available in many design options. Wood and butcher block offers a charming country feeling. Stainless steel has a modern industrial look like concrete, another popular counter material that can also be tinted in many colors.

Bathroom cabinets and sinks go hand-in-hand
The bathroom cabinet (vanity) usually includes a countertop, sink, and a place to store toiletries. There are six basic cabinets: free-standing, pedestal, floating, vessel, undermount sink, and cabinet. It’s important to consider all of the components, especially the sink when choosing a vanity because not everything will work together.
For instance, the classic pedestal sink can be either floor or wall mounted. The pedestal sink, combined with a cantilever cabinet, is an especially good bathroom choice with limited space. Only the floor-mounted pedestal, however, works here. The vessel sink creates a unique vanity, but it requires both a special faucet and a drain system. Also, under-mounted sinks cannot be installed with cabinets that have either plastic laminate or tile countertops.
