It can be tough to settle on a design for your new kitchen remodel. Wherever you go online and search for updates, you can end up down a rabbit hole of social media and influencer suggestions that would give even the best designers a mile headache, However, with all the different trends and weird details available online, one constant remains.

Marble countertops add a sophisticated element to any styled kitchen. It doesn’t matter if you prefer a rustic tone to your country themed house or an elevated appearance to your minimalistic design, using marble is a universal choice. It improves durability, creates a unique look, and adds some timeless beauty to your living space.

Why are Marble Countertops so Popular?

Marble’s lineage as a coveted design element stretches back to ancient civilizations. Great emperors and world-famous architects have often favored it for its pristine elegance. The primary reason for this is the longevity of construction and individualized appearance that means no two pieces will ever be the same. Other reasons include:

• Temperature Control: Marble countertops remain at a constant temperature around 62 degrees Fahrenheit (all things being equal). The durability is high, so even in a baker’s kitchen, you get cool counter spaces to rest and relax with the rest of the family.
• Increase Home Value: Marble countertops are a good blend of attractive design aesthetics and practical function. They look good underneath your Thanksgiving dinner display just as much as hold up to the many glasses, dips, and appetizers from Super Bowl Sunday.
• Design Longevity: If you do end up in a social media loop, notice the age of the people suggesting marble. This is one of those design choices that works well across many styles. The available colors and style options ensure you won’t be making a “decade reliant” choice that looks bad 10, 20, or 30 years down the road.

• Easy Maintenance: Even though we are happy to suggest specialized cleaners, some warm water and a little dab of dish cleaner should do the trick for most spills on marble.

What’s the ideal way to clean marble countertops?

Do marble countertops stain easily?

While marble can be porous, it remains stain-resistant with the proper sealant and timely wipe-down of spills. If you leave some substances unattended for a long period of time, it could stain. Our team can go into details during your estimate.
