Your Rooms We Love: Modern Countertop Inspiration
It's full steam ahead for Dwell's first-ever Your Rooms We Love competition, where we're culling photos of readers home to include in an upcoming issue. This week on Instagram, we want to see your countertops; here are eight modern Dwell counters for inspiration.
Pros: Marble is elegant, heat resistant, and comes in a range of colors.
Cons: Its high price, especially for more unusual types like Calacatta marble (known for its purer white and bolder veining compared to more common marble like Carrara), means that it isn’t an option for everyone. It is also quite high maintenance, requiring regular resealing.
Choosing a kitchen or bathroom countertop can be nerve-wracking, and we understand why—they can be one of the most expensive aspects of a renovation, with the added responsibility of impacting the aesthetics of a space. Read on as we work our way through the pros and cons of seven of the most common countertop materials.
