Burning Question: Counter Intelligence?
When it comes to kitchen counters, which material do you like best? Are you a sucker for natural stone options like granite or marble? Or manmade materials like Corian and Silestone? Do you love the charming and rustic look of butcher block or tile? Or adore the eco-friendly stuff like recycled glass and sustainable bamboo? Is sleek stainless steel or industrial poured concrete more your speed? Or do you like the easy care and low cost of laminate? How about a combination (like a butcher block island with marble counters)? So many choices, so little time…
We’re itching to hear where you stand on the issue. In fact, we whipped up this handy little poll to keep everything tabulated:

We’d love to hear more about why you voted the way you did, so feel free to comment away with more details.

I love lots of options! We just replaced outdated green laminate tops for some sleek Solid Surface LG Hi-Macs. I love them! They are low maintenance, cost-effective, and so many people think they are granite! I’m very happy with our choice
We live in Canada where laminate counters seem to rule.
We put a quartz counter top called “concrete” on our white gloss cabinets and white extra long subway tile backsplash kitchen reno about 2 years ago. We love it, there is no maintenance, which is important in a house with a husband who works out of town for weeks at a time, 3 boys under 5 and one on the way, and when I chipped it you can’t see because it’s solid.
We’re currently in the design stage of our next, and forever, home and we both fully intend to put the same counter in again.
I’ll never understand tile counters, I’d honestly rather have laminate, too much work (and they don’t typically look very good anyway)!
