Affordable Kitchen Countertops that Look Luxurious
Whether your kitchen is dated and just doesn’t speak to your style, or it’s worn-out and tired, if you’re thinking about remodeling the space, there’s one element that you’re definitely going to want to upgrade: the countertops. Since they take up so much room and they’re one of the most visible components, countertops have a direct impact on a kitchen’s design. As such, if you want to breathe some new life into the space, replacing the existing countertops is a great way to do just that.
Though you would definitely love to update your kitchen countertops, there’s just one problem: your budget. While it’s true that some types of countertop materials are pricy, not all of them are. There are lots of affordable options that look great, too. Here’s a look at some countertop materials that prove you don’t have to sacrifice beauty for your budget – or your budget for beauty.
Quartz
A form of engineered stone, quartz countertops are made of finely ground bits of stone, and plastic resins are used to bind the pieces together, creating a hard, durable, and beautiful surface. At a price of about $50 to $150 per square foot, quartz countertops are also very budget-friendly.
Engineered Stone
Made of quartz crystals that are held together with a resin binder, engineered stone has a similar appearance and texture to natural stone; however, unlike natural stone – granite or marble, for example – engineered stone is a lot more affordable. Not only do they look luxurious, but they’re also quite durable.Â
Recycled Glass
If you’re looking for countertops that have a truly unique appearance, yet won’t break the bank, recycled glass is a great choice. Made of broken down the glass from items normally placed in curbside containers and demolished buildings, which is combined with resin or cement binders, creating a slab that can be used as a countertop. The finished product is a beautiful mosaic that is simply stunning. Not only are they eco-friendly, durable, and breathtakingly beautiful, they’re also affordably priced.
