Best Materials for Kitchen Countertops

Picking the best material for your kitchen countertop is key to elevating both the usability and style of your culinary space. Here is a brief comparison of diverse countertop materials, to help you pick the best!

• Quartz Kitchen Countertops

Quartz kitchen countertops are an admired choice due to their longevity and minimal maintenance. Made from engineered stone, they do not get stains and scratches, making them excellent for busy kitchens. They come in diverse colours and patterns. For example, sleek white quartz kitchen countertops add a contemporary touch to your kitchen. However, quartz can be pricier compared to other options and may not have the same natural feel as stone.

• Marble Kitchen Countertops

Marble kitchen countertops are known for their unfading charm and elegance. Each marble slab is unique, with striking veining patterns that can make a kitchen look lavish. They are heat-resistant and ideal for baking and cooking areas. However, marble is more penetrable and can stain easily, so it requires regular sealing and attentive maintenance. It is also one of the most costly materials.

• Tile Kitchen Countertops

Tile kitchen countertops offer versatility and cost-effectiveness. You can choose from a range of materials, including ceramic and granalt, and create custom patterns and colours. Whether you wish to have an elegant stone kitchen platform or a dramatic black kitchen countertop that requires minimal maintenance, tiles are the best pick! Also, tiles are easy to replace if damaged and can resist heat and stain. 

Each material has its own charm and utility. Quartz provides durability and a modern look while marble offers elegance and uniqueness. Tiles offer durability and refined looks of quartz and elegance of marble, along with customisation and cost-effectiveness. Further, Orientbell Tiles is here to help you find the perfect countertop material that fits your style and needs!

Kitchen Platform Side Design Ideas

The kitchen platform is the blank canvas that allows you to breathe life into your culinary space. That’s why Orientbell Tiles recommends thoughtful tile choices for your kitchen platform design to blend style and usability. Different tiles can be incorporated in different platform layout designs, depending on your kitchen’s layout. 

Let’s explore some kitchen platform design ideas, along with their standard kitchen counter measurements. 

• Open-Plan Kitchen Platform Layout: 

Every open-plan kitchen layout emphasises clean lines and minimalistic design to maintain an open feel. For this platform layout, the standard countertop height is 90 cm, ensuring optimal comfort. Also, the counter depth typically should range from 60 cm to 65 cm, providing ample workspace while maintaining ease of access. You can opt for sleek countertops with Orientbell Tiles’s tiles, like Granalt Statuario, and integrated appliances to enhance functionality.

• U-Shaped Kitchen Platform Layout:

U-shaped kitchen platform layouts maximise workspace and storage with three sides of countertops. To create a functioning kitchen platform, you should ensure the standard height is around 90 cm for comfort, and consider adding cabinets below for extra storage. Also, try to keep the counter depth between 60 and 65 cm. The adequate spacing between the sides, ideally 120 cm to 150 cm, allows for smooth movement and functionality within the layout. For an elegant kitchen top design, you can combine our Granalt Royal Black, which can be further paired with complimentary backsplash tile designs, like Super Gloss Portoro Gold Marble and white cabinets. 

• One-Wall Kitchen Platform Layout:

Perfect for smaller spaces, this kitchen platform design uses one wall for all appliances and counters. Try to keep the countertop height at 90 cm for ergonomic ease while the counter depth should be between 60 cm and 65 cm. Combine minimalist countertop tile designs like our Granalt SNP White, paired with an eye-catchy backsplash tile design, like DR Decor Protea Flower Art and subtle floor tiles like DR DGVT Mystery Taupe Grey. Also, ensure the kitchen platform layout maximises vertical space with cabinets to keep the area functional and organised, optimising the single-wall design.

• L-shaped kitchen Platform Layout with an Island:

Combine an L-shaped layout with a central island to add more counter space and create a focal point. For this design, try to maintain a standard counter height of 90 cm for both sections. The island can be slightly lower or higher, depending on your needs. Also, you must ensure the L-shaped counters have a depth of 60-65 cm, providing ample workspace and maintaining comfortable movement around the island. You can pick our Granalt SNP White for your L-shaped countertop and the island’s platform. To elevate the kitchen platform side design and flooring, you can pick our DR Decor Moroccan Art BlackWhite, paired with soft-toned wooden cabinets.

• L-Shaped Kitchen Platform Layout:

The L-shaped kitchen platform design offers a practical layout with an L-shaped countertop. It integrates both storage and work areas if you maintain the standard kitchen counter height - 90 cm height for ease of use. Make sure the counter depth is between 60 and 65 cm, and there is sufficient space between the two legs of the L-shape, which is typically around 120 cm, for easy movement and well-organised workflow in the kitchen. For the countertop, you can opt for Granalt SNP Grey, which looks excellent when paired with dark-toned wooden cabinets and luxurious wall and floor tile designs, like DR PGVT Elegant Marble Gold Vein.
