What to Know Before You Choose Your Countertops5 Key Decisions That Make a Big Difference

Choosing countertops sounds simple—until you're standing in front of a wall of stone slabs, unsure where to start. Don’t worry. At Kitchen Cosmetics, we walk our clients through every option, because your countertops aren’t just functional—they’re foundational to the look and feel of your space.

Here are a few key decisions to consider before you commit:


1. Know Your Stone

Granite. Quartz. Marble. Each material has its strengths.

  • Granite is durable, natural, and comes in a variety of patterns.

  • Quartz is engineered for consistency and low maintenance.

  • Marble is timeless and luxurious—but more delicate.

We’ll help you balance form and function based on how you live.


2. Consider Color and Movement

Do you want clean and subtle, or bold with drama?Lighter stones open up small spaces, while darker tones bring contrast and elegance. Veining, speckles, and swirls all affect the mood of the room. We always recommend viewing full slabs in person when possible—what you see in a sample isn’t the whole story.


3. Don’t Overlook the Edges

Edge profiles add personality.A crisp eased edge keeps things modern, while a classic ogee adds a touch of tradition. We offer several options (and even have a visualizer tool on our Services page). The right edge can elevate your entire design.


4. Think Beyond the Kitchen

Countertops aren’t just for kitchens.We help homeowners and pros outfit vanities, outdoor kitchens, fireplace surrounds—even custom tabletops. If it needs stone, we can cut it.


5. Ask About the Process

We measure and template every project by hand.Dave personally comes out to your home or jobsite, ensuring precision from day one. We’ll walk you through stone selection, fabrication, delivery, and install—so there are no surprises.
