Tips On Selecting A White Countertop That Will Make Your Kitchen Standout!

1. Carefully consider your design theme -  it's best to keep your design theme in mind in order to achieve a cohesive kitchen that stands out.

2. Stay open to other shades other than white - to get the right color for you, consider looking at other shades, not only white. Why does this make sense?

If your color preference is a white countertop, there could be a shade of beige, brown, green or grey with white highlights that may fit in perfectly well with your kitchen than that white you were considering selecting.

3. Contrast maybe required - to achieve contrast, it's best to take a sample of your kitchen cabinet, flooring, paint sample, crown molding and backsplash with you to your kitchen countertop supply store. You can always try to do everything on your own, but remember it's always cheaper to get things done right the first time. Some home design stores, will do a FREE in home consultation, to save you the time and hassle. The bonus is they usually don't charge extra to ensure your kitchen is beautiful and contrast well. 

4. Get a mock copy - ask your home designer to do a mock of your kitchen with all your finishes. This way, you can get a visual presentation as to what the end product will look like.

5. Decide if you want a kitchen island or breakfast bar upfront -  it's almost always cheaper to get it done with your original install than trying to add or redo later.

Try looking at the Benjamin Moore White Satin!

Hint: It looks more like blue to me. 

Now, my favorite white is the Lido white countertop. I love the brilliance of the white coupled with the hints of shimmering silver sparkle dusk. It's kind of like adding a bit of jewelery to your countertop.
