Everyone dreams of the perfect kitchen. They all want to toss their laminate counters from the mid-80's and replace them with a warm granite countertop.

Besides granite, however, there are a lot of countertop materials you can use in your kitchen.

(I've got an article, Countertops 101, on our main site that covers a lot of the basics of new kitchen countertop materials - check it out here.)

Here's a quick sample of what's available and what's hot in the latest Kitchen Countertop trends:

Butcher Block or wood counters are made from strips of maple or oak that has been glued together. But just about any hardwood can be made into countertops. Bamboo countertops are the latest trend! Wood counter material has a warm, beautiful look that can come in a variety of shades and textures. It's perfect for people who want to cut directly on the surface of their counter.


Granite countertops are the most popular but also the most expensive. Why? Besides the beautiful surface, granite is extremely heat and scratch resistant. A granite countertop is very durable and will last a long time. A granite countertop will never go out of style and granite slab installation will greatly increase the value of the house.


Stainless Steel Countertops are for more than just restaurants. They've come back in a big way due to the durability, stain and water resistance, low maintenance, a myriad of size and shape choices. It's also very easy to clean and you can put a hot plate or pan on the surface without worry of damaging it.
