When you’re designing a kitchen, one of the big decisions you have to make is what type of material you’re going to use. Start by asking yourself what your theme is going to be.

If you’re looking for a modern look – consider incorporating stainless steel throughout the kitchen.

If your goal is to design a durable kitchen -- think about installing a tile backsplash and a hard-wearing countertop material like granite or concrete.

Below are some more tips to help you design a kitchen countertop that will work for you:
