A Guide to Your Perfect Countertop
A Guide to Your Perfect Countertop
We spend a lot of time in our kitchens, even when we are not cooking! And for a lot of us, it is the heart of the home. It is a space where we gather to enjoy our morning coffee or where our children setup their arts and crafts station. Our kitchens wear many hats and should be designed with materials to withstand our lifestyle.
With all the countertop options out there today, it can be tough to know what material is going to be best for you and your home. At Oasis Kitchens, we are all about providing carefully selected options, chosen by our design professionals, to take the guesswork out of creating your dream kitchen.
Clean and Modern, Rustic and Natural, or Sleek and Industrial?
Our countertop collection is rich in details and natural characteristics; inspired by textures and designs from European Marble to West Coast Pine. Our styles are unique, just like your space, so explore through our curated collection below to discover which one suits your personality and lifestyle.
Timeless Marble
For centuries, marble has been a hallmark of luxury and elegance. Big movement of large, broad veins create a distinctive pattern that is dramatic yet delicate in details. From contemporary to traditional, the versatility of classic white marble, like our Calcutta Blanc and Volakas Marble, work well with just about any design style. Veins of muted taupes and greys add an organic feel, while the cool white hues amplify light into your space. Paired with any of our Canvas Collection Cabinets, this is the ideal combination for a timeless design.
For a bolder statement, the Black Amani countertop is the perfect solution. Thin, subtle veins provide depth and variation throughout the design for a sleek and sophisticated feel. We love that this black marble option is not limited to just modern spaces as well. This ink surface compliments any wood texture, such as our Kitsilano Cabinets, in more traditional settings.
Texture, texture, texture
Adding interesting design features and focal points to your kitchen is a great way to add personality into your space. With our textured countertops, enjoy a fresh and unique way to elevate the overall experience of your design. Great for industrial and rustic spaces, the Distressed Pine and Rugged Steel countertops work well at full scale or as an accent on an island. Best paired with our Linen and Craft Cabinets or Reflections Collection, stand out from the ordinary with these contemporary yet inviting countertops.
Everyday Favourites
Neutral countertop palettes of soft grey accents and warm, muted earth tones are often popular because of their ability to compliment a wide range of cabinet colours and kitchen design styles. The perfect subtle and simple base to play with bold elements or layers of textures, the Sterling Calcutta, Taj Mahal, and Soapstone Mist are our most versatile countertops that will help tie together your ideal kitchen. While it’s tough to suggest which cabinet collection would work best with these neutral favourites, we recommend Chalk if you want effortless beauty that gives your space a simple yet enticing look or Seaside for those that wish to play with texture and create a cozier, more inviting space.
