6. Quartz Eclipses Granite
Generally requiring less maintenance than granite, quartz is the number one countertop on the market right now. Since it pairs well with minimalistic design trends with its clean lines and smooth surface it goes better with more modern decor. It's also less porous, more stain resistant, and harder than granite surfaces. This article from Realtor Mag highlights some more details.
7. Marble Makes A Comeback
Not traditionally the best option as a countertop due to high maintenance and high porosity resulting in lots of stains....marble is now being placed everywhere else. Homes that are current on marble trends can really crank up the price and demand that little bit of extra dollar. HGTV details the history of marble and where it's at today.
3. Barn Doors
