Throughout january we re going to be diving into our thoughts of what s on the horizon for all things interior design and the first area we re focusing on is kitchens.
Is granite going out of fashion.
Our suggestion would be to go to a stone showroom and look at granite slabs and pick one that doesn t look like a builders granite.
Granite will not go out of style.
Designers are booting it in favor of alternatives that are cheaper varied and lighter or a mixture of all three.
There are more alternatives than you can imagine waiting to take its place.
It feels like christmas and new years all over again.
The ehd 2019 trend reporting has officially commenced.
Quartz is a little more expensive than granite with prices starting around 45 per square foot but more and more people are favoring it because it s even more stain resistant and durable than granite comes in a much wider variety of colors and has a uniform appearance lacking in natural stone source.
The porous issue can be resolved by sealing the granite surface with a non porous sealant.
Don t waste your kitchen remodel investment on this fading material.
But nothing could be further from the truth.
But the sealant wears off with time wear so the countertop has to be resealed throughout its lifetime.
Granite is on its way out the door in kitchen and bathroom design.
Quartz on the other hand is non porous and does not have to go through regular re sealing.
Now we know the word trend when read more.
It s durable and beautiful if you pick the right slab.
