What’s hot in countertops:
“The hot trends in hard surfaces continue to be marble lookalikes such as quartzite and manufactured quartz. This super-clean yet classic look is always popular and never goes out of style.” That said, Angela encourages: Don’t be shy about exploring other looks. “For hard surfaces, the sky is the limit!”
