When planning a kitchen renovation, the first thing that many homeowners want to do is replace the existing countertops.

Countertops are the focal point of most kitchens. Dated, worn countertops can really detract from the overall look and feel of a kitchen.

Unfortunately, many of the most popular materials for modern kitchen countertops can be quite costly. If you’re renovating on a budget, it’s important to seek out affordable kitchen countertop options.

Laminate countertops can provide the perfect balance between affordability and style in kitchen design.


About Laminate Countertops

While expensive stone and solid surface countertops are very popular and get a lot of attention in home decorating magazines and television shows, they are not the only option. Many homeowners choose laminate countertops for both new construction and renovation design. As a matter of fact, laminate is one of the most popular countertop materials in the United States.

When it comes to affordability and value, you really can’t beat laminate kitchen countertops. Many people associate laminate countertops with 1970s décor themes featuring gold stars and other dated patterns. However, you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you look at today’s laminate options. Modern laminate countertops are very attractive and contemporary in design.

 

Benefits of Laminate Countertops

In addition to the fact that they are relatively easy on the budget, laminate countertops provide a variety of additional advantages. For example, they are durable and very simple to maintain. Laminate countertops can last for years, and don’t require any special care. They can easily be cleaned with mild soap and water.

They are also easy to source and install. Most major home improvement warehouses offer a wide selection of in-stock and special order laminate surfaces. Laminate countertops are available in many different colors and designs, so it’s easy to find exactly what you need to coordinate perfectly with your kitchen décor. It’s hard to tell some of the best quality pieces from actual granite countertop surfaces.

Savvy do-it-yourselfers can often handle installing laminate countertops on their own. If you’re adventurous enough to try the installation on your own, you can find what you need at your favorite hardware store and get to work any time you want. Of course, professional installation is also available.

When you’re looking for a way to give your kitchen a thorough facelift on a budget, it’s in your best interest to investigate the benefits of laminate countertops. You’re sure to find the perfect design option to give your kitchen the look you want without having to spend a fortune.

About Us

RandyI started as a home-stalker... visiting brand new homes under construction in the neighborhoods near my house. That inspired me to write about home building and home renovation projects -- chronicling homes during different phases of construction from a consumer's point-of-view. Basically, the tips you'll find in my articles are a collection of checklists for what I think should (and should not) go into building or remodeling a quality home.

LynnetteMy husband and I have been through the home building process... from scratch... more than once! (And we still have a few pieces of property that we might build on in the future.) So we definitely have some helpful tips to share when it comes to designing your dream home and building a house from the ground up. We've also learned that the 'fun' doesn't end once the house is built. Our clever home maintenance hacks will save you time and money each year that you live in the home. And... since everyone's house eventually needs a little remodeling (as has ours), we've got some ridiculously helpful home renovation tips as well! Whenever I’m not DIYing something around the house or adding to my Dream Home Wish List, you can find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
