Kitchen worktop trends to look out for in 2023

When it comes to selecting the best kitchen worktops to suit your needs, knowing where to get started can be difficult. In 2023, we predict that the already diverse catalogue of materials and styles on offer will only continue to grow, providing ample choice for those looking to refresh or entirely redesign their kitchen space.

We’ve noticed that the latest trends in kitchen worktop design focus on creating sleek, functional surfaces that are both stylish and practical. From customisable quartz to versatile porcelain surfaces, here are some of the top kitchen worktop trends to look out for in 2023.

Customise with quartz worktops:

For 2023, quartz countertops should be at the top of your list when deciding on which type of stone kitchen surface to install. Quartz is highly durable, low-maintenance yet luxurious looking, perfect for an entertaining and cooking space. According to Forbes, quartz is currently “one of the most desirable high-end countertop materials available.”

As it is a manufactured material, quartz is also available in a wide range of colours and styles. When browsing the catalogues of your local quartz dealers, we’re certain you’ll be impressed by the variety on offer.

Quartz worktops won’t chip or crack easily; making them a great choice for those who want a modern look that will stand the test of time. With proper care and very light maintenance, not only can you enjoy its strength and beauty for years to come, but you’ll also benefit from added value to your home that quartz provides!

Consider Dekton for indoor and outdoor projects:

In particular, they are especially popular for commercial properties due to their high durability and minimal maintenance requirements. 

What’s more, the endless catalogue of Dekton styles and colours provides the perfect accompaniment for any kitchen design. So when it comes to selecting a worktop material suitable for your dream kitchen in 2023, consider investing in bespoke Dekton kitchen countertops.

Antimicrobial surfaces:

Homeowners have become increasingly mindful of the need for a hygienic home, now that the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of a safe and clean environment. 

One way to ensure peace of mind is by installing quartz worktops in kitchens, as quartz is naturally antimicrobial, meaning that it helps resist the growth of disease-causing bacteria. 

As they are also non porous, quartz surfaces are easy to maintain and wipe down with antimicrobial cleaners – perfect for germ-free areas of your home where you should feel secure and safe. 

The natural vibrancy and polished finish of quartz mean increased hygiene without needing to compromise on style.

Cost-effective solutions:

For those looking to renovate or upgrade their kitchen without breaking the bank, Quartz is a cost-effective countertop and worktop solution. 

When compared to natural materials such as granite and marble, quartz is slightly cheaper in price, however the greatest savings lie in the durability and the lack of time required to maintain it.

Suppliers of quartz offer generous manufacturer warranties, providing you with extra peace of mind. 

Sustainable materials in 2023:

As we all become more conscious of our carbon footprint and the effects we have on the environment, it’s no surprise that the stone kitchen surface industry is looking to promote environmentally friendly materials for worktops and countertops.

Quartz is one of our top choices due to its natural durability and its ability to be recycled. Unlike other materials, quartz’s versatility means it won’t have to be replaced any time soon, making it an attractive option for those who want a greener home without having to sacrifice on décor choices.

Quartz worktops have stylish finishes and look beautiful in any kitchen design; plus, they have minimal impact on the environment, making them an excellent choice if you are looking for ways to be more eco-friendly with your home design.

Up-and-coming edge profiles:

Edge profiles are a decorative element that can be added to kitchen countertops to give them a more personalised look.

Striking waterfall panels will likely become an increasingly popular choice for kitchen décor over the course of 2023. They add visual length to a countertop as well as an alternating texture, making them as eye-catching as they are practical. 

Popular edges include pencil edges, bevelled edges, ogee edges and dupont edges.

As we move into 2023, cost-effective and easy-to-care-for kitchen worktops will be more popular than ever. Homeowners are looking for ways to save money without sacrificing style, and at the same time ensure that the materials they use are also eco-friendly and sustainable.
