Start by asking yourself how often you cook, what kind of meals you make, and how messy things get during prep and cleanup.
Decide how much you can spend, including material, labor, and any upgrades like custom edges or a matching backsplash.
Bring home a few samples to see how they look with your lighting, cabinets, wall color, and floor.
Some surfaces feel soft and warm, while others are smooth, cool, or textured with ridges that collect dirt or crumbs.
Some countertops need sealing, oiling, or gentle cleaners, while others can take anything and still look great.
