Good-looking countertops — whether made of marble, limestone, or concrete — create high-functioning bathrooms that spill over with style. These popular countertop materials are sure to inspire a bathroom remodel.
Beige Marble
Marble introduces a sense of richness well-suited to elegant bathroom designs. Create a serene scene by choosing a marble countertop a shade lighter or darker than adjacent cabinetry. Although this beige marble countertop partners with the vanity and backsplash for a cohesive outlook, the countertop’s curving edge allows it to stand out as a distinctive detail.
Brown Granite
Brown granite, with its creamy beiges and coffee-hued specks, prevents a furniture-like vanity from appearing heavy. The countertop material is dark enough to pop off white wainscoting, yet stays in sync with this bathroom’s other surfaces, including rich wood flooring and grasscloth-covered upper walls.
Limestone
Polished limestone countertops set bathrooms aglow. They supply a luxurious look, a scintillating shine, and subtle patterns that complement nickel and chrome fixtures, weathered silvered finishes, and light-toned cabinets. Limestone is softer than granite and marble and may need sealing when used as a countertop in busy bathrooms.
Glass
Glass bathroom countertops amplify light and expand spatial perceptions — especially when paired with a see-through vanity and translucent vessel sink. Surf colors and a raised installation give this glass configuration a pumped-up presence; exposed plumbing and a statuesque faucet contribute contemporary contours.
Black Marble
As timeless and classy as a tuxedo, black marble countertops shine when paired with white vanity cabinets. Opt for polished marble if you want a high-end look; honed or tumbled finishes work nicely in casual, country, and cottage bathrooms.
Green Marble
Honed green marble creates bathroom countertops with an old-world outlook. Green marble boasts significant veins in various shades that work well with weathered patinas and antique accessories. Its deep tones complement metal accents, such as black wrought-iron sconces, copper chandeliers, and bronze faucets.
Travertine
Travertine is a sedimentary rock generally formed by mineral spring deposits, which give the stone its characteristic pattern. Honed travertine countertops, like this rounded beauty, remain popular for their low-reflective qualities that play nicely with tiled accents and textured wall coverings.
White Granite
This white granite countertop captivates thanks to thick gray veining with distinctive spots and lines. Unlike earth-tone granites, white granite is a clean, crisp surface that lightens a space, works nicely with dark cabinets, and complements polished chrome fixtures and hardware.
