In earlier times, the kitchen used to be set up away from the house, sometimes in the back where no one could see it. This was probably because it was a high traffic area even back then. But with the development of society, the views changed and today, the kitchen happens to be the heart of the house! 

With remarkable trends in recent years, people today spend significant amounts designing and renovating the kitchen. There are numerous materials to choose when it comes to constructing or remodeling the kitchen.

 Let us delve into a few notable materials for renovating the kitchen:

• The cabinets

When it comes to the cabinets of the kitchen, the preferred choice is wood. Wood comes in numerous designs, styles and qualities. Oak wood, cherry wood, red maple wood and pine wood are some of the common materials that are considered while designing the kitchen cabinets. These are well-polished, highly durable and resistant to stains and decay. 

In recent years, materials such as thermofoil or high-end laminate are also considered useful for the cabinets.

• The countertops

For the countertops, you want high quality and durable materials as this is where the food preparation happens. So, it has to be a strong surface. For this purpose, natural stones such as granite, marble, or quartz can be considered. These are expensive, but quite durable. For a cheaper option, one can consider laminate or stainless steel. While laminate is budget-friendly, stainless steel offers a professional look.

So, before setting your heart on a certain style, it is wise to understand the purpose and quality of materials. 

• Backsplash

So, when you go about choosing materials for kitchen backsplash, keep in mind that it must be easy to clean, heat and water resistant. For this purpose, stainless steel, quartz, granite or marble can be sought. Tiles and composite can also be considered for that matter.
