It can be daunting to think about how much you have to spend on the countertops in your home. Luckily, there are lots of ways to get countertops that look high-end and expensive without breaking the bank. Here are some of my favorites!
Concrete countertops
Concrete countertops are a great choice for your home. They’re easy to make, durable, and affordable.
Concrete is a natural product that has been used as a building material since ancient times. It’s made from sand and gravel mixed with cement, which makes it strong enough to support heavy objects like sinks or stoves. You can also choose from many different colors when you’re making your own concrete countertops – including white or grey tones that look similar to marble or limestone but cost much less than these materials!
Marble-print wallpaper
If you’re looking for affordable DIY countertops that are fantastic, marble-print wallpaper is a great option. Available in a variety of colors and patterns, this versatile material can be installed easily and looks great on any countertop. It’s durable enough to withstand frequent use but also easy to clean–and if you make a mistake during installation or need an extra tile or two (or five), it’s easy enough to replace them with an exact match from your local home improvement store!
White subway tiles, then paint over them.
Another option is to paint over your tiles. To do this, you’ll need paint that’s made for countertops–it should be labeled as such and have the words “ceramic tile” somewhere in its name. Then, use a roller or brush to apply two coats of the new color (you could even mix in some metallic accents for extra glam). If you want to add more variation and depth once everything dries, take an old sponge and dab it into another hue before running it over the surface of each tile; this will give them an aged look without having to spend hours sanding them down yourself!
Silestone (aka quartz) countertops
Silestone or quartz countertops are a great alternative to granite and marble. They’re durable, easy to clean, and less expensive than granite.
The material comes in various colors and textures. You can choose depending on your taste or budget. Silestone is available at most home improvement stores, but if you want something more unique, consider visiting an independent dealer specializing in this type of product.
You can install it yourself or hire a professional installer. It depends on whether or not you have any previous experience with stone materials!
