Do you find your kitchen old and shabby? Maybe it’s due for a renovation. You can come up with a wide range of designs for your countertops to breathe some life into the space. Fortunately for you, anyone can brighten up their space. There’s no wrong time to change how your kitchen looks. If you’re looking for the best home kitchen countertop ideas then you need not look further, because Floor Center’s tiles have got you covered. Check out some of the tiles that you may love.

Natural stone-look LF6708

At some point in your life, you’ll come across kitchen styles that are able to tread the fine balance between natural and contemporary looks. Well now’s your chance to achieve that! The natural stone look of the LF6708 offers a sleek finish for your home without breaking the bank.

The LF6708 appears to have a fun, galactic design that you’ll surely love. Its beauty is enhanced by the lovely streaks of rose gold that surround the tile’s jet black color. Though the two colors belong to opposite sides of the design spectrum, what you’ll get is a perfectly-complemented look that simply works.

If you want to complete the look add a black subway tile backsplash with the 07NDH1. This kitchen countertop tile is also best paired with white Shaker-style cabinets and drawers that can give your kitchen a more classic, yet contemporary feel. Finish off your space by adding a much-needed undermount stainless steel sink and adorn the countertop with a fresh new set of stainless steel appliances.

Black and gold LF6810

If you’re not really a fan of rose gold-colored detailing, then you may want to take a look at the LF6810. Much like the first tile on the list, this 60×60 tile would be the perfect addition to a newly-transformed kitchen space. This tile not only scores high on the design but also in functionality. It’s stain-resistant, meaning that any spill or dirt on the tile can easily be cleaned in just a few steps.

With its gold streaks, this countertop tile offers a slightly more yellow metallic look. For lighting fixtures, recessed kitchen lighting goes well with these countertops. Warm white light can easily provide a lovely shimmer as it bounces on the tile detailing.

This natural stone-look tile is best furnished with flat-paneled cabinet doors. If you want to add a backsplash, choose a white subway tile like the 12GAW1 for a neat appearance.

Veiny-black style Y1GL25GE

Basic designs don’t necessarily mean bland looks for your kitchen. Instead, their appearance can actually create a simplistic environment with the right styling. For a minimalist kitchen, the Y1GL25GE will do the job for you.

Unlike the first two countertop tiles on the list, the beauty of this black-veined tile stands out better under minimal or low-lighting conditions. When you’re choosing kitchen furnishing such as cabinets, lighting, sinks, it’s best to go for unassuming colors and styles that can still pull-off a rustic, yet modern look.

You may choose louvered wooden cabinets in darker shades. For the lighting, you can play around with the typical cabinet lighting installation, or install a fun spotlight that can enliven the entire space.

White stone-look Y1GL17GE

A departure from the black stone-look tiles that you have encountered in this article, the white stone-look Y1GL17GE makes for a lovely alternative. White-stoned, with minimal black streaks, this is the tile that can bring out the creativity in you.

Light colors like white are usually enhanced by more colorful counterparts, like black, blue, aqua green, or their pastel variations — some colors you might consider if you’re planning on adding a backsplash. The best thing about this tile is that you can play around with your choice of kitchen styles and designs because it’s just so easy to work with. Let’s say for example that you want to achieve a by-the-window kitchen counter layout — you can opt for popular styles like casement windows. Or, you could also go for the unconventional window-types like sliding or garden windows.

Polished black LF6833

The LF6833 polished black tile by Floor Center is similar to the white stone, in terms of the level of detailing, but the difference is that the colors are reversed. This doesn’t mean that you can’t put on the same level of creativity in designing your kitchen space around this countertop tile — but you’ll certainly do well with a few design tips and tricks here and there.

For kitchen furnishings such as cabinets, tables, and chairs, darker black varieties can easily bring out the sleekness of the entire space. Louvered cabinets that are in dark grey color are preferred not only because of their design — the slats present in louvered cabinets offer natural ventilation to create a cooler space despite the dark colors.

As for your lighting, on the other hand, a set of contemporary pendant light fixtures would do well to embrace the look of the countertops.
