We hear a lot about common countertops such as granite and the increasingly popular quartz, but there is another option you may not have thought of before: glass. People have been gravitating toward glass tile backsplashes a lot lately, but glass countertops can also produce some really spectacular results. Though I definitely recommend more common options like granite and quartz for most kitchens, especially where versatility and durability are concerned, if you want something more unique, then glass could be exactly what you are looking for.
Glass countertops typically mimic the look of water, so they are perfect for a fluid, coastal appeal. It offers a very clean, modern look that many are drawn to. For the eco-friendly kitchen, there are even options for recycled glass countertops that offer an entirely different and unique look. Here are 10 examples of spaces transformed by glass countertops.
