Waterfall Countertop 101: What Exactly Is It-And How to Decide If It's Right for You
"Whether you're a waterfall countertop superfan and think they turn kitchen islands into beautiful natural stone focal points, or you hate them and feel they're the contemporary kitchen version of the mullet, there's no denying that we're seeing waterfall kitchen islands everywhere these days. (And even the mullet has arguably come back in style, so go figure.) When it comes to zeroing in on your ideal kitchen countertop design,"
"Waterfall countertops look like countertops that forgot to stop at the edge. Instead of ending where the legs or supporting sides of the countertop are, these appear to cascade down over the side of the island and onto the floor. This effect of the waterfall countertop design concept is what earns it its name: The countertop appears to have a continuous flow from its horizontal surface to the vertical sides-creating the "fall" effect of a waterfall."
Waterfall countertops extend the countertop surface down the vertical sides of an island or cabinet to meet the floor, producing a continuous, cascading appearance. The design creates a seamless, dramatic edge and can be executed in a wide range of materials, including granite, quartz, white marble, and stainless steel. Selecting a waterfall countertop requires attention to stone type, color, placement, contrasting paint choices and budget because material use and installation affect cost. The waterfall treatment can create a strong focal point on kitchen islands and can also be applied in other rooms for a bold, cohesive look.
