Countertops That Elevate: Choosing the Right Surface for Style & Function

Countertops are more than just workspaces — they’re one of the most impactful design choices you can make in a custom home. Whether you're building a brand-new kitchen or upgrading your bathrooms, the right countertop can elevate both the style and function of your home.

At Stewart Custom Homes, we help homeowners across Colleyville, Southlake, Westlake, Dallas, Argyle, Bartonville, and Fort Worth, TX choose countertops that make a statement while standing up to the demands of daily life.

The Centerpiece of Every Space

In kitchens, bathrooms, bars, and laundry rooms, countertops serve as visual anchors that bring the whole design together. With so many materials, colors, and finishes to choose from, selecting the right surface is all about balancing aesthetics with practicality.

Here are a few of the top luxury countertop materials we’re seeing in high-end homes across North Texas:

🔹 Quartz

Why we love it: Durable, low-maintenance, and available in endless colors and patterns — quartz is a designer favorite for modern, sophisticated spaces.Perfect for: Busy families and entertainers who want the look of marble without the upkeep.

🔹 Granite

Why we love it: Every slab is one-of-a-kind. Granite brings natural beauty and timeless appeal to any room.Perfect for: Traditional or rustic-style homes in places like Argyle or Bartonville, where organic textures shine.

🔹 Marble

Why we love it: Marble exudes luxury. Its natural veining and soft finish make it a standout feature in kitchens and baths.Perfect for: High-impact spaces like a powder bath vanity or a dramatic kitchen island in your Dallas custom home.

🔹 Quartzite

Why we love it: Stronger than granite, but with the elegance of marble. Quartzite is quickly becoming a top choice for upscale builds.Perfect for: Open-concept kitchens and waterfall islands in homes throughout Southlake and Westlake.

Design Tips for Choosing Countertops:

• Think contrast: Pair dark countertops with light cabinets (or vice versa) for bold visual impact.

• Don’t forget the edge profile: A mitered or waterfall edge can take your countertops to the next level.

• Match the vibe: Sleek quartz for a modern look, warm granite for traditional charm, or dramatic marble for statement spaces.
