Kitchen cupboards near me in Illinois

To achieve an expensive look in your Illinois kitchen, consider deep, sophisticated colors like charcoal gray or navy blue. Rich, dark wood finishes also exude luxury. High-contrast pairings, such as white cabinets with a dark countertop, create a dramatic and elegant feel.

Both quartz and granite are durable and attractive countertop options for Illinois kitchens. Quartz is engineered and non-porous, making it very low maintenance and resistant to stains. Granite is a natural stone with unique variations and can add a classic warmth to your space.

Granite countertops are porous and require periodic sealing to prevent staining and etching. They can also be prone to chipping if heavy items are dropped on them. While beautiful, they need regular care to maintain their pristine appearance.

The material commonly referred to as 'fake granite' is quartz. It's an engineered stone made from crushed quartz crystals mixed with resins. Quartz offers a consistent look, is very durable, and requires less maintenance than natural granite.

The cost of a 10-foot piece of granite countertop varies greatly depending on the specific granite slab, its origin, and the complexity of the fabrication. Installation costs are also a significant factor. We offer a free quote to detail the pricing for your Chicago area home.
