The trend in kitchen countertops are big kitchen island with no raised countertops. A solid flat countertop not only flows well it makes your kitchen look larger. But that look is not for everyone!
Some find the raised countertop to be a useful area in the kitchen. Its a great place to eat, an area for kids to do their homework while Mom cooks, and it gives the kitchen an intimate and somewhat private feel which separates the kitchen from the rest of the home. The most important factor to remember is when you makeover your kitchen, design your kitchen to fit your family's lifestyle for a functional work space and daily use.
Mr. and Mrs. Bellmeyer of Menifee wanted to get rid of their old Corian countertops and change the countertop design by adding a raised bar counter. The raised counter wall was constructed and granite counters and backslash were installed by the Southwest Granite team. They love their new kitchen and the raised bar counter is their favorite part of the kitchen!
