When it comes to remodeling your kitchen or bathroom in 2025, countertops are taking center stage. Homeowners in the South Puget Sound from Lacey to Tacoma to Olympia are looking for surfaces that aren’t just practical, but bold, beautiful, and eco-friendly. At Tops Countertops, we’ve seen a wave of new styles and materials that are shaping design choices for the year ahead.
Here are the countertop trends you’ll want to watch.
Bold Veining: Countertops as Centerpieces
Forget subtle. This year is all about countertops that make a statement. Dramatic veining, sweeping patterns, and expressive colors are turning islands and backsplashes into works of art. Waterfall edges with bold-veined quartz or quartzite are especially popular in modern South Puget Sound homes.
Textured Finishes: Style with Substance
Shiny polished countertops aren’t the only option anymore. Homeowners are choosing honed, matte, and leathered finishes for their unique tactile feel and everyday practicality. Textured surfaces minimize fingerprints and smudges while adding depth and sophistication. In a busy kitchen, that’s a win-win.
Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Choices
In the Pacific Northwest, sustainability matters. That’s why eco-conscious materials are on the rise in 2025.
- Porcelain slabs: Ultra-durable, heat-resistant, UV-resistant, and fully recyclable.
- Recycled quartz and terrazzo: Stylish while reducing waste.
- Locally sourced natural stone: Supports the community and reduces shipping impact.
For South Sound homeowners, choosing sustainable surfaces is a way to align design with values.
Mixed Materials & Layered Textures
Designers are now blending materials for maximum impact. Imagine pairing a bold-veined quartzite island with sleek porcelain perimeter counters, or mixing leathered granite with a polished quartz backsplash. The mix of textures and tones creates a dynamic, custom look that feels fresh and timeless.
Why These Trends Work for You
- Visual impact: Bold veining becomes the centerpiece of your kitchen or bath.
- Practical benefits: Textured finishes hide wear and tear.
- Eco-friendly options: Porcelain and recycled materials deliver durability and sustainability.
- Personalization: Mixed materials make your space uniquely yours.
