Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

Though granite countertops aren’t likely to go out of style any time soon, they’re certainly not your only choice when remodeling the kitchen. If you like the idea of natural stone but want something a little warmer than granite, you could check into slate countertops.

The Woodland Jade slate shown here is manufactured by RMG Stone, and it’s promised to be stain-resistant and immune to bacteria. It also resists etching from wine and other acid-containing foods and drinks. Honed to a smooth but not shiny finish, slate is often considered warmer and more homey than cold granite. Long-lasting and low-maintenance, slate is comparable in price to granite, Corian, and other high-end countertop options.
