The Property Brothers’ Secret to Elevating an Ordinary Kitchen: A Sleek Countertop Finish



“Property Brothers” stars and twin brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott are known for their innovative remodeling ideas, continuously pushing the design envelope since their first HGTV show in 2011. Over the past decade, the Scott brothers have showcased many design trends to keep their renovations fresh and cutting-edge. Attention to small details elevates a space above the ordinary, making each renovation unique.

When it comes to big-ticket items like kitchen countertops, it’s essential to make a statement. The Property Brothers suggest considering a matte finish for a unique twist on a classic look. Drew Scott mentioned in an interview with Realtor.com that a matte finish on a quartz countertop can create a chic and high-end aesthetic. Discover different types of matte countertop finishes to consider for your next kitchen remodeling project.



Showcase a smooth honed or textured matte countertop finish instead of the typical polished sheen

There are three main types of countertop sheens: polished, honed, and textured finishes. Polished countertops are the most common, with a glossy sheen. Alternatively, honed and textured matte finishes offer a unique look. Honed granite provides a smooth, less reflective surface, favored by Drew Scott for its modern chic vibe. Textured finishes like leathered or brushed add a unique matte surface but require more maintenance than polished options. Consider a matte finish for your next remodel.
