So I grew up thinking granite was the ultimate countertop material. It was in all the fancy kitchens, and everyone who renovated in the 2000s seemed obsessed with it. But now I’m hearing mixed things—some say it’s too much maintenance, others say it’s not as “in style” anymore. I’m about to redo my kitchen, and I don’t want to make a decision that feels outdated or regret it in a couple of years. For those of you who’ve lived with granite for a while, do you still love it? Or do you wish you’d gone with quartz or something more modern?

I lived with granite for more than a decade, and here’s my honest take: it’s strong, and every slab is unique, which is cool. But the constant sealing and worrying about oil or wine stains wore me down. I also noticed that the busy patterns of granite can feel dated compared to the sleek look of today’s quartz. When we bought a new house, we switched to quartz, and it felt like moving into the future. Quartz is low-maintenance, comes in so many styles (from classic to bold), and it really gives that modern vibe without the stress. If you’re curious about what’s trending now, I’d say browse through https://ps-countertops.com/ — that’s where I found inspiration, and it totally changed my mind about what “modern” countertops can look like.
