Choosing the Right Stone for Your Style and Space

Selecting the right stone for your countertops or surfaces is a key step in any kitchen or bathroom remodel. The material you choose affects both the look of your space and how well it functions over time. At Evolution Design, we guide homeowners in Cache County through the material selection process so you can make choices you’ll love for years to come.

Start With Your Style and Space

Every home and remodel is unique, so the first step in choosing stone is considering how it will fit within your design. Ask yourself:

  • Do you prefer a classic, understated look or something bold and dramatic?
  • How much daily use will the surfaces see, and what level of maintenance is acceptable?
  • Are you looking for a warm, natural feel or a sleek, modern finish?

Answering these questions will help narrow your options and ensure the stone you select works for both your style and your space.

Learn About Different Material Options

Granite, quartz, marble, and other natural stones each have distinct characteristics, durability, and maintenance needs. Knowing the pros and cons of each material helps you choose one that aligns with your lifestyle.

A great way to start is by exploring the FAQ section and blogs on our website. These resources explain how different stones perform over time and what marks each unique.

Gather Information

Visual inspiration is key to understanding what resonates with you. To get ideas:

  • Browse our gallery to see how various materials look in real spaces.
  • Check platforms like Pinterest, Houzz, and Instagram to collect images of styles, colors, and textures that catch your eye.
  • Save your favorite images to bring with you to your showroom appointment, this helps our team understand your vision quickly.
  • Take our 60 second quiz to get matched with your perfect countertop.

Seeing how stone looks in actual homes can help you decide if you prefer subtle veining, bold patterns, or a smooth, uniform surface.

Visit Our Slab Gallery

Seeing and touching stones in person is one of the most helpful ways to make your selection. Our 10,000 square-foot slab gallery in Smithfield, UT features a wide variety of granite, quartz, and natural stone materials. Experiencing slabs firsthand lets you evaluate color, texture, and overall feel – something that online images alone can’t provide.

You can schedule a private showroom appointment by contacting us via our website. During your visit, our team will guide you through the selection process and help you find the stone that fits your style, space, and lifestyle.

Choosing the right stone is a balance of aesthetics, function, and personal preference. By doing some research, gathering inspiration, and experiencing slabs in person, you’ll select a material that enhances your space and stands the test of time.
