Luxury Finishes for Kitchens: How to Choose the Right Countertops, Backsplashes, and More

When planning a kitchen remodel, the materials you choose will play a critical role in both the aesthetic and performance of your space. Countertops, backsplashes, hardware, and other finishes aren’t just decorative, they’re the surfaces you’ll interact with every day. Selecting the right luxury finishes can elevate your kitchen’s look, increase its functionality, and add long-term value to your home. At Sunnyfields Cabinetry, we help homeowners make thoughtful, informed decisions about these high-impact details, blending beauty with durability for spaces that feel as good as they look.

Why Finish Selections Matter

Kitchens are the heart of the home and one of the most used areas in your daily routine. That’s why finishes need to stand up to wear while still delivering a polished, cohesive design. Luxury doesn’t necessarily mean flashy. It means quality materials that are crafted to last, feel good to the touch, and maintain their beauty over time.

Whether you’re drawn to a sleek modern look or a warm, traditional aesthetic, our professional designers help guide you through the finish selection process, making sure that each surface complements the next while also meeting your lifestyle needs.

Choosing the Right Countertop Material

Countertops are a major focal point in any kitchen, and their material selection should reflect both your style and the way you use your space. Some of the most popular luxury countertop materials we work with include:

• Quartzite – A natural stone with stunning veining and excellent durability. Resistant to heat and scratches, it’s ideal for homeowners seeking elegance and resilience.
• Quartz – Engineered for performance, quartz is non-porous and low-maintenance, making it perfect for busy households that don’t want to sacrifice style.
• Marble – Timeless and beautiful, marble adds unmatched sophistication. While it requires more care, it’s a worthwhile investment for those who love a classic, luxurious look.
• Dekton or Porcelain Slabs – Ultra-durable and available in large-format sizes, these options create sleek, modern surfaces with minimal seams.

At Sunnyfields, we help you evaluate your needs, cooking habits, maintenance expectations, and aesthetic preferences to find the countertop that’s right for you.

Designing a Statement Backsplash

A backsplash is more than just a protective surface, it’s a major design opportunity. From hand-glazed tiles to large-scale stone slabs, backsplashes can add texture, color, and visual drama to your kitchen. Whether you want a full-height marble backsplash behind your range or an artisan tile with character, we’ll help you choose a material that elevates the entire room.

We also ensure the backsplash design works in harmony with your cabinetry, countertops, and lighting—so the final look feels cohesive, not crowded.

Hardware, Fixtures, and Finishing Touches

Luxury is in the details. High-end hardware, faucet finishes, and lighting play a big role in tying the entire kitchen together. We help clients select premium fixtures in finishes like unlacquered brass, matte black, brushed nickel, or polished chrome while paying close attention to tactile quality, durability, and how they’ll age over time.

Even the interior of your cabinetry can receive luxury treatment, with options like walnut drawer boxes, integrated lighting, or custom dividers all designed to enhance both beauty and functionality.

Why Work With a Professional

There are countless options available when it comes to finishes, and making the right selection takes more than flipping through a catalog. As professional kitchen designers and remodelers, we consider how each material will perform in your space, how it interacts with lighting and layout, and how to layer textures and tones for a high-end, custom look.
