How to Choose the Right Countertop for Your Hot Springs Home

Choosing the right countertop can feel overwhelming — especially with so many beautiful options available. Whether you're renovating your kitchen, updating a bathroom, or designing a new home in Hot Springs, AR, your countertops need to strike the right balance between style, performance, and lifestyle fit.

At Peter’s – The Design Center, we specialize in helping homeowners, builders, and designers find the perfect surface. Here’s how to make a smart, confident choice for your space.

Start by Considering How You Use the Space

The first question to ask yourself is:
“How will this surface be used day-to-day?”

For example:

Busy family kitchens may need something low-maintenance and durable

A showpiece island in a luxury build might prioritize appearance

A bathroom vanity may face less wear but more moisture

The more you know about your use case, the easier your decision becomes.

Compare Quartz, Granite, and Quartzite

Quartz
Pros: Low maintenance, consistent color, stain resistant
Considerations: Not as heat resistant as natural stone

Granite
Pros: Unique natural patterns, heat resistant
Considerations: Requires periodic sealing

Quartzite
Pros: Luxurious marble look, very durable
Considerations: Higher cost, needs sealing

Your countertops should complement the overall look of your home.
