What are waterfall countertops?
Waterfall countertops are growing in popularity as they extend vertically down the sides of cabinets to the floor, creating a seamless design that resembles a waterfall. They are inspired by the curved countertop design from the 1940s and have evolved from curved waterfalls to the square-edge waterfall counters we see today. The dramatic look created by these edges defines today’s waterfall countertops. This continuous flow attracts homeowners to continue designing their kitchen countertops in this manner.

Why you should consider waterfall countertops
They create drama and interest while adding luxury and a modern feel. It is a must-have for you to modernise your kitchen space. There are advantages to incorporating a waterfall countertop in your kitchen.
Gives a modern feel to the kitchen
With their clean lines, elegant design and sophistication, this guarantees you a high-end, modern kitchen. It makes a statement in your kitchen. For your new-age modern kitchens, opt for this elegant design.
Offer functionality
They allow for extra seating and can even be converted into a breakfast counter where you can sit comfortably and enjoy. The waterfall sides of the counter are there for the elegant show, but the other sides are more functional in terms of seating placements.
Creates a visual continuity
The illusion of waterfalls is achieved through the seamless transition between the horizontal and vertical surfaces of the countertop. The vertical surfaces resemble water cascading down a waterfall. When choosing this type of countertop, select natural stones that feature fluid-like patterns to enhance the visual continuity.
