Eased or Beveled Edges

Eased edges are a great style for any kitchen and are especially appropriate for minimalist or contemporary designs where clean lines are key. Eased or beveled edges also work well with Arts & Crafts, Craftsman and Mission styles, traditional American and transitional kitchen designs. Eased edges corners are slightly rounded to protect the surface from chipping or damage, and the amount of rounding is variable.

Bullnose and Half-Bullnose Edges

Bullnose edges can be simple or ornate. They soften the impression of the room and work just as well in a contemporary design as they do in a classic design. Looking to the other design elements in your kitchen can provide some inspiration. Your edges should echo the curves of the cabinets or reflect the overall design of the space.

Bullnose edges are easy to clean and a safer option if you are concerned about hips catching corners or little heads getting bumped. These range of style option for these profiles include a slight curve on just the top edge to a completely rounded countertop edge. Evoking a softer feel than square edges, curved edges compliment a sleek and modern vibe, but can also blend well with the classic American and European styles.

Ornate Edge Styles – Ogee, Cove Dupont, Triple Pencil

If you wish to make a real statement with your kitchen countertops, an Ogee, Cove Dupont, or Triple Pencil edge will attract the attention you seek. Fancy edges are usually reserved for kitchen islands as they can become overpowering if used too abundantly. They make a marble or quartz island an elegant centerpiece of the kitchen. Select a fancy edge that suits your design but won’t overpower the overall design. These edges incorporate simpler edges into an entirely new design or create something absolutely unique.
