When choosing countertops for a sleek and minimalist kitchen, go for clean and minimal designs. Quartz or solid surface countertops in neutral colors like white, gray, or black work well in a minimalist kitchen. Avoid busy patterns or excessive veining to maintain a sleek and streamlined look. Keep the countertops clutter-free by storing small appliances and utensils in cabinets or drawers. Minimalist countertops provide a smooth and uncluttered surface for food preparation and add to the overall minimalist aesthetic.
