UNBELIEVABLE: 4 countertop materials to avoid in a bathroom and what to use instead in your next renovation - The Untold Story

A bathroom with a stone countertop and backsplash as well as a sink with dark brass hardware and a mirror above the sink.

Choosing the right bathroom countertop material is key to a seamless and long-lasting design. When renovating this area of the home, it's essential to consider the materials that can withstand the moisture in a bathroom and opt for those that will last for years to come.

If you're looking to bring your modern bathroom ideas to life, opting for strong and durable countertop materials is a must, and there are a few materials you should steer clear of, according to the experts. Lauren Saab, founder of Saab Studios, tells me, "Bathrooms need materials that work as hard as they look. A solid surface countertop with an integrated sink makes the design clean and water-tight. The seamless construction helps prevent buildup, keeps its finish, yet is sculptural and elegant. It brings a sense of order to the space, proving that function can be every bit as beautiful as form."
