Some materials age beautifully. Others become maintenance chores. A friend installed gorgeous white stone counters… then spent years nervously scrubbing stains.
Before choosing anything, ask one simple question: How will this look in five years? Will it scratch? Fade? Require sealing? Show dirt?
Sometimes the slightly less “luxury” option ends up being more practical and longer-lasting. And practical is often what real life needs.
Conclusion: Good renovation isn’t just about the reveal it’s about how manageable the home feels long after the dust settles.
