When choosing new stone countertops for your kitchen, you’ll consider a variety of design elements like materials and colors. One aspect that tends to get overlooked is the edge, but this small feature can make a major difference in the overall style of your kitchen. To help you narrow down your choices, here are some of the most popular options.

Which Edge Should You Choose for Stone Countertops?

1. Straight

If you prefer clean lines and minimalist designs, opt for a straight edge. As the name suggests, the counters cut off in a straight line. However, there is a bit of a curve along the top and bottom for safety purposes.

2. Bullnose

Bullnose edges are completely curved. With a full bullnose, the edge of the counter is shaped like a half circle, whereas the half bullnose is only rounded on the top while straight on the bottom.

3. Beveled

A beveled countertop is straight, but with an angular edge along the top. The exact angle is up to you, though 45 degrees is most common. Opt for a smaller angle if you prefer a more decorative look.

4. Ogee

An ogee edge can give stone countertops an ornate look. It comes in an S-shape with a decorative groove running around the top of the counter’s edge. There are multiple options within this category, whether you want a deep ogee for a dramatic look or a more subtle curve.
