When you have a small kitchen, every detail is important. Even the edges of your countertops can make a difference in the amount of space you have to work with and how well your kitchen flows together. If you’re considering quartz countertops, there are a few particular edge styles that are well suited for small spaces.

Countertop Edge Styles for Small Kitchen Spaces

1. Bullnose

Bullnose countertops are rounded along the edges. This provides an upscale look without overwhelming a small space with tons of intricate details.

Additionally, it doesn’t have any sharp pieces that stick out, which can help you prevent scrapes and bruises if you have multiple people attempting to navigate around the same limited space during family dinners or holidays.

2. Single Bevel

Single-bevel countertops include straight edges but with an angled cut along the top edge. This provides a very elegant and classic look that won’t overwhelm small spaces.

Since this style doesn’t waste valuable counter space with decorative functions, you can enjoy as much functional area as possible when preparing meals.

3. Eased Edge

Eased edges are basically just square countertops, but the corners are very slightly rounded so there are no sharp edges. This gives you the simplest look with the maximum possible functional counter space. It provides a modern look and really allows the natural quartz material to shine rather than distracting the eye with tiny details.
