Top Porcelain Countertops in Toronto: Guide to Design, Style and Decor

Porcelain is an artificial stone created by using raw materials such as clay and kaolinite and heating them at extremely high temperatures inside a kiln. This process, known as vitrification, produces a strong and translucent material suitable for home use.

Due to their engineered nature, porcelain slabs come in various colours, shades, and vein patterns. They also have fewer structural flaws and are more durable than natural stone countertops like marble. Since they are manmade and more durable than natural stone ones, porcelain countertops can withstand the daily wear and tear of kitchen activities. Unlike porous natural stones, porcelain slabs are non-porous and do not absorb liquid as easily. This makes them good for use in bathrooms.

Let’s look at the top five porcelain countertops in Toronto provided by Home Care Supply.

Top 5 Porcelain Countertops to Upgrade Your Toronto-Area Home

Here are five beautiful countertops for your Toronto-area home from Home Care Supply’s collection:

1. Smokestone Porcelain Countertop

This countertop has a beautiful, glossy midnight-black base with showers of chalky-white lines that resemble lightning against a night sky. It has an ultra-rough finish, is 160 cm by 320 cm, and is 12 mm thick.

Black porcelain countertops look elegant and luxurious against light interiors, bringing almost the entire focus to the countertop. You can use this countertop in bathrooms with white interiors. Alternatively, you can install one in a kitchen with walls of light colours like baby blue or dusty pink. You can also use black countertops in a monochromatic room to make it more visually interesting. The white veins of this countertop will make your monochrome room pop.

The bold black of this porcelain countertop will also look good with minimalist decor. Black will add depth to bathrooms and kitchens, which often lack elaborate decorative decor, and the white veins will create a contrast. Use matte black cabinetry below this countertop to keep the decor sober, have silver accents for a bolder look, or use simple natural wood tones. This will create a luxurious but subtle stone countertop look for your Toronto kitchen or bathroom.

2. Striata Porcelain Countertop

Unlike the Smokestone countertop, the Striata has a light base with dark veins. The base is a smoky grey with beautiful intersecting veins in shades of brown, burnt gold, and black. Moreover, the Striata is emphasized by patina stains, and rusted silt and subtle white streaks along the bolder dark veins. With the same dimensions and texture as the Smokestone, the Striata is another beautiful countertop for your bathroom or kitchen.

Due to its various colours, the Striata countertop will look good in different interior decor styles. For instance, the earthy tones of the veins will match a farmhouse interior decor or if your kitchen is painted in muted shades of brown or gold. It will also go well with light-coloured bathroom decor and dark accessories like faucets, hooks, and curtains. Additionally, the patina stains and neutral grey base can improve the aesthetic of a modern and industrial bathroom or kitchen and complement other Solid Surface countertops in your Toronto home.

The Striata would look particularly good in a kitchen with natural wood cabinets in light shades. The lighter tones help the space look brighter and more spacious. In a bathroom, however, you can use dark cabinets to bring more focus to the gold-veined design of the countertop.

3. The Fume Porcelain Countertop

The beautiful beige base with cream veins spreading out in soft ripples across the porcelain slab makes the Fume an ideal countertop for brightly coloured kitchens and bathrooms.

Unlike the Smokestone and Striata (which have rough finishes), this countertop has a honed finish that complements its rich, misty appearance. Additionally, unlike the sharp veins of the former two, the Fume has gentler and smoother white veins that complement the pinkish-beige colour. Instead of looking like intense lightning or gold threads, the veins of the fume resemble streams of water.

This elegant kitchen countertop in Toronto can be used in a modern, minimalist kitchen with pastel decor. Its soothing colour will pop against pastel mint-green or powder blue walls with brass accessories like cabinetry handles, hooks, and windows. You can also use this subtle countertop to balance bold and bright colours like red.

For bathrooms, the Fume’s lighter base and vein shades will make the room look bigger and feel airier. Pair this countertop with black cabinets to make it bold, or natural wood cabinets to keep it subtle.

4. The Magnate Porcelain Countertop

This slate-coloured porcelain countertop is decorated with delicate clay-coloured grains and dark grey flecks. Unlike the last three countertops, which had veins, the Magnate’s flecks and grains perfectly resemble the beauty of natural stone. The clay dots pop out against the slate to create an asymmetrical design that almost represents stars in the night. On the other hand, the dark grey dots bring the look together by creating more visual interest.

The Magnate would fit perfectly with matte interior decor, regardless of the colour, especially if your home has Modern-Industrial decor. You could pair it with burgundy walls or laminated cabinets in the kitchen. You could also use dark faucets and sinks to create a rich, luxurious look or light ones to bring some contrast. The slate would balance any colour as long as the finish is matte.

Since bathrooms can get wet and shiny, you can use the Magnate countertop to balance it. It can be the central focus in an otherwise light-coloured bathroom. The dark slate would create more depth and definition in this usually smaller room.

5. Archetta Porcelain Countertop

This soft-ivory countertop is neither white nor grey. Yellow and muted green crystalline layers highlight its ivory base, which resembles the cloudy translucency of marble countertops.

Moreover, its milky grey veins flow like smoke across the countertop, sometimes gathering more at a place to overwhelm the ivory. With a honed finish, it measures 63 inches by 126 inches and has a thickness of 12 mm.

The Archetta countertop has a rustic look that suits interior decor styles like farmhouse, bohemian or mid-century modern.

You could pair the kitchen with light, natural wood cabinetry in shades of oak or pine to create a warm kitchen space. The muted green and yellow crystalline layers complement soft pastel accents or plants. This would match a bohemian decor. For a mid-century modern twist, you could pair it with sleek, minimalist cabinets in darker tones like walnut or olive green to create a unique, retro-modern kitchen.

In the bathroom, the Archetta’s creamy ivory base and milky grey veins work well with natural materials like stone or ceramic tiles, creating a spa-like atmosphere. You could pair it with matte black or brass fixtures to add contrast. Combine the countertop with open wood shelves, woven baskets for storage, and soft, earthy-toned towels and decor for a farmhouse or bohemian bathroom. If you’re going for mid-century modern, geometric tile patterns will bring a retro yet contemporary feel.
