Best Edge Profiles for Granite Countertops: What’s Trending

the Appeal of Granite Countertops

Granite countertops are a timeless countertop option, but there are different design elements that can make a countertop feel more up-to-date. One of these is the edge profile you choose. It’s a small element that goes a long way towards personalizing your stone countertop, and can really add to the coherence of your design choices. 

Today, let’s take a look at some of the trending edge profiles for granite countertops and see how they might fit into your kitchen’s design.

Eased Edge: The Modern Minimalist

The eased edge remains a top pick for contemporary kitchens. Characterized by its subtle, squared-off finish with slightly softened corners, this profile offers a clean and understated look. Its simplicity aligns with modern design trends and even enhances durability by reducing the likelihood of chipping. 

Additionally, the eased edge is easy to clean, making it a practical choice for busy households, as pointed out by designer Stephanie Pohlman speaking to Southern Living.

Ogee Edge: Traditional Elegance

The ogee edge, with its distinctive S-shaped curve, brings a sense of classic sophistication to granite countertops. Often found in more formal or maximalist kitchen settings, this profile adds depth and detail, enhancing the visual appeal of the stone. 

But if you have a minimalist-styled kitchen, the intricacy of the ogee edge might disrupt the atmosphere you’re cultivating. Modern design is all about balance, after all!

Rounded Edge: Family-Friendly Classic

The rounded edge profile offers a smooth, curved finish that brings a sense of softness and subtlety to granite countertops. Unlike the half bullnose, which curves on top and flattens underneath, a fully rounded edge features continuous curvature on both the top and bottom of the slab. 

This profile is often favored in family homes, where safety and ease of cleaning are top priorities– and the professionals over at Houzz recommend it for its durability.

Mitered Edge: Creating a Bold Statement

For a dramatic and luxurious appearance, the mitered edge is gaining popularity. This technique involves joining two pieces of granite at a 45-degree angle, creating the illusion of a thicker slab. 

And if you want a waterfall countertop, where the stone extends vertically down the sides of an island or cabinet, a mitered edge is necessary to make the stone’s veining flow properly!

Raw Edge: Embracing Natural Texture

An ultra-modern and unconventional raw edge offers a rugged, natural finish that highlights the organic beauty of granite. (Note: While this style is called raw, it’s actually carefully chiseled to get rid of any sharp points or flaws in the stone.) 

This profile is ideal for rustic or industrial-style kitchens, where the bold texture adds character and authenticity. While it may require more maintenance to keep clean, the raw edge makes a bold statement and brings a unique tactile element to the countertop. 

Beveled Edge: Subtle Angles for Contemporary Flair

The beveled edge introduces a slight angle to the granite countertop’s perimeter, offering a crisp and geometric look. This profile complements modern and contemporary interiors, adding a touch of sophistication without overwhelming the overall design. The angled cut also helps in deflecting spills away from the cabinetry, combining style with practicality.

Selecting the Right Edge for Your Space

When choosing an edge profile, consider the overall design theme of your kitchen, the level of maintenance you’re comfortable with, and the functional needs of your household. For instance, families with young children might prioritize rounded edges for safety, while those aiming for a sleek, modern look may opt for straight or beveled profiles.
