Soapstone is a terrific material for the kitchen, as it's unaffected by heat (proven by its historical use for stoves). Being chemically neutral means that acids like tomatoes and lemon juice won't damage it, and its density makes it impenetrable by everything, including bacteria and would-be stains.
Make sure your soapstone is architectural grade, which is denser than the artistic grade often used for sculpture.
redwood, yellow cedar, mahogany, white oak and teak are all naturally more resistant to water, and these are readily available on the West Coast of the U.S.
But if you want the warmth of wood and the functionality of a commercial food prep area, then consider a large butcher block as a portion of your countertop.
if you want to use a neutral hue, such as gray or tan, consider using different shades of it. It will give the space more depth and interest without injecting over-the-top color
Engineered quartz is also easy to maintain, nontoxic and nonallergenic — there's not much to dislike about this stunning man-made material.
Slab-front cabinets are the easiest to wipe off. Shaker style is another good choice, and it blends with any kitchen style, from traditional to contemporary.
Having an organized rollout drawer makes it easy to put pots and lids away.
Wonderful colors, great back splash
