The History of Countertops

The history of countertops is closely tied to the evolution of kitchens and bathrooms, reflecting advancements in materials, craftsmanship, and domestic design. In ancient times, flat work surfaces were typically made from stone or wood and served a purely utilitarian purpose. In Roman villas, stone slabs—often marble or travertine—were used for grinding grain and preparing food. These early surfaces were durable but lacked the refined shaping and finishing we associate with modern countertops.

Throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance, countertops in European homes remained largely wooden, often built as part of heavy cabinetry. These were thick, handcrafted planks of oak, walnut, or pine, which provided strength and could be repaired over time. As cooking spaces were typically separate from formal living areas, little attention was given to their aesthetic presentation.

The Industrial Revolution marked a significant turning point. As iron and steel production increased, so did access to new tools and materials. Cast iron became a popular choice for stoves and sinks, while wooden countertops became smoother and more integrated into built-in kitchen furniture. The late 19th and early 20th centuries also saw the introduction of enamel and ceramic tile countertops, which offered a more hygienic surface and a decorative element to kitchens and baths.

In the 1920s and 30s, the rise of modernism introduced the idea of the kitchen as a streamlined, efficient workspace. Materials like linoleum, stainless steel, and eventually Formica® (a laminate invented in 1912) became popular due to their affordability, ease of cleaning, and adaptability. Formica, in particular, revolutionized the countertop industry, becoming a go-to surface material in post-war homes through the 1950s and 60s.

By the late 20th century, consumer demand shifted toward more luxurious and durable options. Granite, marble, and quartz gained popularity for their beauty and longevity. These materials brought a sense of prestige and permanence to kitchen and bathroom surfaces. At the same time, there was a growing appreciation for artisan-made and natural materials—especially in rustic, bohemian, and Mediterranean design aesthetics.

Copper countertops, though historically used in apothecaries and European kitchens, saw a resurgence as homeowners sought surfaces that combined character, functionality, and anti-microbial properties. In artisan towns like Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico, copperworking has been passed down through generations, and countertops produced there reflect both tradition and technical skill. The hammered surface, aged patina, and seamless integration of sinks make these pieces as much about artistry as practicality.

Today, countertops are no longer just flat workspaces—they are focal points of interior design. From minimalist concrete islands to richly textured copper vanities with backsplashes, the countertop has become an expression of personal style, craftsmanship, and heritage. Whether custom-made for a modern loft or a rustic hacienda, countertops continue to evolve, blending historic methods with contemporary demands for hygiene, performance, and beauty.
