![]() With projects slated for 20, Shapiro says they’re getting requests for waterfall edges in everything from kitchens to desks to bathroom countertops. We can’t seem to get enough of this statement-kitchen feature, and it seems that designers can’t either. “Waterfall edges are best when creating a miter edge that is a 45-degree cut on both sides of the stone connecting the surface with the waterfall leg.” “This style requires a precise cut in order to achieve a perfect seam,” she says. So what is a waterfall countertop, exactly? The edge (which can be composed of granite, quartz, even wood) flows down vertically all the way to the floor instead of stopping at the edge of a cabinet or island, something Shapiro says takes true craftsmanship. ![]() Perfect for a luxe cabin or warm modern home. 01 of 20 Use Bright Whites JULIAN PORCINO A white-on-white kitchen accented with wooden floors and subtle décor looks fresh and clean. “It’s similar to having a full height backsplash instead of the standard four-inch to extend the beauty of stone in the design space.” The Sleek Altea Modern Custom Barbecue Island is as modern as you can get with the streamline waterfall countertop and under the light floating effect. Luxe and rustic JustinKrug/Shutterstock Classic white and gray marble gets a rustic edge with dark walnut cabinetry and modern leather barstools. “Waterfall edges can elevate any space, bringing a continuous flow of color, texture, and countertop detailing,” says CaesarStone’s Lori Shapiro. With an edge that cascades seamlessly to the floor, this expanse of stone can be a decadent focal point that links floor design with cabinetry. While one might be well advised not to go chasing waterfalls ( so the saying goes), we’re all about that over here in the design world because nothing captures our marble-loving hearts like waterfall countertops.
