The Property Brothers' Jonathan Scott Swears By This Stunning Countertop Material

If you're set on choosing the best countertop finishes for your home, you can get some inspiration from one place: inside the homes of the pros themselves. The Property Brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott are among the best in the biz, so we can safely assume that their discerning taste is reflected in their living spaces. In a video tour of Jonathan Scott and Zooey Deschanel's home, Jonathan reveals that the couple outfitted their whole home with Laminam countertops. It may seem like an unexpected choice, given the brothers' preference for premium stone, but according to the HGTV star, this ceramic countertop material is superior for many reasons.

In the video, Jonathan explains that Laminam is incredibly versatile. It comes in many premium finishes that offer the beauty of real stone, but is much easier to maintain. Plus, it can be produced for a variety of applications, and Jonathan used his keen eye for design to integrate it in other creative ways throughout his home. And, you can draw from these ideas if you choose to use the material in your own space.

Why Jonathan Scott chose Laminam countertops over other materials

Even though the Property Brothers love using quartz countertops for their renovation projects, Jonathan had plenty of good reasons to opt for Laminam countertops with his own home design. In the video tour, Jonathan showcases the many different Laminam finishes throughout the couple's home, including elegant white surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen, and contrasting dark counters for the beverage bar. 

Laminam can be used for wall cladding and flooring as well as countertops. Being the creative powerhouse that he is, Jonathan used the material not only for his counter surfaces but also on the wall and built-in bench inside the shower. Then, he took it all the way up to the height of the ceiling to give his bathroom a dramatic design element.

Another major benefit of Laminam countertops is that they are low maintenance. In the video, Jonathan says, "You never have to worry about stains. It's extremely easy to clean..." Laminam is designed to be resistant to everyday wear and tear, heat, scratches, and bacteria. Acidic liquids like coffee and vinegar will not damage Laminam, which is a major downside of marble countertops according to the Property Brothers. Plus, it's highly customizable with over 100 colors available. If you want to style your home like Jonathan, you can find the exact countertop finishes that he used on Drew and Jonathan's website.
