After 50 years of new home construction and renovation, Welling Construction, Inc. has seen just about everything when it comes to kitchen and bathroom trends. Although some popular looks quickly fade, others endure — and according to Sean Welling, third generation owner of the business, Wilsonart® Solid Surface is once again in high demand among today’s homeowners.

“When we first started in the early '70s, laminate was the trend in bathroom vanities and kitchen countertops,” explains Welling. In the 1990s, that trend shifted to the solid surface category, which reigned in popularity for the next decade. Today, he says that trend is back in a big way: “We are once again seeing a majority of our clients choose solid surface for their kitchen and bathroom projects.”

Welling believes the increasing popularity comes down to options. “In the '90s, if you had a solid surface countertop, you were limited to standard patterns,” he says. “Today, there are a lot more options, including natural colors that look really sharp.” M O N T E A M I ATA 9911SS

Wilsonart recently introduced new Solid Surface designs that look like marble and other natural stones that, according to Welling, are unlike anything he has ever seen. “I have already had a client order one of the designs that were just released,” he says, adding that he’s confident that Solid Surface will continue to be a client favorite. Brian Smith, owner and director of sales at L.E. Smith Company, says those options are continually increasing. “There is a strong range of colors and patterns to choose from,” he says. “Neutral colors that mimic natural stone are the most popular, but Wilsonart continues to come out with new options that are matching current trends in colors and styles.” Smith continues: “The new nature-inspired solid surface designs from Wilsonart are innovative and beautiful, and truly unlike any other solid surface designs in the marketplace. We're excited to see the advancements in color, style and patterns they release next.”
