Top Kitchen Countertop Trends in Indianapolis for 2025 — and What’s Coming in 2026

2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for kitchen design in Indianapolis. From sleek quartz surfaces to bold granite statement pieces, homeowners are embracing countertops that blend beauty and durability. At AJ Infinity Stone, we’ve been tracking what’s trending across Carmel, Fishers, and the greater Indy area — and we’re also looking ahead to what’s coming in 2026 so you can plan your dream kitchen with confidence.

1. Quartz Remains the Star of the Show (2025 & Beyond)

Quartz continues to dominate for its low maintenance, durability, and range of design options. For 2025, white quartz with subtle veining is the top request in Carmel and Fishers.2026 Forecast: Expect to see more warm neutrals like creamy taupe and sand, as homeowners move away from pure white toward cozier palettes.

2. Bold, Dramatic Granite is Back

Granite is making waves in 2025, with deep greens, blues, and blacks in high demand. The natural variation adds luxury and uniqueness.2026 Forecast: Large-scale veining and bookmatched granite slabs will grow in popularity for statement islands.

3. Waterfall Edges & Statement Profiles

Waterfall countertops are huge in 2025, especially on kitchen islands. Designers are also getting creative with edge profiles like mitered or double ogee.

2026 Forecast: Expect to see mixed-material waterfall edges — think quartz on top, natural wood on the vertical drop for a bold, modern look.

4. Two-Tone Countertop Combinations

Mixing materials — such as a quartz perimeter with a granite island — is trending in 2025. It’s a great way to balance style and function.

2026 Forecast: Designers will take this further by pairing contrasting textures, like polished and honed finishes in the same space.

5. Full-Height Backsplashes

In 2025, more homeowners are taking their countertop material all the way up the wall for a seamless, upscale look. Quartz is the most common choice for this style.

2026 Forecast: Expect a shift toward integrated lighting within these full-height slabs for an illuminated, gallery-like feel.
