The 20mm or 30mm Debate — Which of These Worktop Thicknesses Looks Better in a Modern Kitchen?

Modern kitchen with timber cabinetry, marble countertops, white freestanding oven, floating marble shelves, a butlers sink, potted herbs, wall sconces, and a marble kitchen island.

If there was one thing my partner and I completely obsessed over during the three kitchen renovations we've survived together, it was the countertops. We both had strong feelings, agreeing it would set the tone for the kitchen and, in turn, our home. But the biggest decision was something altogether unexpected: did we want 20mm or 30mm countertop thickness?

This measurement refers to the thickness of the actual stone slab, which will then be used either as a standalone thickness for your counters or might be 'built up,' 'mitered,' or otherwise altered depending on your desired outcome of your countertop ideas.
