Worktops – what are your options?

When it comes to choosing a new kitchen there are plenty of choices and some decisions can be easy to make, for example, choosing between a modern and a traditional style kitchen. Other decisions can be tougher and require a lot of thought and sometimes imagination to picture how they will look.

Within any kitchen, the details matter and finishing touches such as taps, tiles and floor coverings can make all the difference in achieving the kitchen of your dreams. An important detail to get right is the worktop. Covering a large expanse, the kitchen worktop must be durable, attractive and co-ordinate with the chosen cupboards.

To help you, we have come up with a run-down of some of the worktop options available.
 

Get your look 

To help you pick the right worktop for you, be clear from the onset on your budget and the look you want to achieve. Think also whether you are willing to undertake any maintenance to keep your surface looking great. If not, a real wood worktop may be out of the question. If you have already bought your kitchen, take a door along with you to put against worktop samples, to get the feel of whether they complement each other.
