THE LOOK: STATEMENT SURFACES

We love bold surfaces featuring dramatic veining in shades of grey and gold. The popularity of such striking engineered finishes is set to continue in 2021 and beyond, according to Kate Deakin-Bell, marketing manager at Cosentino. Whether used on an island or splashback, or across both for maximum effect, natural-toned surfaces exude warmth, resemble stone and marble and add instant luxury and wow. “The bonus is that they’re also wonderfully durable and the options are almost limitless in terms of application,” says Kate.

“For incredible impact, the trick is to keep the rest of your kitchen scheme simple or tonal, so your eye-catching surface shines.”
