BENCHTOPS
The work surface of your kitchen needs to be the perfect combo of beauty and utility
Tiled benchtops are back, especially in minimalist kitchens where geometric shapes can shine
+ Engineered stone, marble and granite are obvious choices as they are practical and tough.
+ A more affordable option that can also make a bold statement is a coloured laminate such as Formica. Team with subtle cabinetry so things don’t get too hectic.
+ Consider benchtop specs such as how deep you’d like the overhang to be (makes it easier for wiping) and whether you need space for stools.
+ Combos such as steel and wood offer flexibility and can be a good way to keep costs down.
