Choosing kitchen cabinet fronts, their color and the material from which they are made is one thing. The second is the choice of countertops for cabinets, as well as for equipment. In this article, we will advise you on what to look for when choosing a kitchen countertop and share some ideas.
The kitchen is the heart of the home. More and more often we combine the kitchen with the living room, highlighting the space with an island, table or bar counter. This trend makes the choice of kitchen cabinets and countertops extremely important because they complement not one, but two rooms. Therefore, the kitchen should not only be beautiful, but also functional, and also match the entire style and decor of the apartment.
Basic rules and tips - choosing a countertop
While it can be said that choosing a color is a personal matter, there are certain rules that can make your decision easier.
Rule No. 1 – color
- The color of the countertop should be combined with other elements of the room: facades, furniture, walls, doors, windows. The countertop can contrast with the furniture (for example, dark cabinets - light countertop and vice versa), but the color must be consistent with the chosen color tone.
- You can choose a countertop that is the same color as your kitchen cabinets. Then you will get the “monolith” effect. This option is often used in modern interiors.
- It is fashionable to combine white with black or graphite. This color scheme is timeless and elegant. The black glossy top perfectly reflects light, creating a mirror effect.
- Wood and stone are perfect for many kitchen interiors. Granite contrasts beautifully with wooden facades. Wood also offers a wide range of colors and many layout possibilities.
- Modern pop art style kitchens are distinguished by bright colors. When choosing colorful fronts, make sure to keep the countertop a neutral color (such as white) or use one of the kitchen colors.
- Dark brown, black, dark green, red and neutral countertops (like white) pair well with wood, oak cabinets. Browse our offer of exotic woods. The colors of exotic species are in perfect harmony with the well-known oak.
Rule No. 2 – pattern/pattern
Sometimes it happens that we like a tabletop that has a very patterned design. When choosing a countertop with a pattern, you must understand that the kitchen is a place where a variety of products will appear. Such a mishmash, combined with a too bright pattern, can become boring over time.
Rule No. 3 - composition
When choosing a kitchen countertop, think about how you will decorate the wall. If you want a strong pop of color on the tile, the countertop should be more subdued.
Rule No. 4 – verified connections
By choosing smooth fronts, you can warm up the look of your kitchen by choosing wood countertops. Wood goes well with both glossy and matte facades. When choosing wooden facades, they can be broken up, for example, with a black countertop, thus giving the interior a modern character.
