Kitchen Shelving & Kitchen Worktops can make your kitchen feel streamlined, and here's why

Kitchen shelving and worktops can deliver a unique perception that can enhance and elongate the length and width of your new kitchen, creating space and storage opportunities that you did not think existed. Kitchen Worktops can offer a seamless and streamlined feel to any new kitchen, especially where space is limited.

Slimmer work surfaces work well in smaller areas, not only will this free up more valuable space, but it will also enhance and elevate other kitchen features such as kitchen cabinets and units. Further kitchen additions worth considering with your new design are pull-down open shelving along with hidden plinth kitchen storage. These are invaluable to the functionality of a smaller kitchen area, designed to produce a positive effect when looking to utilise the space you must work within.

Why kitchen surfaces should be cleverly chosen to compliment your kitchen cabinets

When you are looking into kitchen design and especially kitchen surfaces, there are many elements to consider ensuring the overall effect is complemented to produce the best possible complementary results. The two most prominent aesthetics to any new kitchen lies within the combination of cabinets to worktops, these features cover most of the visible kitchen space, so it is crucial to get the balance exactly right.

How the materials in your custom kitchen complete the look.

Materials, colours and the finish of the new kitchen work surfaces will enhance the overall feel and ambience, so it is important to create a blend that works flawlessly and in unison. Kitchen countertops are quite often near eye level, so selecting a contrast between both features will create a harmonious and inviting aesthetic rather than one that clashes due to the incorrect colour scheme or choice of material between the two.

Consider the balance of colours in your new kitchen

When deciding on kitchen colours, particularly between the worktops and cabinets, a key factor is to ensure a clear and cohesive bond is created. If you decide on darker colours for the worktops then you may want to look at lighter shades for the cabinets, or vice versa. This will also apply to the materials used for the new work surfaces, for example, if you decide on a textured or granite finish you may want to opt for a minimalist design for the cabinets. This will ensure that they both compliment each other as opposed to clashing, where there may be too much detail, which can tilt the equilibrium of the desired overall effect in your kitchen interior.

How to choose the perfect colour for your kitchen surfaces

There are many important factors to mediate over when choosing the right colour-way for your kitchen surfaces, with some specific creative routes in which you can take to ensure desirable results are delivered in the final kitchen design. To help you decide, a good start is to determine whether it is best to opt for light or dark kitchen worktops, this can be an easy choice based on how much natural light your kitchen receives.

Consider the light in your new kitchen design.

A lighter-coloured worktop will produce a more spacious feel as it reflects the light. However, this can also create shadows, so this would work particularly well in a contemporary style kitchen where appliances and kitchen tools are integrated or kept hidden away. Darker surfaces can deliver a warm, inviting and rich tone, a darker hue can also reflect light when the countertop has a gloss finish. Generally, smaller spaced kitchens may benefit from lighter surfaces whereas larger and open plan kitchens may support a darker theme, where both worktops and cabinets are a darker shade. Another good choice for smaller kitchens is to consider pairing lighter surface areas with darker cabinets or vice versa, this will ensure that natural light can still reach the lighter colours to reflect from, perceptively widening the space and opening the entire kitchen.

How light and dark kitchen surfaces can create an impact.

Another consideration with regards to the colour best suited for your kitchen surfaces is whether to choose a monotone or multi-tonal design, this can have a huge impact. If you are choosing lighter coloured cabinets then a darker or multi-tonal kitchen work surface may compliment this well, often found with natural woods and stone but the patterned appearance can be replicated in artificial worktops with the use of high-resolution imagery. A monotone will be a solid, single colour that is consistent throughout, these are extremely popular choices made from acrylic and laminate. Not only are these affordable work surface options but they are also extremely attractive as well as being exceptionally durable, robust and suitable for a wide spectrum of kitchen styles.
