The best surfaces for kitchen design – materials and design ideas

Are you wondering whether a certain kitchen surface will fit in well with your kitchen design or not? Is such a choice easy or difficult for you? Yes, to be honest, it is very difficult. There are far too many aspects, ranging from the right material to a well-chosen color to the stylistic impression that you want to leave your kitchen surface.

The function of the kitchen work surface

First determine the function of your kitchen surface and then choose the right material for it.

Before choosing the kitchen surface, you should first determine exactly what it will be used for. Does it often come with hot kitchen utensils? Does the kitchen surface get wet and does it have to be wiped more often? All of these questions are the first to consider when choosing a kitchen surface.

Which materials are the best?

This is how the modern and practically furnished kitchen should look!

We have never had such a large selection of artificial and natural materials for kitchen surfaces. You must not lose the overview. The rule of thumb is: invest in a good natural material and it will pay off in the long run.
The best materials include granite, quartz, and hardwood. Not only do they withstand heavy loads, they also enhance the look of your kitchen.
Among the natural materials, we would like to draw your attention specifically to the recycled glass. Kitchen surfaces made from these are also sustainable and have a cheerful effect thanks to the different colors that are often seen there.

Achieve uniformity or variety

From the designer’s point of view, the kitchen surfaces can provide variety or a uniform look. What is more necessary in your case? If the kitchen cabinets consist of many different colors, then the kitchen surfaces in particular can ensure a uniform appearance. If everything seems very monochrome, you can add variety through the different kitchen surfaces.

Glamorous kitchen surfaces

Glamorous surfaces make the kitchen look visually wider.

Kitchen surfaces are most modern and practical when they can reflect the light. This creates a luxury effect and the whole kitchen also looks much brighter and cozier. Combine with pendant lights that are strategically distributed over the most frequently used functional areas.
