THE TOP FIVE SURFACE TRENDS FOR 2020

One of the advantages of being an independent bespoke furniture business is that we are not tied to any specific worksurface partners, so we can choose the right worktop to suit your needs and requirements, dependent on your kitchen design. This can be granite, quartz, marble, Corian, natural wood, or different stone finishes. Here are some of the worksurfaces and colours that are trending now that we have used in our recent kitchen projects:

ICE WHITE

Simon Taylor Furniture - Butlers Cross - Modern Glass-fronted Open Plan Kitchen with Miele Appliances (1.29)

Perfectly partnering with a contemporary Scandi-style grey gloss glass kitchen, this quartz worksurface by Quartzform in ‘Twinkle’ presents a cool ice white finish. The addition of the ice trough to accommodate wine and Champagne was specified in the design prior to fabrication.

FLECKS OF COLOUR

Simon Taylor Furniture - Stoke Goldington - Contemporary White Shaker Kitchen

Granite is a perennial favourite in the kitchen and this Andromeda White granite is quarried in Sri Lanka. It has a beautiful natural hues and it can be flecked with spots of colour. It works very well when matched with hand-painted kitchens all other surfaces feature a single flat colour.

CONCRETE FINISH

Contemporary Open Plan Kitchen

To accompany a stylish contemporary stainless steel kitchen, the worksurface needed to be in a calm and neutral tone, yet have an industrial style finish. 30mm Topus Concrete by Caesarstone with double pencil edge was specified to provide an up to the minute look.

POLISHED OAK

Simon Taylor Furniture - Watford - Modern Shaker Kitchen with island and peninsula with chequered black and white floor (1.9)

A beautiful hand-painted Shaker kitchen looks stunning with a natural wood work surface. This project features an oak worksurface, which has a oiled finish to pick up the different natural colours and hues featured throughout the timber.
