Are the units bespoke or did are they from a kitchen company? I think this kitchen is fantastic. Congratulations to you all. Cally Ellison

Yes this worktop is made from Corian. We made the kitchen. It is our unique Handleless Shaker. We like it too!

I've been looking at changing worktop too. A very useful guy (kitchen fitter) told me that the problem I'd have is that the tiles come just down to level with the top of the worksurface, so there's a risk that the removal of the worktops would either damage the tiles or the replacements won't sit properly with the old tiles. Anyway, I decided to stick with my ugly laminate and then save towards the whole kitchen replacement. If you want to live with the wooden work tops, you can make them look fab by sanding them down a bit, then apply Osmo hard wax - it makes the surface water resistant and gives them a lovely sheen, really feeding the wood. Either way - do keep us posted and take a good look at that tile depth issue! (Solution for anyone doing their kitchen is apparently to put marine ply on top of the cabinets, tile down to the ply level, then put the worktop on top of the ply).

I agree with Emanuelle. I think wood brings warmth to schemes like this. I have also lived with wood worktops and love the fact they can be sanded and resealed. I have broken so many lovely places on my granite, but it does look nice too. I think your issue is with tone, not colour. The floor is tonally dark and almost everything else is light. As long as the worktop is in between tonally it should be down to your personal preference.

Hi Monica. The kitchen looks great. I'd go for a light grey on the walls, you could look at farrow and ball strong white or a darker grey such as cornforth white , both should work with the floor which has grey tones. Can you take more pics of the seating end and give dimensions? I'm just wondering if a small sofa would be better next to the kitchen units (broken up by a really tall plant) with a chair in the corner between the doors with a lamp behind? The compact sofa, chair (also comes in grey and yellow) and floor lamp are all m&s. I like Monica's idea of enamel pendants, these are by pooky. Will you be dressing the windows at all? I'd accessorise with lots of different textures and plants to get that scandi feel. I'd look at a mirror splashback which will also make the room feel wider, I like an antiqued effect for texture but you may prefer a plain one. If you're keeping the walls very light then a few accessories such as picture frames will work

Just another thought...if you are tall go for a counter 950mm from the floor ( or whatever works for your back ) im 5ft 7 ish and that's how tall my cabinets are ( we have 100mm high benches, so that gives extra height..not just the feet on the cabinets ) You don't want to be bending at the wrong height all day Not comfortable.
