What is your worktop made out of?
Comments (13)For anyone still deciding on which worktop to choose, we've got a great Ideabook to walk you through all the options! https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/kitchen-planning-how-to-choose-the-perfect-worktop-stsetivw-vs~32573820...See MorePOLL: Do you have enough storage in your kitchen?
Comments (17)My kitchen is small - just under 11ft x 11ft and it was superbly designed. For the first time ever I have everything I need in an easy to reach organised space. I have a tall larder unit which is priceless and my cupboards reach back into the corners (and it's in these that I store my rarely used crockery.) This kitchen is smaller than my last but due to clever design it holds far more and I am very pleased with it (including a dishwasher, tumble dryer, washing machine.)...See MorePOLL: What material will we see trending in 2016?
Comments (24)I agree with Sherbert I think we'll see even more metals. I also think more marble, including the rougher version, is it called leathered? In terms of textiles, I think we'll see lots of different knits. They have hit the clothes shops and you are starting to see more and more in interiors. From a personal perspective I would love concrete sinks etc and antiqued mirrors to really take off so the prices would come down!...See MorePOLL: What's your favourite kitchen nook?

I've recently remodeled my own kitchen and have opted for a beige quartz stone with full height splash-back in the cooking area, a pure white quartz stone in the cleaning section and a doubled-up oak top for a prep/tea bench.

PRO7 years agoNatural stone, granite and timber are timeless worktop materials. Increasingly we are specifying Concrete or Stainless Steel worktops, which add material interest and texture to the Kitchen, whilst being durable and hard wearing. Here is one of our recent projects where a Concrete worktop was formed around a Bulthaup contemporary handle-less island unit. www.houzz.co.uk/projects/2593420/victorian-house-with-a-modern-twist-interior

Depending on how much grease is on your fingers, yes! This question is often asked and, of course, stainless steel will easily mark with finger prints, grease, hard water deposits etc. but this is merely superficial and can be wiped off easily - ideally the worktop should be regularly wiped with a microfibre cloth to PREVENT build-up over time. To some, this seems 'difficult', in which case, stainless steel worktops may not be appropriate. To those who know and appreciate the benefits of having stainless steel worktops, this is just an instinctive routine and helps to ensure tidiness in the kitchen. The fact is, those same marks and grime would exist on any worktop - it's just that you can seem them more easily on stainless steel and so you are more likely to remove them!

It surely must be the case that, for anyone looking to specify the most practical, versatile and durable worktop solution, stainless steel provides the only real option. But, so often, worktops are not chosen in this way. They are chosen according to fashions and trends and the reality is that often people like to change their kitchen (or home) each few years and so are not actually looking for something that will last so very long. In the domestic kitchen, hygiene and longevity may not be top of mind but they are still important considerations. Speaking of budgets, if you were to look, honestly, at the lifetime cost of worktops, stainless steel would have one of the lowest, lasting for 50 + years!
