Look at this unique illuminated breakfast bar!
At Dowers, we’ve been designing and building kitchens for more than 35 years. Recently, we've developed a method of treating natural wood surfaces to create unique and eye-catching worktops.
The breakfast bar below is made of waney edged Oak. The natural break in the wood is filled with a durable resin. The light shines up from below so that it gives the impression the worktop is glowing, particularly in the dark.
We can apply the same process to most surfaces. The worktop below is a beautiful Walnut finish.
We love that each illuminated worktop is as unique as its owner! What do you like about them?
We'd be more than happy to tell you more about the process if you have any questions.

Ugly pillar in centre of kitchen
Comments (3)Hi Tom, Yes! It's in the centre of our current kitchen that's going to extend out. Colour scheme is cream shaker kitchen, wooden floors, grey work surfaces and either grey or green f & b walls. I thought building around it may be the best solution. Thanks Joy...See MoreKitchen design dilemma
Comments (21)Hi Thank you for the lengthly post with lots of inspiration...I'm yet to look at everything in detail, but I've skimmed through and taken a look at the images... I just haven't got round to creating ideasbook ; I must admit, when I first started using houzz, I didn't realise ideasbook was where I could store all the images I liked so I was screenshotting the images to save onto my gallery for future reference... which is only useful for myself, not others who would like to give advice, unfortunately. I quite like the copper-bronze kettle, I'd been deliberating a while as to what kettle to get and I think the copper may be the way to go... I like the use of plants and bold colours as you've suggested. For someone taking a dab, you've got a lot of stuff on there to my taste, (all the wooden elements) but I feel that the space already has an overpowering sense of wooden colours textures with the flooring, splashback and work surface so want to add something different to create a slight contrast, hence thinking of bold bright colours. I have considered a breakfast bar on the window wall, opposite to the kitchen with colourful stools (I'll attach an inspiration image, which again, I unfortunately screenshotted in place of saving to ideas book). I think I will start an ideas book so I can get advice more suited to my style instead of making people guess. For blinds, I was thinking either horizontal or vertical blinds... I'm not a keen fan of roller blinds as they don't give that in between stage where you want light to be coming in but you also want that privacy factor. I do quite like the light fitting, it's sort of contemporary, industrial but does it hang low...we are a tall family and wouldn't like to knock in to it. Thank you for all your help Minnie...highly appreciate it A x...See MoreIdeas on how to update a serving hatch/ kitchen hatch?
Comments (25)We had a serving hatch that we have opened up so we can use as a small breakfast bar - we didn’t want open plan as our dogs sleep in the kitchen if we have guests over. We also want the option to close it (if I get up in the night for a drink, the kitchen light wakes our parrot up!!). we want to avoid Louvre doors but can’t find a blind that seems small enough. Any ideas?...See Morelowered ceiling for island
Comments (3)Hi At No 19, Thanks for your advice and nice kitchen. Appreciate this isn’t an exact science and so it’s good to share thoughts with someone who’s done it before. I am leaning towards increasing the shadow gap to 100mm, and will consider additional lighting, as the extractor has lighting incorporated I initially didn’t think it would be required. Can I ask, on your project was the lowered ceiling the same dimension as the island or did you make it a touch larger / smaller?...See More

You can see how the worktop really glows in low light.
