With all white cabinets and walls it is a good idea to add texture or some sort of pattern. I would recommend a quartz white counter top or light grey this keeps that modern feeling but they are very hard wearing ie Compac, also difficult to stain. For a back splash a white subway tile keeps to the colour palette you like but has a texture to break it up a little or you could go for a glass back splash. Compac, Silestone and Dekton all have marble effect patterns which could also help you add a bit of a wow factor without going too far away from the colour choice. Hope this helps! Keep us up to date o how your project progresses.

Which kitchen worktop (colour and type)?
Q
Comments (14)
Have you had a look at quartz (silestone, compac, cimstone etc)? They offer a lot of white coloured stone and it has the features of granite worktops with the look, feel and touch but they come without the added maintenance of granite worktops. Wood worktops compliment light coloured kitchens but they do come with extra maintenance that if not kept up to scratch will make the wood look nasty after a while. Corian is a solid surface material that comes with various white/grey/light colourways and a key thing that makes it popular is that the joins are invisible, so it looks like one giant piece. Personal preference and a lot of pictures will get you an idea of what it is you want. There are quite a lot of options out there so make sure you take some time to research each worktop material and brand.

POLL: What's your kitchen worktop material?
Q
Comments (127)
Another vote for Dekton and Sileston Quartz worktops, use them all the time in our projects as so much more forgiving and low maintenance than granite or marble. Agree that Corian is a good option if you have a large island to prevent visible joins, whilst it has other benefits you do need to be very careful when it comes to heat. Vast range of colours and textures in all types nowadays so the type of material shouldn't limit the effect you want to achieve - be that traditional or contemporary. I am always a big advocate that a worktop is an investment, there is no point spending a large sum on a beautiful quality kitchen and then finishing it off with a worktop that won't stand up to time as well as the rest of the room or cheapen the look - I always recommend to go for the best you can afford.

On the final run. Collected the units this week from British Standard Carpentry, and they are pucker. Fitters have had a time of it though as the wall angles and floor aren't level (old house). Have a temporary work surface which I'll repurpose when the other one fitted. I really like the look of quartzite, so sticking to that. And then there was the plumbing of waste disposal, 4 in one tap and dishwasher drawers. But they got though it and have all that to add to their repertoire. Few shelves are going to be built by the cooker, but my main concern is the colour to paint the units. The room is north facing so can look moody. I've chosen the fabric for the cushion seating for the bench also.
