Countertops are one of the most important elements of your kitchen. Along with your cabinets, countertops take up the most physical and visual space. You use your kitchen every single day, so you want your countertops to be practical and look great in your kitchen. At Cabinet Depot Manchester, kitchen countertop installation in NH is just part of what we do to help create your dream kitchen. We also help you design and choose the materials for your countertops so that your kitchen will be unique and perfect for your home.
Here are some unique countertop ideas to elevate your kitchen.
Integrated Sinks
An integrated sink creates a smooth, clean look in your kitchen. Rather than a separate piece of metal or ceramic, an integrated sink is the same material as your countertop, and the counter seamlessly transitions into the sink. It gives your kitchen a cohesive look, and you can customize your sink however you like. Make it as wide or deep as you want to make it easy to use. Even better, without an edge or a lip, you’ll be able to sweep crumbs off the countertop and right into the sink for easy cleanup.
Creative Shapes
Who says kitchen countertops have to be all straight edges and right angles? If you have the space, curvy contours can add character to your kitchen and can enhance your workspace. Standing inside a curve gives you more counter space within reach without having to scoot along your counter. Another idea is to opt for a horseshoe shape rather than the traditional rectangular kitchen island. Place seating around the outside for a gathering space that still gives you plenty of room for meal prep.
Illuminated Countertops
Some countertop materials, such as onyx or quartz, allow light to pass through them. To add a warm and welcoming glow to your kitchen, add a backlight to your countertop to illuminate it from below. The light will illuminate the entire piece of stone with a warm glow. We’re one of the few NH kitchen countertop installation teams that offer this service, so you’ll definitely have to coolest kitchen in the neighborhood. We like this feature for smaller areas, like a bar, that you want to look different from the rest of your kitchen.
