Unusual countertops as a highlight of the kitchen

Sometimes small details in the kitchen set exactly the rhythm that was not initially thought out at all. It would seem, what can an ordinary countertop do? It seems like nothing - just a work surface. However, we spotted some projects where this particular area became the brightest accent in the kitchen and added incredible style and effectiveness to it. Take note!

Limestone slab

The massive Münsinger limestone worktop may look a little rough, but it definitely sets the accents in this kitchen correctly and harmoniously. Here she is the main character, who plays not the least role in the room.

Advanced porcelain tiles

SapienStone countertops are resistant to high temperatures and moisture, do not absorb chemicals, which not only makes cleaning easier, but also allows them to be installed in homes where there are small children and allergy sufferers, and simply people who care about their health. By the way, part of the working surface can easily be used for an induction hob.

For notes

Another cool tabletop is SapienStone, but its main feature is that you can write on it. Leave notes for your loved ones, rewrite recipes, note important details - then everything will be easily washed away.

Copper countertop

Specialists from deVOL have been using unusual materials in kitchen decoration for a long time, and this project was no exception. The copper worktop looks absolutely stunning, and the back wall, designed in a similar style, creates an incredibly harmonious and practical backdrop. However, despite such a bold decision, the room does not look too daring - everything is quite pleasant and cozy.

With brass insert

Stunning kitchen designed in a unique contemporary style combining oak, stone and antique brass. The owners wanted a light and airy kitchen that was bright and playful. This effect was achieved thanks to the combination of bright blue furniture and a wonderful contrast with oak and granite countertops. In this case, brass played a decisive role - the room acquired an edgy industrial tone.

From plywood

A modern kitchen where plywood is used literally everywhere, including as a countertop. The room is finished with laminated birch plywood panels that complement the overall look.

Wild stone

An incredible kitchen in a country style, where the designers risked using a mega-cool solution - wild stone - as a countertop. Agree, everything looks incredibly amazing. You definitely want to cook in a kitchen like this.

Made of copper with rivets

In this fusion style project, the designers decided not to coat the copper elements with a special varnish (countertop and shelves). In this way, owners can observe the natural aging of the material, which, however, gives the kitchen a special atmosphere. Here you also need to pay attention to the shutters - amazing, isn’t it?

Oak trunk for stand

Another rather unusual solution is almost a whole oak tree instead of a stand.This design is appropriate in a country style and it undoubtedly clearly plays a major role in this kitchen.

Polished concrete

Have you ever seen just concrete instead of a countertop? For some reason this seems like a completely inappropriate idea. However, in this kitchen the designers still took a risk and ended up with a very harmonious and atmospheric space. Looking at these photos, I just want to say that nothing but polished concrete would be appropriate here - it turned out so great!

Textured copper

Another amazing project that involved copper. Only in this case, the designers chose a textured surface that gives the room an extraordinary atmosphere. Still, the rustic style is something special and magical.

Oak and zinc

In this kitchen, two materials were used for the countertops: oak for the main part and zinc on the island. But no matter how strange it may sound, it looks much more amazing. See for yourself!

Glass table top with lighting

Perhaps the most unusual solution that can be found in the kitchen is a glass countertop with spectacular lighting. Moreover, the performers - the Allied Kitchen company from Florida - have been using a similar idea in their projects for a long time. Everything looks very harmonious, stylish and, of course, very unusual.
