At a time when homeowners deem it necessary to justify every penny spent on non-essential purchases such as a new kitchen, manufacturers are being forced to put a heightened emphasis on quality. Where long-term investments are concerned, consumers want to know that the product they have chosen will stand the test of time, knowing their hard earned cash and precious savings have been well-spent, not wasted.

This desire for quality has resulted in a noticeable trend for homeowners trading up from laminates to solid-surface. Solid surface worktops may carry a higher price tag but will hold their beauty for as long as the kitchen does and as a result are viewed as a worth while, long-term investment. They also help to make designer look and feel kitchens accessible to everyday homeowners. Solid surface composite worktops can deliver the same luxury appearance of stone but they certainly don’t cost as much.

While the market is flooded with endless colour options from creamy cappuccino’s to masculine greys, it’s black and white that have really taken it by storm recently. No longer is a worktop just a practical addition to the home, it must be able to make an impact on the overall design and these two bold colours are perfect for making a statement.
