There’s nothing like spending time cooking and prepping your meals and BBQ staples in a light and airy kitchen. It adds to the perfect sunny day vibe that we associate with summer. If now that summer is here, you’re feeling like your kitchen needs a bit of a facelift, one quick and affordable way to give it a quick refresh is to switch out your old laminate kitchen worktops for some stylish new ones.
If you’re wondering how you can pull this off in your space, look no further; at Savoy Timber we like to make the choice easy for our customers, so our team have pulled together a few of our favourite summer worktops that’ll help brighten your kitchen space on a budget. So let’s take a look!
When it comes to creating light and airy interiors, no one does it better than Scandinavia. This Scandi style has taken the interior design world by storm over the last few decades, and it’s not hard to understand why. This style prioritises natural touches, simplicity and functionality, making it perfect for a relaxing kitchen space, especially if you like to keep your kitchen on the minimalist side of the scale.
Our Nordic-esque Egger White Halifax oak 40mm square edge worktop is perfect for summer. This beautiful worktop is a fantastic alternative to solid wood because it’s just just as beautiful but without the hefty price tag. What’s more, with the varied colour interplay between white, beige and grey, the potential combination possibilities are absolutely endless!
Although it might sound like the opposite of what we were just discussing, dark worktops can work just as well as light worktops in a summery kitchen, especially for a farmhouse-style space. Dark wood is beautifully rich and full of charm and character, and when paired with a lighter space (cabinets and walls) they create a stunning contrast. So, if totally lighting up your kitchen isn’t for you, then this is a fantastic alternative to keep some bold tones.
For the perfect dark wood laminate counter, we love the Dark Select Walnut Oasis Worktop. This gorgeous worktop’s surface is designed to be hygienic and easy to clean, making maintenance a breeze. It is also heat and water-resistant, ensuring a durable and hard-wearing finish that can stand up to daily use. This makes it the perfect long-lasting worktop for all seasons, not just summer.
When it comes to creating a modern kitchen, grey is the colour most people choose, and while grey is beautiful and versatile, there’s a new contender in the game – greige. The colour greige is exactly what it sounds like, it’s a mixture of grey and beige, and the result is a wonderfully neutral stone-like shade (perfect for summer).
Like grey, greige is both sophisticated and timeless, but it’s more neutral and less cool , making the kitchen space feel warmer. In all shades, the neutrality of a greige laminate worktop allows you endless avenues for other interior design aspects, so you can go lighter or darker with the surrounding elements and still have a sleek space that feels well put together.
Our recommendation for a modern and stylish greige worktop is the Crema Limestone 40mm Laminate Kitchen Worktop. This aesthetically appealing material is not only significantly more affordable than authentic limestone, but it still provides the wonderful French chicness that is perfect for a cottage-style kitchen. With a rough stone texture that feels like soft, riven slate, and a white background with light grey patterns, it offers a tasteful finish.
Of course, these are just our suggestions! Your perfect summer kitchen should be a reflection of the shades, materials and textures you’ll adore so you enjoy spending time in the space all year long. However, if you’re still struggling for ideas, we’ve got your back here at Savoy Timber. Our range of laminate kitchen worktops is almost endless, so we’re sure you’ll find something you fall in love with. Or, you could always pop into one of our stores in Blackpool, Bradford, Wigan or Preston, and we’ll be happy to help you pick the perfect worktop in person!
