As ever, your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops\/laminate-kitchen-worktops.html\">laminate kitchen worktops<\/a> <\/strong>are a vital part of creating that impact, and here at Savoy Timber we\u2019ve got a huge range for you to choose from. We talk about them in a bit more detail below, but first, we\u2019ve got a few handy tips on how to create your very own monochrome kitchen!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>As Simple As Black And White<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-414\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Leading-Brand-Worktops-For-A-Designer-Kitchen-Feel-8.jpg\" alt=\"Leading Brand Worktops For A Designer Kitchen Feel\" width=\"730\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Leading-Brand-Worktops-For-A-Designer-Kitchen-Feel-8.jpg 730w, https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Leading-Brand-Worktops-For-A-Designer-Kitchen-Feel-8-300x123.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When looking at a monochrome style for your kitchen, the very first thing you\u2019ve got to work out is \u2013 are you going for a black kitchen with white worktops, or the other way around? Personally, here at Savoy Timber we think the easiest choice is a mostly white kitchen, especially if you\u2019re a bit tight on space. White reflects light a lot better, which means it\u2019ll feel brighter and open up the space. It\u2019s also exceptionally well suited if you\u2019re going for more of a contemporary style with your kitchen, and stunning black <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops.html\">kitchen worktops<\/a><\/strong> can add an extra dramatic flair to it all.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you\u2019re feeling adventurous, you might want to dry darker colours for a mostly black kitchen, with dashes of brightness through clean white <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops\/laminate-kitchen-worktops.html\">kitchen worktops<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s true that it\u2019s these sorts of kitchens are a lot less common, but that means that if you find a way to make it work, then your worktops can help you make a kitchen that\u2019s truly unique! How about that. As we\u2019ve noted previously, you can even accessories a bit with black and white salt and pepper shakers, and add even more of a yin-yang vibe to your space.<\/p>\n<h3>Our Top Picks For Your Monochrome Kitchen<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-867\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Great-Summer-Worktops-To-Brighten-Up-Your-Kitchen-1.jpg\" alt=\"black sparkle\" width=\"730\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Great-Summer-Worktops-To-Brighten-Up-Your-Kitchen-1.jpg 730w, https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Great-Summer-Worktops-To-Brighten-Up-Your-Kitchen-1-300x123.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whichever way round you choose to do things, we\u2019ve got some great suggestions for both! First up is our White Sparkle Gloss laminate kitchen worktop \u2013 one of our most consistently popular choices here at Savoy Timber, it\u2019s a prime example of the robust, hard-wearing nature of our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops\/laminate-kitchen-worktops.html\">laminate kitchen worktops<\/a><\/strong> (the material of which also makes them particularly easy to clean).<\/p>\n<p>If you want to take things a step further in that direction, then we\u2019ve got something that might appeal: our Pearl White 30mm Laminate kitchen worktop. It\u2019s exceptionally slim and refined, with its slightly textured surface that still gives a fantastic impression of purity and cleanliness. It\u2019s an amazing choice for a contemporary kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at things from the other side, our Luxury Black Sparkle Gloss 40mm Laminate kitchen worktop really lives up to the \u2018luxury\u2019 part of its name, with tiny aluminium specks giving it subtle twinkle all across its surface. If you want a black kitchen worktop that oozes class, this is definitely it.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not all we\u2019ve got at Savoy Timber \u2013 why not check out our<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops.html\">best-selling worktop range<\/a><\/strong> for more ideas on colours, textures and edge profiles?
