We\u2019ve seen it pop up at our local pubs, favourite coffee places, and even trendy restaurants in the city.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s easy to see why so many people are gravitating to concrete looking worktops \u2014 they\u2019ll work with just about any style of kitchen from industrial, minimalist, farmhouse, and modern.<\/p>\n<p>This versatility means it can easily pair with whatever existing cabinets you have, and looks particularly stunning when paired with existing wood or wood effect cabinetry.<\/p>\n<p>We stock several concrete looking solid-core or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops\/zenith-12-5mm-solid-compact-worktops.html\">compact laminate worktops<\/a> <\/strong>by Zenith.<\/p>\n<h2>Timeless Oak<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops\/laminate-kitchen-worktops\/oak-kitchen-worktops.html\">Oak effect worktops<\/a><\/strong> look fantastic with a large range of colours and styles. Oak <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops\/laminate-kitchen-worktops.html\"><strong>worktops<\/strong><\/a> can create a stunning contrast when paired with dark colours and industrial styles. Or it can keep your kitchen feeling light and bright when paired with pastel colours.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the oak appearance can add a natural feel and texture to the space which pairs perfectly with coloured cabinets. This can be especially helpful if you\u2019re looking for something to go with ultra-high glossy cabinets.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-responsive alignnone wp-image-2345 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/wood-worktop-resized.png\" alt=\"wood worktop\" width=\"730\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/wood-worktop-resized.png 730w, https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/wood-worktop-resized-300x123.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Stone<\/h2>\n<p>As we\u2019ve said previously, laminate has come a long way in the last few years, and now can reasonably replicate the appearance, colour, and textures of natural stone. This can be beneficial if you\u2019re looking to change the appearance of your kitchen and want to incorporate natural or natural-looking materials.<\/p>\n<p>Another great benefit of choosing natural stone looking laminate is it can work perfectly in both modern and traditional kitchens.
