We\u2019ve got a huge range of colours and styles of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops\/laminate-kitchen-worktops.html\"><strong>laminate kitchen worktop<\/strong><\/a> to choose from here at Savoy Timber, from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops\/laminate-kitchen-worktops\/wood-effect-kitchen-worktops.html\">wood effect worktops<\/a><\/strong> to sleek <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops\/laminate-kitchen-worktops\/marble-kitchen-worktops.html\">marble effect variants<\/a><\/strong> and even the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops\/zenith-12-5mm-solid-compact-worktops.html\">Ultra Slim Zenith worktops<\/a><\/strong>. But once you\u2019ve decided on your choice of laminate worktop, we\u2019ve got one or two creative ideas for how to make your kitchen unique!<\/p>\n<h3>Waterfall edges<\/h3>\n<p>You may well have seen waterfall edged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops\/laminate-kitchen-worktops.html\"><strong>worktops<\/strong><\/a> before, as they\u2019ve become an increasingly popular choice for kitchens of all sizes and budgets in the last few years. It\u2019s a cool feature based on a relatively simple concept &#8211; essentially it\u2019s an island with a side panel seamlessly adjoined to the edge of the worktop, creating a \u2018waterfall\u2019 effect as the worktop continuously runs down to the floor. It\u2019s a sleek and minimalistic touch that helps to frame the island as a focal point in the room, making it a great talking point if you frequently entertain guests in your kitchen!<\/p>\n<h3>Play with dining levels on your kitchen island<\/h3>\n<p>This is one that you don\u2019t see too often. If you like the idea of a kitchen island but you\u2019re not quite as taken with the idea of bar stools, you can <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.houzz.com\/photos\/highgate-kitchen-contemporary-kitchen-london-phvw-vp~16177752\">fix a cantilevered worktop<\/a><\/strong> to the island\u2019s units, allowing you to slot one or two dining chairs underneath it. This way, you can provide a relaxing experience for family or visitors without having to sacrifice any preparation space on your kitchen island &#8211; perhaps serving up starters as you put the finishing touches on the main course.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-responsive alignnone wp-image-1419 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/kitchen-island-cover-image-compressed.png\" alt=\"contemporary kitchen island\" width=\"730\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/kitchen-island-cover-image-compressed.png 730w, https:\/\/savoytimber.com\/help-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/kitchen-island-cover-image-compressed-300x123.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Experiment with shapes<\/h3>\n<p>You may well have already heard various people (including us here at Savoy Timber) talk about U shaped kitchens and L shaped kitchens, which are fairly standard and &#8211; as you\u2019ve probably guessed &#8211; refer to the shape of the room. But if you\u2019ve got the space available, you can even try something a little unorthodox, like a circular section on the end of a peninsula or kitchen island. Not only does it add a unique little stylistic touch, but from a practical perspective it also means you can comfortably fit a few more people onto the end of your kitchen worktops &#8211; great if one or two are looking for a quick bite!<\/p>\n<h3>Incorporate curves<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking of experimenting with shape, it\u2019s not uncommon for some kitchens to be quite angular &#8211; L shaped kitchens being a prime example! But rather than having straight, uniform lines and angles, it might be worth considering whether you want to take the edge off with worktops that have gentle curves, which can give your kitchen a softer, even more inviting appearance &#8211; especially in modern or contemporary kitchens. It\u2019s an option that might not be available in every kitchen, but if you\u2019ve got the space for it, it might be worth a shot!<\/p>\n<p>Here at Savoy Timber, we offer a jointing and fabrication service for our laminate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savoytimber.com\/kitchen-worktops\/laminate-kitchen-worktops.html\"><strong>kitchen worktops<\/strong><\/a>, so if you\u2019re looking to try something a little different for your kitchen, our professional expertise and tools are at your disposal.
