Right now is the best time for buying appliances. Tis’ the season for stockpiling and gifting smaller appliances such as toasters, blenders, bread makers, food processors and coffee makers to litter your’s and your mate’s kitchen worktops. Autumn and the holidays are also the perfect time for buying large appliances such as washing machines or refrigerators since new models are being released and older models are discounted.

Now, not to go overboard on remodelling as the timing may not be right for you, but if you’re interested in installing a new compact under counter larder fridge, it may make sense to go for a full kitchen makeover and install new kitchen worktops along with any new large appliances. The kitchen worktop represents a large portion of your kitchen and, and like painting the walls, makes all other pieces conform around it in design. There are all types of worktop options for your price range and style choice.

Wood

Wood has a great look and is the right choice for the eco-conscious buyer since the wood option is renewable and recyclable once you decide you want to change it out. Remember though, if you have children, natural wood countertops can be easily damaged.

Corian

Is a flexible material which looks nice and elegant while being easy to repair and maintain. There’s also a wide range of colours Corian comes in which will fit any design look.

Laminate

Cheap is the first word that comes to mind when thinking of laminate. Great for your budget, very durable and can mimic granite or wood looks.

Granite

The epitome of elegance for kitchens at this point, this material is not the most price efficient but is as durable and chic as it comes.

Whichever material is right for you, your kitchen will definitely benefit from the update you choose.

Did you know?
Bamboo is the most eco-friendly material because it is one of the fastest growing plants in the world.
