You will prefer smooth and easy-to-clean materials, so that you can
always keep your workstation tidy and hygienic, even in times when work
is more frenetic and requires great speed and concentration.
A NON-PROFESSIONAL, DESIGN KITCHEN
Let us assume that you have decided to revolutionize your old kitchen
and want to make a choice of character. The real designer kitchens are
liveable, luxurious spaces. They are often the architectural jewel of the
house. In this case, the choice of the top is of fundamental importance
for a visual impact to those who enter your new space. The choice
between a shiny and contemporary material, rather than something
classic and natural, will make the difference in the perception you want to
give of this space.
3. Style
The choice of the top must not be distinct from the rest of the kitchen.
The materials of the structure and door fronts are also important for the
overall architecture.

It is clear that the choice of the worktop must also be coherent with the
rest of the materials and with the style to be given to the space.

For example, a more industrial style will combine wood with metal,
offering a contemporary view of the combination of two very different
materials.
