Curved kitchen worktops
Curved worktops combine together design artistry and functionality, allowing you to break away from a conventional design and create something special and practical in your home or business.
In the past few years curved kitchen worktops and curved worktops breakfast bars, have become increasingly favoured in residential homes and have fast become some of the most requested type of worktops.
So why are worktops with curves becoming so popular, and why should you consider adding one in your next renovation?
Aesthetics
There is no doubt about it, curved worktops with their flowing and graceful contours, make an undeniable stunning kitchen feature. Say goodbye to sharp edges and rigid looks and say hello to a calming kitchen with flow. A worktop with curves brings more softness to a space and give a graceful aesthetic we all dream of.
When considering curved worktops, most homeowners are looking to add subtle curves, like curved worktop corners or a completely curved worktop end. However, some people are loving the more bold approach of a completely curved shape which gives more of a wow-statement and makes for an eye-catching focal point.
Whether you envision a subtle curve or a more dramatic arch, today’s stone technology combined with a skilled stonemason team means customisation is limited only by your imagination.
Personalisation
More and more people are looking at curved worktops as a way to unlock creativity and add a unique touch to their kitchen.
The movement away from traditional designs opens to a new wave of people looking for softer, practical and more customised designs. Considering a worktop that will fit your own unique style and suit the shape and space requirements of your kitchen unlocks so many new and exciting possibilities for the homeowner.
Enhancing Space
One of the greatest and appealing features of curved worktops is that they can better make use of the space you have in your kitchen. If you have a unique or smaller space that you want to best use the space you have, a curved worktop can help optimise the surface area you have.
