Creative Places to Install Worktop Surfaces – Beyond the Kitchen

  • By Andrii Mysheniuk
  • Posted December 20, 2021

Worktops are available in a variety of sizes and materials. With a wide range of options, you can customise your worktop to fit the location and intended use. Worktops are typically considered kitchen fixtures because of their importance in food preparation. Nonetheless, they can help you maximise your available space in several areas of the house. Read on to learn where you can install worktop surfaces beyond the kitchen.

Bathrooms

For gorgeous vanity tops and bathroom worktop materials, such as solid-surface laminates, are ideal. Both modern and classic bathroom designs can benefit greatly from their

  • Longevity
  • Moisture resistance
  • Variety of colours and patterns

Worktop shelving ideas or storage options can give your bathroom a unified, elegant appearance. These materials offer a fashionable alternative to traditional storage units.

Home And Office

As more people work from home, there is a greater need than ever for offices that are both pleasant and functional. A strong worktop surface that can hold monitors and other equipment can be a great desk surface, tactile and aesthetically pleasing for everyday use.

Selecting full stave worktops for a home office desk allows you to display the full depth and flow of the wood grain with long, continuous staves. This creates an eye-catching, unique surface and gives the working area the strength it needs to be productive.

Utility Room

Your kitchen will be less messy if you use a utility room to store 

  • Heavy appliances
  • Do laundry
  • Even clean your pets. 

Once, the practical fixture was considered to be a luxury. Understand the fact that if your home has a well-designed utility room, it will increase the value of the house by 5%. Strong worktops like quartz or stone are ideal for this scene. The reason is that you can clean them easily, and they are resistant to spills and daily use.

As inflation rises, your focus should be on increasing property value. So go for the utility option now so that the worth of your home will be brighter than ever in the days to come.

Garden Rooms and Outdoor Studios

With the growing popularity of garden rooms, countertops are increasingly being used in outdoor living areas. A warm and adaptable material that works well for a

  • Home bar
  • Music studio
  • Relaxing area

Iroko and teak work very well in these places. They are perfect for semi-outdoor use because their inherent oils make them resilient to temperature changes. With counters that can be used for 

  • Offices
  • Bars
  • Shelves

Your outdoor room can be as useful as any indoor area.

Garden rooms are all about helping you feel relaxed and avoid work-related stress. You’d better plan to meditate or do yoga here, as you can focus more easily in the calm settings.

Outdoor Spaces

A countertop provides a useful workspace for gardening and do-it-yourself tasks in outdoor areas like 

  • Sheds
  • Garages
  • Outbuildings. 

It is best to think of the workbench as an amazing tool station to maintain equipment to the best of your ability. Make sure the worktop is strong and long-lasting, so it is wise to use materials like melamine and laminate.  If you add a workbench to the shed or garage, it will make an unorganised space more functional. This improvement will be so delightful to experience.

When you step out of your home, you should feel relaxed. So it is wise to ensure the outdoor space is full of positive elements. If you want any advice, there is no better option than relying on expert advice. Go for it and make your outdoor space the best place to live.

Home Bars

Home bars have gained more attention in recent years. Research found that 1 in 13 UK homeowners intended to set up a home bar by 2022. 

Of the 2,000 homeowners polled, 7% stated they planned to spend about £14,000 on the renovation to realise their vision of a home bar.  If renovation is all about the new kitchen, the budget will increase. The homeowners should be prepared to spend accordingly.

Home entertainment is very popular now. Understand that home bar worktops will be a stylish and proper addition.   

Since home bars are meant for fun and relaxation, make sure the material complements your decor theme.

Materials like granite and hardwood are popular choices.  The reason is that they have an excellent appearance and are easy to maintain.  Imagine the atmosphere of drinking what you love, along with the people you love. The home bar is all about letting go of stress and escaping the real world.
