Great Ideas For Kitchen Bench Tops From The Kitchen Design Company

In a recent blogpost on their website, http://thekitchendesigncompany.co.nz/which-kitchen-bench-top-should-i-choose/ David Sceats from The Kitchen Design Company has provided some very useful information on how to choose between the different types of kitchen bench tops for the kitchen. As he explains, when choosing a bench top for the kitchen there is actually a huge selection on the market with different pros and cons and, with a huge range of products available it can sometimes seem a little overwhelming, so David and the team from The Kitchen Design Company have put together the following to help people with what is available and explaining the details, pros and cons  of each benchtop type and their relative price point.

As David says, “It is a good idea to start with what your type of lifestyle is currently and what you intend your budget to be. For example you may have energetic young kids and if you are looking for durability in your bench top this may be the most important factor for you. Or you may be a first homeowner on a tight budget and looking to update the current kitchen in your new home.”

David also speaks to people who may have a property that they are looking to renovate completely and maybe the sky is the limit. Similarly, another aspect to consider is if someone is intending to sell their house in the not too distant future, the decision on the quality of the bench top right now could lift the sale of property significantly when selling. Most new homebuyers are of the opinion that the kitchen is a very important part of the house when purchasing as they spend so much of their time there.

David gives the example, “For a house selling for around $700k buyers would expect to see a stone top included in the kitchen. Yet if a house if selling for over $850k buyers might expect granite bench tops as well as lacquered or vinyl wrapped finish cabinets. However if you intend to stay put for a while then obviously this does not become as important.”

Once people have decided what their requirements are they can then discuss this with their Kitchen Designer who can then assist in choosing the right bench top for the kitchen.
