5 Kitchen Styling Ideas To Flaunt Your Bench Tops

For many of us, our kitchen benchtops are the focal point of our kitchen. If you have stone benchtops, you have most likely invested a lot of money in them, so it is only natural that you want to flaunt them and show them off.

In this article, Art Stone provides you with practical styling tips to get the most out of your beautiful kitchen benchtops.

Contrasting Colours

One way to make your stone benchtops really pop is to paint your cabinets in a contrasting colour. For instance, if your benchtops are shades that are very light in colour, it would look beautiful to have dark green cabinets. You can also create contrast with your backsplash, but what looks even more beautiful is when your backsplash is made of the same material as your kitchen benchtops. 

The Perfect Lighting

The power of perfect lighting should never be underestimated. Not only is it important to have quality lighting above your benchtop for aesthetic value, but it will make food preparation and cleaning your kitchen so much easier if your kitchen is brightly lit. It is also great to have dimmers in your kitchen, so that you can set the preferred atmosphere.

The Rule of Three

When adding decor and practical culinary items to your kitchen benchtops, you want to remember the rule of three. Having three similar items of different sizes is very pleasing to the eye. This could mean having three wooden cutting boards arranged on your benchtop, leaning toward your backsplash, or three different-sized jars holding kitchen utensils.

Draw the Eye with Decor Items

Draw the eye to your kitchen benchtops by using beautiful decor items. This could be a sculpture, a vase filled with flowers, or even a bowl of fruit. Feel free to express your personal style in this regard, as unique items are so much more interesting than those we have seen hundreds of times before.
