Large kitchens allow you to include different countertops. With the following ideas to renovate a kitchen, you can renew the appearance of your kitchen, increasing its space and functionality, thanks to the installation of countertops, drawers, and ceramic hobs.
Island kitchens
According to Barrie renovations experts, one of the common solutions in large kitchens is to locate a central island.
The advantage of islands is that they allow you to install everything you need in a central space, while the perimeter of the kitchen is left free. The spaces are expanded and the kitchen becomes much more functional.
When we install an island, we make sure that all the kitchen instruments are accessible. To achieve this, you can install a platform on the island on which you can hang all kinds of accessories.
U-Shape kitchens
This is a countertop model that is installed around the perimeter of the kitchen. The U-shaped kitchen is especially useful for those who need ample space with drawers, since under the countertop we can install all types of drawers in which to store kitchen utensils.
Contrary to the island installation, the central space is left free while the sides and bottom are used as workplaces.
L-shaped kitchens
If you do not need a large workspace and you need a place in your home kitchen for a table and chairs, the perfect option is to install an L-shaped countertop.
In this case, the bottom and one of the sides are occupied, leaving more space for other uses. Take into account the natural entry of light to choose the side on which you are going to place the countertop.
G-shape kitchens
This is one of the trends in large kitchen renovations. For G-shaped kitchens, the countertop starts from one of the lakes. However, its route ends up occupying the central space, instead of remaining recessed in the background.
This solution is only valid for large kitchens since it requires a large space so that, once installed, there are still large passage areas.
What is the best material for countertops?
In reality, no single kitchen countertop material can be distinguished as the most appropriate. Nowadays we work with dozens of different materials, and most of them are very resistant surfaces, capable of generating a very resistant workspace in the kitchen.
Among the most suitable materials to be used in countertops, we highlight laminated formica, solid wood, resin quartz, and natural stones such as granite, marble, or stainless steel.
All of these materials are specially prepared to resist the usual contact that countertops must face.
Do I need a specialized technician for installation?
For the installation of kitchen countertops, it is advisable to contact companies specializing in this type of work.
Nowadays there are many different companies specializing in kitchen renovation work. So it is not difficult to contact professionals capable of tackling a job of this type.
Keep in mind that the installation of countertops in a kitchen must be very precise. Otherwise, we will be invading more space than we need. In addition, a countertop must be correctly installed to guarantee its use for a long time, protecting its surface.
