From Classic to Contemporary: Customising Your Stone Benchtop Design

Why stone benchtops stand out
Stone benchtops are the perfect blend of durability, elegance, and versatility. Whether you choose natural stone like granite or marble, or opt for engineered stone, their beauty stands the test of time. They’re resistant to wear, easy to maintain, and can adapt to a range of design aesthetics. With the right customisation, your stone benchtop can become the centrepiece of your space.

Classic styles: timeless elegance
For those who love a traditional aesthetic, classic stone benchtops are all about subtle beauty.

Consider:

• Marble finishes with soft veins of white, grey, or beige for an elegant, luxurious look.
• Neutral tones like creams and warm browns that pair perfectly with wooden cabinetry.
• Rounded edges or ogee profiles for that timeless finish.

These options create a warm and inviting space that will never go out of style.

Contemporary designs: modern sophistication
If you’re drawn to sleek and minimalist spaces, contemporary stone benchtops offer bold, clean lines and striking designs.

Consider:

• Bold colours like dark greys, blacks, or even statement hues like deep greens.
• Polished or matte finishes for a smooth, modern aesthetic.
• Waterfall edges that extend the stone seamlessly to the floor.
• Contrasting tones paired with minimalist cabinetry for a chic, industrial feel.

These modern styles are perfect for achieving that on-trend, Instagram-worthy kitchen or bathroom.

Customisation: making it your own
The beauty of stone is that it’s incredibly customisable. Here’s how you can bring your vision to life:

1. Choose your stone type: Granite for durability, marble for elegance, or engineered stone for a mix of both.
2. Pick your edge profile: Square for modern, rounded for traditional, or a mitred edge for a bold statement.
3. Select your finish: Polished for shine, honed for a matte look, or leathered for texture.
4. Tailor the details: Add integrated sinks, seamless joins, or custom cut-outs for appliances.

With expert advice, you can mix classic and contemporary elements to create a design that’s uniquely yours.
