I came across this picture on a random internet site that popped up on my screen while searching for places to get married (yes, we're still looking...) usually I don't pay too much attention to those pop-ups, but this kitchen caught my eye and upon further inspection realised that this bench top is laminate and I think it looks great! and I wonder what other people think about laminate in kitchens?growing up we had a bright green laminate and pine kitchen, which I always thought was pretty cool, except in the 90's when I thought it was purely horrific (even though we'd long moved away from that house) I'll have to get my Dad to dig out a photo to show you :) but in an age when we are trying to be cost effective, gentle on our planet, yet still keep a gorgeous design aesthetic, could laminate be the way to go?
I must preface this by saying that I am not really into granite bench tops in kitchens, I don't like the fact that a huge slab of granite would be mined out of a gorgeous mountain somewhere just to sit in my kitchen until someone gets bored of it... and everyone seems to have granite these days, like it's a tick in the box when looking at kitchens. I do like composite quartz (like ceasarstone) since they make use of the leftovers from said granite countertops...
but would you buy a kitchen that had laminate countertops?
