If you’ve been following us lately, you’ve already seen concrete and wooden countertops ideas but what if you are looking for something more unusual? Here we’ve rounded up some fresh and unique ideas to decorate your kitchen with an eye-catching surface. To speak about materials which are suitable for kitchens and still original, I’d choose marble, stone, Corian and maybe wood as natural wooden textures look very beautiful. You can also make a cool countertop yourself, for example, a penny countertop using glue. Look at more awesome ideas below and tell us, which one you like the most.
Wooden Countertops
A wooden countertop is a cool idea for any kitchen – it adds texture, warmth and a bold touch to it. It can be a butcherblock countertop, a chevron clad one, a wooden tile one, a wooden countertop with a living edge, and it will match a rustic, contemporary, modern, minimalist or almost any other kitchen. Choose the stain according to the look you want – a contrasting or a matching one. Consider tha a wooden countertop isn’t a very durable thing, so you’ll have to seal it properly to make it more long-lasting.

Stone Countertops
A stone countertop is a very durable idea, it will last for long and you may additionally highlight it with inner lights. The stone can be different, it’s totally up to you, and the textures and colors, too. Most of stone countertops look so catchy themselves that you won’t need any special design for your countertop, the only thing you need to decide is whether your kitchen will look contrasting or matching, and whether you’ll use the same countertop for the kitchen island or go for a different one.

Terrazzo Countertops
Terrazzo is a very trendy and bold material for making backsplashes, countertops, floors and even walls. There are tons of colors and patterns to choose from, so you need just to take a look and choose – whether it will be a contrasting look with bold terrazzo or matching look with neutral terrazzo. As terrazzo is patterned, it’s better to apply it both to the countertops and backsplash to make them one whole and avoid matching, which can be really difficult.
