What color and size of countertops to choose?
Experts advise even in the design of facades to choose a countertop for the kitchen, since its color should be combined with the rest of the elements. Best if it is a few tones lighter or darker.
As for the size, it is important to pay attention to the width, thickness and height. To choose a kitchen countertop is the easiest way from the standard table, since all dimensions that are optimal for a person from the point of view of ergonomics have long been calculated. With regard to thickness, it can be said that everything depends on the material selected. As a rule, this size is within 2-6 cm. So when deciding which material to choose the countertop, remember its weight.
