Your worktop is more than just a surface
At Bødker &, we often begin kitchen design with the surface. It's the element you touch every day. It frames your routines, reflects your style and connects the kitchen as a whole.
A kitchen worktoptop isn’t just practical – it’s a design decision that affects both function and atmosphere. And with so many options available, it's worth choosing carefully.
Here’s our guide to the most popular kitchen worktop materials – and what to consider when making your choice.
Popular worktop types for the kitchen
🔹 Stainless steel worktop
A stainless steel worktop is among the most durable and hygienic options. It handles heat, moisture and daily use with ease – and develops a beautiful patina over time.
It’s ideal for those who appreciate an industrial, professional look, and it works especially well with dark cabinetry and metal fixtures.
🔹 Dekton worktop
Dekton is an ultra-compact surface known for its resistance to heat, scratches and stains. A Dekton worktop requires almost no maintenance and offers a sleek, modern look.
Popular variants include Dekton Bromo, with its dark, volcanic finish, and Dekton Argentium, a soft grey surface with a refined matte texture. Perfect for minimal and architectural kitchens.
🔹 Natural stone (marble, granite, slate)
Natural stone adds depth, warmth and uniqueness to any kitchen. Each slab is one-of-a-kind. Marble is timeless, granite is tough – both require a bit of care but deliver lasting beauty.
🔹 Wood
Wood worktops offer natural warmth and softness. They need regular oiling and maintenance, but in return they develop a personal patina over time. Ideal for organic and Scandinavian interiors.
Undermount sink – the hidden advantage
A detail many of our clients appreciate is the undermount sink. This solution allows your kitchen sink to sit below the worktop, with no visible edges.
It creates a seamless, clean look – and makes cleaning around the sink much easier, especially when combined with stone, Dekton or stainless steel worktops.
How to choose the right kitchen worktop?
When advising clients, we typically look at four key factors:
-
Visual expression – Do you prefer matte, glossy, textured, or natural?
-
Usage – Are you cooking daily or just want something stylish and low-maintenance?
-
Upkeep – Do you want to care for your surface over time, or forget about it?
-
Harmony – How will the worktop work with your cabinets, sink and hardware?
A conscious surface – in more than one sense
At Bødker &, we offer selected surfaces in stainless steel, Dekton, natural stone and wood. Whether you choose a Dekton worktop like Bromo or Argentium, or go with raw stainless steel, the goal is the same: to create a kitchen that works – and feels right.
