Vibrant granite worktops in Lemon Spice add a touch of contemporary style to these traditional Shaker cupboards. The fitters matched the grain across the joints and ran the upstands higher than usual to meet the granite window cill. Similar installations would cost around £4,000 from Affordable Granite (www.affordablegranite.co.uk)
Resilica’s Britishmade worktops are composed of 85% recycled content, containing glass and natural stone. They’re scratch-resistant, nonporous and food safe, and you can choose your own colour mix, including matches to RAL and Pantone colours or a paint swatch. Here, the homeowners chose blues, greens and reds to complement their kitchen cupboards. Prices start at £420 per m from Resilica (www.resilica.com)
