Kitchen counters made with Corian are known for their clean appearance and flexible shapes. Their solid surface blends into different designs in both small and large kitchens.
The surface of Corian kitchen top is non-porous and has a joined finish, which gives it a uniform and tidy look across the counter area.
Simple forms for modern kitchens:
Flat counters with straight edges fit well in modern kitchens. Corian can be shaped into long sections without visible joins. This supports a plain and clean surface. Long worktops in white, grey, or beige add to the open feel of a modern setting. Cabinets with handleless doors pair well with this look.
Soft tones in classic kitchens:
Classic kitchens often include light colors and smooth corners. A Corian top in soft cream or ivory may match wood cabinets or painted doors. Curved edge profiles soften the look and give a quiet finish. Sinks shaped from the same material blend in with the worktop and match the calm tone of the design.
Matching islands and worktops:
Corian may be shaped to match kitchen islands and side counters. A joined design with one material across both areas can support a tidy look. The island can have a sink, stove, or preparation surface depending on layout. The same surface across both sections may reduce contrast in the kitchen.
Contrast colors in mixed settings:
In some kitchens, light and dark materials are placed side by side. A white Corian top on dark cabinets gives contrast. A darker grey or black worktop may also sit on lighter cabinets. This type of mix adds interest while keeping the design calm and clean. Cut-outs for sinks and hobs can be shaped during fitting.
Backsplash and top in one line:
A Corian worktop can also rise slightly up the wall as a low-level backsplash. This keeps the design in one material and avoids tile joins. It may follow the shape of the wall for a tidy finish. The edge where the counter meets the wall is rounded for a clean line.
Fitted features inside the counter:
Corian allows small features like draining grooves or sink bowls to be cut directly into the counter. This avoids extra joins and supports a joined design. Taps may be fitted into the surface, and grooves can guide water to the sink bowl.
