Worktop to match with what?

[joshea]

Can someone please advise what the best way to choose a worktop colour

What should you try and match it with? The tiles maybe???

Any expert decors out there!!!

I wouldn't necessarily match it with anything else. what kind of units do you have?

Hi millieforbes

Pippy oak or character oak, it will depend on the price, but they both look pretty much the same. I have beige matt tiles

A contrasting worktop can look lovely - I have high-gloss white cabinets with a matte black countertop. I've also seen mid-to-pale wood with a high gloss black, and mid-to-dark wood with white marble-style. All look great.

Go to a couple of kitchen showrooms, or even look at magazines or online to see various combos.

With the oak cabinets, I would opt for either a totally matt black worktop or a glossy black - get a sample of both and see which works best. I would advise against brown/creamy worktops - far better to go for a contrast/statement worktop that wont date (i.e. black) even if you eventually change the tiles.

I can't see white worktops looking great with oak cabinets - I think you could tire of this look very quickly, especially as you have beige tiling.
