Solid wood

The main advantage of wood is complete environmental friendliness. The wooden set has a pleasant smell and can serve for a long time. The disadvantages include susceptibility to changes in temperature and humidity.

Artificial stone is affordable and easy to install. In addition, there are much more design options in different colors. The material is waterproof, durable and, if necessary, can be easily restored.

MDF and chipboard

Affordable and inexpensive material for a kitchen set has a wide variety of choices. However, it is not durable, not heat-resistant; due to constant contact with water, the surface may swell.

The production technology consists in covering the chipboard or MDF board with a special protective film or plastic. The difference between materials is in the density of wood chips and the presence of harmful resins.

Wood

The countertops are made of solid wood. The solid wood set looks cozy, it is pleasant to touch it. However, in terms of practicality, wood is not the best option. With constant contact with water, fungus may appear, the material has a low level of heat resistance and heat resistance. The tree also reacts to temperature changes and room humidity levels.

• For Provence and shabby chic style, wallpaper with light floral patterns is suitable.
• For country and loft, murals with brickwork will be ideal, this technique will help to preserve the kitchen area as much as possible.
• In the interior of a classic or modern kitchen, the best option would be plain wallpaper for painting or with a discreet pattern.
