A worktop that turns a corner has a strong presence because it is seen from more than one direction. Our Newtonhill shower room combines light grey handleless L-shaped furniture with a dark worktop and black-framed curved enclosure. The contrast follows the fitted run rather than appearing as a small isolated accent.
Before choosing a dark top, sketch its complete outline around the room. Check the view when entering and when standing at the basin. Draw the two walls as a pair to see how the worktop corner appears from the entrance and from the basin. Think about which everyday items will sit on it and whether their colours add another layer of contrast. This helps you balance a useful fitted surface with the shower frame, so the corner feels connected during normal use.
