Creative kitchen countertops and table renovation, by Jörg

Create this project yourself with sheet material cut to size by OPMAATZAGEN.nl!

Jörg designed this entirely themselves: from cutlist to finish. Get inspired by the materials used below — and then think about how you would tackle it. We make sure the wood is accurate to the millimetre; the rest is up to you.

Diy inspiration for kitchens: custom-made worktops and tables

Are you looking for inspiration for your kitchen renovation? Then be inspired by Jörg's DIY project, in which an old kitchen was completely redesigned with new worktops and a kitchen table. This article shows you the possibilities and advantages of custom-making kitchen worktops and tables with the help of OPMAATZAGEN.nl.

The production of the kitchen table

Jörg opted for a beech glued wood panel, which was sawn to size at OPMAATZAGEN.nl. The custom-made design made it possible to use the space optimally and create a unique kitchen table. Its warm wood look combined with the modern black table legs gives the kitchen a cozy feel and seems to be the perfect complement to the rest of the interior.

Kitchen worktop – the heart of the renovation

The worktops were also ordered to measure and integrate seamlessly into the kitchen unit. A material that is both functional and visually appealing was chosen for the work surface around the hob and the worktop for the sink. The matt, gray coating contrasts effectively with the red fronts of the cabinets and ensures a modern appearance.

Why DIY? The advantages of self-design

The tailor-made production not only enables perfect use of space, but also offers freedom in the choice of materials. In addition, such personal design is often more budget-friendly than standard solutions from the furniture store. Jörg was thus able to adapt his kitchen exactly to his wishes and budget.

The style of the project

The project realized by Jörg exudes a mixture of rustic charm and modern elegance. The combination of the beech wood worktop with the red and white cabinet elements creates an inviting ambience that invites you to linger.

Natural materials make the difference

Beech wood is a popular material for worktops because it has a warm appearance and is very robust at the same time. The glued beech C/C 40 mm panel, used for the kitchen table, is hard-wearing and easy to maintain. These properties make it an ideal material for the kitchen, where functionality and appearance should go hand in hand.

Step by step guide

Preparation

The beech glued wood panels were treated with linseed oil 5 times, each time with a drying time of 5 hours. Any spots were partially smoothed beforehand with fine sandpaper

Montage

The old worktops were dismantled and then the necessary recesses for the new induction hob and the sink were sawn out.
The sink and induction hob were installed and connected, as was the new oven in the existing oven base cabinet.
All plates were screwed together (sink, stove base cabinet, drawer cabinet) on the left side the long plate was supported, as well as a support bar was attached to the sink base cabinet.

Finish

We quickly attached the Ikea telescopic legs to the table top, aligned them and our project was completed
