In addition, people have begun to rediscover wood countertops, especially those featuring hardwood slabs. With exotic names like Bubinga, Amazakoue, and Sipo Mahogany, hardwood slabs can add a distinctive style and look to a kitchen. Colors suit a variety of tastes – from a rich mahogany brown to burgundy red and salmon pink to bright orange.

The ability to introduce wood to a kitchen can span a wide spectrum of tastes from traditional to contemporary. Using a wood such as Zebrawood can add an edgy and contemporary style, while Mahogany is timeless in both traditional and contemporary design.
