So you’ve had your brand new kitchen installed along with some fantastic natural wood kitchen worktops.
Whether produced from walnut, oak, maple or beech timber, natural wood kitchen worktops look beautiful. So, to maintain their natural beauty and extend their life why not follow our guide to taking care of your natural wood kitchen worktops:
One of the best treatments for natural wood worktops is using good quality oil. Once installed your worktops should be treated with oil monthly (for the first six months), and every six months thereafter. If your worktops are used regularly or they are fitted near a sink, then more frequent maintenance will be required.
If your natural wood kitchen worktops are oiled, then splashes of water will form into globules. However, over time the sheen will ware and water will wet the wooden surface. If this happens it means it’s time to re-oil your kitchen worktop again.
Using a butcher’s block or chopping board is recommended when chopping food – do not cut directly on the worktop.
It’s extremely important to avoid exposing your new worktops to extreme heat – when taking hot pans of a hob, use a trivet. Also, don’t place rough bases on natural wood, these can cause damage to the wood in the form of scratches.
Ensure that your kitchen worktop is oiled from the underside and place a moisture barrier above any appliances.
Clean up any spills immediately. Whether it’s bleach, washing up liquid, cleaning sprays – these must be dealt with instantly.
When natural wood worktops are exposed to light they will darken or mellow over time. Placing large items such as bread bins on the worktop for a long period will cause light patches – to avoid this, regularly move items around to allow the wood to darken evenly.
You also have the option of sanding down the surface, but this is costly and it can be messy.
Natural wood is the ideal material for kitchen worktops because it is a solid surface, and one of the main advantages is that it gains character by becoming richer and deeper in colour whereas other work surfaces don’t age as well.

STUNNING TRANSFORMATION
Our clients chose Kitchen Design Centre because they wanted a dedicated expert to lead the way, rather than a mere supplier of parts
They required a team to guide them from the first spark of an idea to the final finishing touches.
The brief presented a unique challenge – transforming a blank-canvas garage into a space that celebrated the charm of a traditional barn conversion. The room, featuring expansive wooden beams, demanded a thoughtful design.
More than just a kitchen, the clients required a family-oriented living hub with a dining area tailored for entertaining.
Working with Simon, the Manager at our Barrowford showroom, provided total peace of mind. He spent time listening and meticulously exploring various layouts until the vision felt just right.
The result is a traditionally-styled kitchen filled with modern gadgets. The breathtaking Dark Blue Shaker cabinetry serves as a bold anchor, paired with light-toned units to accentuate the warmth of the timber beams and flooring.
