Where will I find ordinary laminate worktop but in better colours?

[KatyMac]

Ikea & Wickes & B&Q are all fairly boring

Is anywhere with anything a bit more fun?

They do loads. I chose from the Axiom range but there are others. Independent kitchen fitters may have swatches, or Formica will send samples if you narrow it down to a few possible designs

Worktop express was great for us

Oh I have just fallen in love with recycled glass!!! Bet I can't afford it

Everything is beige and grey and wood and black

I want green or purple or copper or something interesting!

Probably not the cheapest though, as these are mostly not off-the-shelf mass market products. Most worktops on sale are made to suit most people's preferences, which tend to be for surfaces that look vaguely like natural materials - wood or stone.

@KatyMac purple worktops and orange worktops with prices

Aw thanks guys, no way will I get away with purple!! DH said no!

I love this - but I bet its expensive!!

I used Solid Surface Kitchen and bought the Duropal terrazzo -like worktop. Cheaper than real terrazzo but colourful . SSK had very good customer service.

Howdens?

We have this compact laminate from Howdens. The cooler shade really stands out in the light www.howdens.com/kitchens/kitchen-surfaces/worktops/howdens-3m-x-125mm-square-edge-caldeira-compact-laminate-worktop-wht7060

I remember looking up the prices of recycled glass worktops once and no, they aren't cheap.

If you want to fall in love with something you REALLY can't afford, look up Pyrolave...

I could live with any of these but it will smash my budget!!

Are you trying to make me cry @Persipan ?
So pretty!!

I might get away with these but they arent really what I want

Maybe I should dump the idea of green worktop and get grey with a green kitchen?

We saw the ikea kitchen in green and DH didn't like it

He loved the green wickea kitchen but it's 3 times the price!

So back to the green worktop drawing board

WHat do you think about this

Very gray

@KatyMac
Green looks awful for a worktop. Paint the walls green. Have a neutral worktop - always.

I think a green worktop looks like mould….

Have you looked at DIY kitchens? They have a big range of colours and styles and won’t be as expensive as Wickes. Fantastic quality too.

How about a boring worktop and colourful bacboard. We have this with oak effect worktop and love it, such a warm feel, and so much easier to clean than tiles!
Comes in blue and copper, which we almost went for
