Kitchen draining area/ board - is the only solution to wipe dishes straightaway?

[WhoWhereWhatWhy]

We’re finally having a new kitchen. Our current one has a stainless steel sink and a half and attached draining board, which has worked really well for us. But when we upgrade the kitchen to a mid range one we think we’ll have an undermounted sink, and i am really hoping that the budget will stretch to Corian/Dekton for the worksurface.

I never ever dry up after I’ve washed up, and often leave bits from the dishwasher that aren’t fully dry to drain on the drainer.

Am I going to need a personality change and dry up straightaway when our new kitchen is in? I can’t see what draining board options I have other than a plastic one that sits on the worksurface or grooves (my fear is that everything will drop to the floor off the side and that water will just pool).

All advice welcome.

If you go for corian worktop - you can have amazing raised lip at the front edge in front of sink and drain groves. Its so cool! Stops water dripping from wet sink area onto floor. Also instead of groves - that get mucky- go for a flat slated design.

I think you are daft to let the look of a kitchen override the required functionality.
