Butcher Block Design Inspiration
Butcher blocks are an incredibly versatile design material whether you're building your dream home or renovating an interior space. Their unparalleled flexibility works perfectly in both traditional and modern designs pairing easily with other materials – stone, metal, concrete or glass – the possibilities are limitless. Our durable and beautiful hardwood slabs are essentially a blank canvas ready to be shaped by your creativity and vision. Read on for a few examples of how to make an Augusta Surfaces butcher block your own.
Kitchen Countertops and Islands
When it comes to kitchen counters and island tops, nothing transforms a space like hardwood. Complement the tones of wood flooring or bring natural warmth to a sleek, industrial design. The character that butcher block surfaces grant your home is unmatched. Plus, as a surface option in kitchen design, butcher blocks offer a lasting value – especially when you choose Augusta Surfaces.
Laundry Room Counters
Why not add sophistication to every room – even utility spaces? Butcher block countertops in a laundry room offer a clean look for a clean space and the functional surface area you need for spot cleaning and folding. Clear finishes are popular for laundry room surfaces offering a natural look that blends with fresh scents of clean sheets, clothes, and towels.
Bar Tops
Looking to add a natural touch to the bar in your home or local watering hole? Our hardwood butcher blocks can bring a rustic feel that pairs well with a cold beer or cocktail and good times. For a non-food-prep bar surface, we recommend a polyurethane finish formulated to seal out moisture and make clean-up easy.
Barn Doors
A popular design choice and space-saving option, sliding barn doors have become a sought-after choice for interior designers and DIY-home remodelers alike. Quick and easy to install, they provide simple solutions where a privacy option is needed. Augusta Surfaces butcher blocks can be easily transformed into barn doors with a little time, a few tools, and door hardware from your local home store.
Tabletops
A table can’t stand without legs – and that’s all you need to turn an Augusta Surface into a beautiful dining room table, desk, or nightstand. We highly suggest four legs – or support at each corner otherwise – if you’re going with a classic square or rectangle design. With numerous table leg options available online or at your local hardware store – or the savvy woodworker to turn your own legs – you can transform a butcher block into a table of any style. You might also select a pedestal base for a more ornate option with greater usable space around the table perimeter. Add a decorative edge profile for a classic look.
Endless Possibilities
Augusta Surfaces have been fashioned into all kinds of end-uses, from workbenches, countertops, and tables to bar carts, bathroom vanities, bookshelves – as well as all kinds of home accents like stair treads, cutting boards, mantels and trim.
