Every detail matters when it comes to choosing the worktops for your home. Among the many decisions you make, the edge profile is a significant one that can dramatically influence your space’s overall aesthetic and functionality. One of the edge profiles that stands out for its timeless elegance and classic appeal is the Ogee profile edge.
Choosing the right edge profile for your space is more than just a finishing touch; it’s an opportunity to infuse your personality and style into your home. The Ogee profile edge is a testament to the beauty of classic design, proving that some things never go out of style and we show this in more detail below.
A new project we have just completed in Loughton with the Artemistone Calacatta Cremo in a 30mm thickness. The kitchen island features the Ogee profile edge to provide this open-plan space with a focal point. We look forward to seeing the finished photos of this space very soon.
What is the Ogee Profile Edge?
Describing the Ogee profile edge – it’s characterised by its distinctive S-shaped curve, combining a concave arch on top with a convex curve beneath.
The graceful design creates a sense of depth and sophistication, making it a popular choice for both traditional and contemporary interiors. The Ogee edge adds a touch of luxury to any worktop material, from granite and marble to engineered quartz.
How to Make Your Space Timeless and Elegant
There are many reasons why the modern homeowner gravitates towards the Ogee profile edge, but one main reason is how it gives a timeless elegance. This edge profile exudes a sense of refinements and craftsmanship, reminiscent of classic European architecture and design.
These intricate and beautiful curves can transform an ordinary countertop into a stunning focal point, enhancing the room’s overall aesthetic. How about opting for this profile edge on just the island – giving instant attraction?
A Versatile Design & Visual Appeal
Ogee edges are versatile and a compelling feature for the home, where a striking contrast is created against the flat surface of the countertop. It adds visual appeal when designing a rustic farmhouse kitchen, a luxurious bathroom, or a sleek modern space. Complementing many decor themes, the adaptable design provides a cohesive look for both traditional and contemporary elements.
This type of edge profile can make thicker countertops appear lighter and more delicate, adding a sense of balance and harmony to the space. If your space includes plenty of natural or artificial lighting, the elegant curves will catch the light beautifully, highlighting the natural patterns and colours of the worktop material.
