Dunno about the EU trends, but my kitchen was def total copy-paste boring US "builder grade" cabinets ("golden oak" = 🤮) and cheap countertop. I don't have the budget (or interest, honestly) to redo the cabinets and certainly not the countertops (like thousands of dollars just for some slabs of stone!).

But this new centerpiece will do a nice job impressing/distracting the eyes of some future prospective home buyers some day.
