Family-friendly, surprisingly affordable and resistant to chipping and scratching, granite looks incredible. Additionally, keeping it in tip-top condition is easier than you may have realised. What’s more, this natural stone will always add value to your home.
So if you’re considering granite countertops for your kitchen, here are our tips for styling this space:
Play around with depth
You can have some slim work surfaces, coupled with others which are more weighted for an eye-catching look. So balance high impact with something more subtle and understated.
Life on the edge
Spend time on your countertops’ edge profile. And remember to discuss this aspect of the finish with your stone provider or interior designer.
Embrace different textures
Take the rough with the smooth! And combine rugged surfaces with those which are flawlessly smooth. This can help make your kitchen beautiful as well as functional.
Go dark and light
You can also go for countertops in contrast colours, for example a darker granite countertop can look great paired with crisp white cabinets.
Reclaim your countertop!
If you’re remodelling your kitchen, there are a few things you can do to help the environment. And one step you can take is to avoid buying a new worktop in the first place. So it’s perhaps not surprising that there’s been a huge surge in demand for reclaimed models – you could do the same in your kitchen, too.
Jewel in the crown of your kitchen!
The trend for jewel tones in homes is huge at the moment. And emerald green seems to lead the charge. So remember – granite doesn’t have to be grey!
Curve appeal
Equally, your granite countertop doesn’t have to have hard, square angles. Curves add a gentler, mor ergonomic silhouette to your kitchen. They soften the space, while offering a reminder that granite is a natural material.
Curves are especially well suited to a family home and, for example, allow people to sit comfortably around a kitchen island.
