How you could incorporate granite in your home

Known for its robustness, its timeless appearance and its ability to last, granite has long been a popular choice for homeowners in their décor. But if you thought this gorgeous material was just for the kitchen – think again.

This natural stone is so versatile you can integrate it seamlessly so that it adds a touch of class and elegance to various parts of your home:

We know we said granite isn’t just for kitchens. But, of course, it does look great in there! For one thing, it resists heat well, along with scratches and stains. So it’s the ideal choice for the high-traffic areas of the heart of your home. And you can think in terms of a flamed, polished or honed finish.

Granite is also good at shrugging off moisture, so it’s highly practical for things such as vanity units. If you’re after a more dramatic feel, opt for darker shades of this stone. Alternatively, if you want something altogether more serene, go for a lighter hue.

Granite floor tiles come in varied finishes, shapes and sizes, to create a floor that enhances any room. Even high-traffic areas of heavy footfall, like your hall, kitchen or bathroom, can enjoy a new lease of life with granite flooring.

A granite backsplash makes an amazing focal point for your bathroom or kitchen. Again, there’s plenty of variety, so it should be easy to find something

that suits your personal tastes. And you can have a backsplash whichmatches a worktop – or one which creates a contrast.

Add a hint of warmth to your living room with a fireplace surround crafted from heat-resistant granite. And you can choose a look that’s either neutral or bold, to suit what you already have and, again, your personal taste.

These create an eye-catching, dramatic feature which adds visual appeal plus texture. You can always incorporate colour or a bold pattern to heighten the sense of making a statement.
