Let me give you five good reasons why a honed granite worktop should be at the top of your wish list for your kitchen....
1) It'll look fantastic.
Of course, when you're planning a kitchen, it goes without saying that for any Modern Country Style devotee, looks will be near the top of your list of requirements and honed granite deserves a gold medal on that list. It screams luxury in the calmest, most understated voice imaginable.
2) It'll last and last and last.
Granite has stood the test of thousands of years in the ground, exposed to all the elements can throw at it, You can trust that this is not going to be the primping and preening high-maintenance nightmare of some currently "trendy" worksurfaces.
3) It's versatile
If you prefer more of a contemporary country kitchen then honed granite should be your pick. And if your looking to bring a bit of country to your kitchen then honed granite brings a gentle, natural softness that few other materials can match.
4) It's easy maintenance
Please, please, purrrrlease, do yourself the most almighty favour and DON'T be swayed by high-maintenance kitchen work surfaces. You really need to be able to relax when you're cooking and not worry if this spillage will stain or that grease will smear. No matter how careful you are with a pale, porous worktop, IT WILL STAIN. But with honed granite worktop, a quick wipe over with Method Granite cleaner and it looks, honestly, as good as the day it was fitted.
Yes, gorgeous matt black honed granite worktops will finish off any Modern Country Style kitchen. What are you waiting for?!
