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.

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.
