Bored with the old dull look of the kitchen? Is it the same color, same countertop and same cabinet? A few changes here and there can make a lot of difference to the way the kitchen looks. How about making a combination of marble and granite with stainless steel? Often we fail to notice that small changes can make a lot of differences to our homes. People who plan to buy a house often look at the functionality of the kitchen. A best granite kitchen can up the market value of the house.

If you follow five basic rules, you can make your granite kitchen one of the focal points in the house. The worktops look worn and dull. It is time to change them and go for a newer design. You need not change the layouts of the cupboards. Make a few changes like adding silicone sealant and odd joints in the worktops and the kitchen will boast of a new look. After working on the worktops, it is time to add some tiles on the worktops. Who said that tiles are meant only for walls? Tiles can be added on worktops and they can protect the walls from any messy splashy affair.
