Open-plan living with granite kitchens in Brighton

 

With shared family space in open-plan living layouts becoming more common in today’s lifestyle, installing granite kitchen worktops in Brighton provides the opportunity to create a stunning interior design scheme for a multi-use area.  Established in 2003, Affordable Granite is a family-owned company based in Charlwood, Surrey and has achieved a high reputation for the fabrication and fitting of superb quality stone kitchen worktops in Brighton and the South East of England.

Planning your kitchen upscale or designing a completely new one with a blank canvas requires careful consideration, as you will want the open-plan space to flow seamlessly between the kitchen and living/dining area. Choosing granite for your culinary work surfaces provides the benefit of not only an exceptionally durable platform for hygienic food preparation, the wide spectrum of colours and patterns available will compliment any genre of décor and aesthetics.

Granite is a strong and dense natural stone which has been extracted from the global sites where it has formed over aeons of time within the Earth’s crust from cooling magma. The colour tones and veining are indicative of the minerals present during formation and consist mainly of feldspar, quartz, mica and amphiboles, with a smaller percentage of other minerals. If you have a passion for the original, each granite slab will be a unique tapestry of nature, capturing a moment in time when the stone was created.

 

Even within the same piece of granite, variations in shade and pattern are to be expected. With this in mind, the Affordable Granite team advise customers to

view and select the stone in their Surrey workshops, to ensure the visual effect will meet all expectations for the new kitchen worktops and is also within the allocated budget. Granite does have a degree of porosity, but as the stone is sealed with a polymer resin during fabrication, the work surfaces will be resistant to staining and water penetration.

Your granite kitchen worktops may well be the focal point of the open-plan space and as a long-term investment, you will want to create an ambiance and design palette which is welcoming and reflects the home personality. Cool and neutral shades will provide a relaxed and understated concept, while the bolder and more dramatic hues will accentuate a contemporary and vibrant interior design scheme. Affordable Granite will be pleased to bring your vision into a reality.  For more information call us on 01293 863992
