3 Surprising Places You Didn’t Think to Put Granite

November 11, 2014

Pictures of Granite Inside HomeWhen many homeowners think about granite in their home, they imagine countertops. But granite is much more versatile and can be used in many other areas of your home to add a more luxurious look and feel. Here are three surprising ways you can use granite in your Kansas City area home.

In Your Shower

Do you enjoy a luxurious shower experience? Add granite shelves in your shower. Not only does it pair well with stone or tile showers, but it performs well in wet conditions, and is easy to keep clean. Another great advantage to adding granite shower shelves is that it gives you space to store your toiletries off the shower floor. It looks very classy and keeps your shower nice and tidy, too. You’ll never have to worry about tripping over your shampoo bottles again.

As a Vanity Top

Another unexpected, but beautiful way to use granite in your home is in your bathroom as a vanity top. This small addition can make a bathroom look so much more sophisticated. You can use light or dark granite depending on the style of the bathroom and the color of the rest of the vanity piece. And again, it’s much easier to clean soap and grime off of granite than other materials.

As Window Sills

Dress up the windows in your home by adding granite sills. This looks especially beautiful in the kitchen, where windows lie above other granite countertops. It adds a custom feel to your kitchen, and is great for people who like to display plants on their windowsills. Sometimes water and dirt can spill over and get messy on windowsills, but it’s very easy to clean up on granite windowsills, and when there is a bit of a mess, it’s less obvious.
