The countertop should also be hardy and easy to maintain. Granite, for example, is among the more affordable, durable, and aesthetically pleasing option. Darker colours are also recommended if you’re worried about stains - the above black granite countertop, for example, pair very well with the white tiles, furniture, and hardwood floors.
A full granite countertop can set you back between RM180 to RM600 per square feet; perhaps a bit on the pricey side, but still a good investment for a long-lasting, beautiful kitchen.
