A Guest Blog Post by Oliver Webb, Director, Cullifords
Recognised for their expertise within the stone industry, wholesaler Cullifords are leaders in their field. With an impressive portfolio of high-quality natural and man-made stones including granite, marble, quartz and limestone – there is a stone to suit any interior.
With many homeowners keen to experiment with stone surfaces in their home and to reflect the emerging trend for colourful kitchens, we’ve teamed up with design expert, Oliver Webb, Director at Cullifords to discuss the ways you can add interest into the kitchen space with a standout granite surface.





There is a common misconception that granite is grey and lifeless, yet this couldn’t be further from the truth – when selected appropriately granite can transform the look and feel of any space. With many people visiting our stone yard with the aim of finding something unusual and unique, it’s given us a real opportunity to show them what granite can really do.
Yet, it’s not just the aesthetics that need to be considered, homeowners also need to look at practicalities like whether to opt for a hard or soft granite option. Kitchen islands exposed to heat and used for food preparation would benefit from hard granite as its heat and scratch resistant. Surfaces with placement near an open window or area exposed to lots of natural light, both hard and soft granite are UV and stain resistant and therefore able to stand the test of time.
With a stone to suit any space, Cullifords has an impressive range of fine quality stones sourced from locations across the globe. With a large yard located in Kingston Upon Thames, the knowledgeable team are always on hand to assist with choosing slabs for any application.
