It's one of the most sought-after attributes for potential home buyers. Ask any realtor, and they'll tell you that buyers constantly ask, "Does it have granite countertops?" It's not hard to understand why. Granite is a beautiful stone that will stand the test of time, both in durability and style. With a variety of colors available, granite goes well in any room, yet how often do you see it in a laundry room? Often overlooked because of its function, there is no reason not to give your laundry room a makeover.

Granite countertops in your laundry room are a great way to spruce up this often overlooked area of the house and perhaps turn folding t-shirts from a dreaded chore to a pleasant experience. This also works extremely well if your laundry room is in a heavy-traffic area of the house, such as a mudroom, or even part of a main room, such as the kitchen. No longer will you want to keep the door shut with a firm "no visitors" policy, but rather you'll find yourself excited to show off your beautiful room. 

Imagine actually looking forward to doing laundry in your new and improved laundry room. For more information on how your rooms can take on a whole new personality with granite, subscribe to our blog.
