Many people have a stainless steel kitchen sink, a stainless steel kettle or a stainless steel fridge, but how many have stainless steel work surfaces? Well, I’m one of the rare few. It gives my kitchen a bit of an industrial feel, which is what I was going for, and I’m a little bit OCD, and stainless steel is very easy to clean. I didn’t really think of stainless steel until I saw them installed at a show home, and ever since that day, I never forgot about them. Stainless steel worktops can be a really stylish kitchen surface, when kept clean, but the other main advantage is price. They’re often cheaper than solid oak or granite, and there are many good deals to be found in your local kitchen design stores.
