4. Opt for integrated

Craft an uninterrupted sandstone design by picking fronts with a built-in handgrip. These also remove the need for extra fixtures, making cleaning a breeze.

5. Modern and minimal

Ensure all eyes remain on a sandstone interior with handleless units, which have a pared-back look that keeps this calming colour in the spotlight.

7. Strip back surfaces

For a small sandstone kitchen idea, choose compact laminate counters. At 12.5mm-thick, they continue the pared-back look of sandstone schemes.
