However, if your budget is moderate, you can think about combining a glass countertop with another less expensive surface to make a great design solution and save the money. Such decision will make the glass countertop an eye-catching accent in your kitchen. Combine the glass countertop with some other glass decorative elements, and you‘ll get an absolutely special design.
