Marble Is a Versatile Stone
Marble is a versatile stone that is used in the kitchen for countertops, sinks, and kitchen islands. Some consumers are adding marble handles on the cabinets and around the windows. It is chosen for its quality and appearance in the kitchen. Some kitchens use marble tile for a kitchen backsplash on the walls. It is very pleasing to the eye and your home design and remodeling experts can discuss the pros and cons of this material in your kitchen.
Kitchen Backsplashes Returns
Kitchen backsplashes made of tile are popular and many kitchens use a minimalist style of one color with a simple design on the walls. White, gray, or light pastel colors will show the other features of the kitchen more dramatically. Eco-friendly colors for backsplash tiles have become popular; shades of green, blue, and yellow that emphasize the great outdoors. Besides tiles, some backsplashes are made of glass and marble as an alternative to tile. Basic colors like white, black, and gray will remain a popular choice in the kitchen.
Wood Cabinets
Custom-designed cabinets made with a wide range of wood are popular in kitchen design. Consumers use sustainable wood, cherry, maple, oak, birch, and walnut. Dark and light wood colors are a popular choice because they last a long time. Consumers are opting for unpainted wood cabinets to show off the grain. Some kitchens use open wood shelves in smaller spaces to give the kitchen a roomier look. Wood is eco-friendly and sustainable.
Tile Kitchen Floors
There are different types of tile and consumers are installing tile floors in the kitchen. Ceramic is popular because it does not stain and resists water. Glazed ceramic tiles are even better for moisture control. You can replace the tiles instead of the whole floor should it become damaged. Porcelain tile is even more durable than ceramic and is often used in commercial kitchens. It is easy to clean and only requires sweeping and mopping. These tiles add a decorative element to any kitchen.
