How To Effectively Combine Different Natural Stones In Your Kitchen Is it time for a kitchen makeover? If your answer is yes, take a look at some of the beautiful natural stone tiling options available. Natural stones look amazing and have the ability to turn the average kitchen into a thing of beauty. Here at Marble Matters, we have a variety of natural stones available including marble, travertine, and limestone of varying sizes, colours, and finishes. Natural stone tiles are versatile and can be used for benchtops, floors and feature walls. We also have a range of natural stone basins that will look great in your kitchen. Let’s take a look at how to maximize your efforts and effectively combine different natural stones in your kitchen.
For The Floor To effectively use different natural stones in your kitchen, a good rule of thumb is to segregate your kitchen into pieces such as floor, walls, and benches. Pick a natural stone that tickles your fancy and designate it to one area. You might choose marble for your floor. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different colours and sizes when it comes time to designing your floor. Get creative and have fun, and who knows what beautiful patterns you can discover? Think of designing your kitchen with a holistic approach. This involves thinking of the overall outcome as a whole. Earlier, we said to segregate your kitchen into three parts. Although segregated you should try and maintain some congruency overall by colour matching so that your kitchen looks complete.
On The Wall Natural stones look great as feature walls. There are many approaches to take, but one of our absolute faves here at Marble Matters is the rustic look. This involves using roughly cut natural stone bricks to creates a textured wall aesthetic. It looks like an old rustic cabin from old-time England and will look amazing in your kitchen. Marble tiles can also be used for the splash back above along the kitchen sink. We prefer to use a darker colour on the walls to give the aesthetic a cave-like appeal. If you really want to get carried away, cover every wall in natural stone for a unique and beautiful effect. Remember to match your tiles according to colour and pattern so that you don’t end up with something that looks similar to a dog’s breakfast!
Natural Stone Benchtops Natural stone bench tops look remarkable in the kitchen. Not only does natural stone look great, it’s functional and that’s why so many renovators are choosing natural stone. We find that marble makes for the best benchtops. The patterns are a thing to behold and look great when your pottering about the kitchen preparing food. It’s easy to let your thoughts wander and gaze at the mesmerising patterns. When it comes time to combining different natural stones, use your eyes and instinct to find a look that appeals to you. Do a Google search for some ideas and designs that register with your eye and give you inspiration.
