Bulky Marble

Marble tops are usually used as thin pale surfaces, but things are changing and now we see statement, chunky marble pieces conquering the hearts of many. The altered approach to this material creates a bolder effect. You can have a broad marble vanity top to hold your washbasin or thick kitchen countertops and tables. However, not only has the width become a highlight, but this statement element is also coming in different colours, with lots of veining and patterns imparting a retro feel. The trendy shades and types are funky marbles in Irish green, red Rosso and Levanto marble, red Travertine, Calacatta Viola and many deep black hues. Your countertops will become the eye-catching element of your bathroom and kitchen.

Colour Of The Year

Pantone is an international authority on colours, and they select a hue to reign every year. For 2023, Viva Magenta (a mix between red and violet) is the chosen one. The bold hue and its variations have been an inspiration to many designers and you will spot it in many areas, such as fashion, beauty and, of course, interior design. It has a chameleon effect when white, grey or black additions are used for tint, tone and shade differences. From Viva Magenta, you obtain Terra Rosa, rusty pink, brownish tones and a magnificent palette of warm colours. You can paint a wall in this shade or add accessory elements to your rooms.
