One of the nicest trends in modern decorating is the marble backsplash. Once out of fashion, these elegant additions to any tiled room are a great way to create a unified design theme and a striking image. While a slab of marble over a sink or stove may seem simple, the elegant beauty adds a refinement to any space. First of all, marble is anything but plain. Most decorators use marble only for the most ornate houses, but the stone is hardly as expensive as you'd be led to believe. The fine white finish with intricate grey and silver veins is classical, reminiscent of centuries of Classical and NeoClassical architecture, yet understated enough to let your own décor take center stage. What's more, marble is the ideal material to have in your kitchen or bathroom. It is heat resistant, so it's safe to keep by the stove, and it's also non-staining. No matter what you spill on a marble backsplash, you'll be able to wipe it up with no effort, which simply is not true for most synthetic materials and ceramic tiles. There is a reason that so many great works of art were carved from marble, it is both simple and beautiful. Add this classical touch to your interior decorating without creating any more work for yourself. Order a custom-cut slab of marble to go over your stove or sink, and let the rest of your room fall into place around this gorgeous centerpiece. |
