Kitchen Area

Having natural marble in your kitchen, be it the kitchen countertop, the backsplash, or the tile, will make your kitchen look marvelously elegant.

“It’s a natural material with great variety, depending on which species you select and how it’s cut,” says AD100 architect S. Russell Groves. “It creates a really lovely natural pattern, which you don’t get with a lot of artificial materials.”

Even though natural marble looks expensive, they can actually cost less than other natural stone countertop materials. The cost may vary depending on the type and thickness chosen, but natural marble is often less expensive than granite or quartz.

On top of that, natural marble countertops are very suitable for baking and cooking. This material has been the favorites by professional chefs and home bakers because it stays cool and most importantly, dough doesn’t stick as easily to the surface, making it ideal for rolling out pastry.

What we don’t often hear is that marble countertops are heat resistant. Natural marble won’t catch fire or burn, but it’s wise to preserve the finish by not placing any hot pans or pots on the surface without protection.

All it takes for you to make your kitchen look eye-catching is to change the countertop and a natural marble can do just that. It will flip the whole design up. One change and the room looks “marbellous”.
