Marble Kitchens

When considering marble for your kitchen, countertops and table tops are the obvious places to begin and without a question, will bring a whole new look and feel to your cooking area. As you can see, it isn’t just about adding marble. The details in the installation and the surrounding accents are what will take your marble kitchen over the top. Be sure to consider beveled edges for the marble, types of sinks, surrounding surfaces, and cabinetry to compliment the marble. Add your own signature pieces such as marble mosaic tiles to the walls, your table top, or add to the back splash area as well. Even think about a custom marble hot pan holder. The possibilities are endless.

Marble Bathroom

The easiest room in the house to marble is the bathroom and yes you can go marble crazy. For a bathroom remodel project, take care to consider marble flooring (be careful to consider traction issues of wet floors), marble countertops, marble trim around your mirrors, marble top tubs, the cabinetry and other accents. The bathroom was created for marble, so seek out as many resource as possible to find really great bathroom remodeling ideas.

If you are looking to do something a bit more sophisticated, the latest trend in marble bathrooms is to install marble vessel sinks (pictured below). These vessel sinks can completely replace a vanity or be installed on top of a vanity as opposed to your traditional sunken sinks.

Even though the bathroom is an easy remodel project, you may want to consider a bathroom remodeling contractor so you can sit back and consider the finer details of the decor. It is not uncommon for people to hire in bathroom remodeling contractors. This move instantly slides you into the position of designer, decorator and project manager relieving you of the many other hats you would have to wear.

Marble Jacuzzi

There is no doubt about it, roman tubs and jacuzzi’s just look so much more elegant when they are wrapped in stone and marble. I would recommend these types of enhancements to any Jacuzzi or tub installation provided there are access panels installed in case anything goes wrong, especially with Jacuzzi’s or Jacuzzi tubs.

Marble Fireplaces

If you are looking to create the perfect focal point in a room, a marble fireplace mantel is the perfect choice. Marble is a beautiful option for your fireplace surround and mantel. Up until recent years marble mantels were only custom made and came with price tags that often blew up consumers remodeling project budgets. Today many manufacturers produce a line of standard marble fireplace mantels. These manufacturers are located all over the world and make available all different variations of marble that has been excavated from many different geographic locations. In addition, these marble fireplaces are now being found in high end home remodeling centers and are relatively easy to install. Any contractor can most likely complete the installation.
