the colours it is available in. However with variety, comes choice and
making the right choice for your home is an enjoyable and sometimes
daunting task.
Flooring needs to match the walls and the walls need to compliment
the benchtop but the benchtop needs to match the furniture – it’s
very tricky!

3. Our number one tip today is choose the major items first and the rest
will fit into place.
But what does that mean?
It means that you can always repaint a wall – that’s comparatively
cheap but replacing tiles and furniture can be a bit more expensive.
Beautiful marble tiles and a natural stone benchtop can completely
revamp and stylise a room so let’s start getting into your colour
choices.

4. Colour is an amazingly powerful ‘tool’. You can harness it to bring a sense of warmth
and comfort to your home or openness and space depending on what colours you
choose.
As a general rule of thumb – cool colours such as blues and greens will make a room
feel bigger and formal whereas warm colours such as reds, browns, yellows bring
about a sense of warmth. For most rooms, and we’ll focus on the kitchen in our
example, start by choosing the colour of stone that you are in love with. Like we said
above, it’s best to focus on the main features first and then fit the rest around it. By
choosing a stone first that you love, it will frame the rest of the kitchen and you will be
completely satisfied with the outcome rather than just sticking on a benchtop that fits
after the kitchen is built.

5. Marble colours are wide and varied – have a look at our image below
of just a sample of all the marble colours that are available.

Our grid above moves from light to dark and in typically most
of our customers will use what is knows as a monochromatic
approach to colour schemes – that is, if they have dark
cabinetry then they use a light/white marble benchtop to
provide contrast and vice versa – if they have light cabinetry,
then they might use something darker. There is also real
beauty in being more creative with colour schemes such as
combining dark wooden cabinets with a a dark grey marble.
Have a look at some examples below of colour combinations.
