Create a Contemporary Kitchen With Marble And Granite

If you’re planning to buy an ex display kitchen and want to create an ultra-modern space, marble and granite are two materials that may have caught your eye, adding sleek, contemporary flair in this hardworking space.

Marble and granite kitchen counters not only add pizazz to the kitchen – they’re also known for durability, combining style and substance. It’s no wonder, then, that these materials are increasingly popular.

Patterned granite can sit stylishly along bold painted wood, while mosaic tiles can accent the colour in the worktop when interspersed with bands of white tiling. Granite is available in all kinds of colour variations, making it ideal for a range of kitchens with different colour schemes.

Marble, meanwhile, oozes luxury and class. In a dark shade, marble worktops can make a real statement when offset by much lighter

walls and units. The same can be said of a white marble countertop against a bold colour scheme.

Naturally elegant and chic, marble works well in minimalist settings, stealing the show. It can add a luxe touch to an otherwise unremarkable small space or create an exciting sense of over-the-top lavishness in a much bigger kitchen.

As well as countertops, granite and marble can be used to create an attention-grabbing breakfast bar – especially when used for the entire construction as opposed to the top section alone. An alternative idea is to extend a kitchen island into a dining table made with quality granite or marble. Try echoing the material in tiles on the wall behind the island for a beautiful flowing look.
