Stone countertops made with granite, quartz, marble or porcelain, add sophistication and beauty to your home extending beyond just your kitchen and bathroom. Stone materials are suitable for many applications including shelving systems, backsplashes, fireplace hearths and surrounds, integrated sinks and more.
Floating shelves are a worthy replacement for more traditional wood and bracket shelving. Sleek vein matched shelf boxes supported by invisible brackets hidden behind walls create visual interest while retaining functionality. Slender quartz and porcelain materials offer both strength and splendor for this type of application. Simple and inexpensive single piece floating stone shelving can also be created using wide variety of materials.
When designing your kitchen consider replacing traditional tile or 4" backsplashes behind your countertops with a full height backsplash made of the same material as your counters. Installing quartz, granite and porcelain offers durability and easy maintenance by eliminating grout lines. Vein matched against your counters, full height backsplashes can substantially improve the visual appeal of your kitchen.
Upgrade your living room by covering your fireplace with granite, marble or ledger stone. Natural or painted brick fireplaces pop when covered in natural stone materials. A full wall of ledger stone tile can provide a rustic backdrop for your fireplace. Look for vintage marble in colors that match your décor to take your project to the next level.
When renovating a bathroom consider eliminating the sink. Stunning vignettes can be created with integrated sinks created from the same material as the vanity top. Sleek and seamless in design with built in drain systems, integrated vanity sinks offer a remarkable substitute to traditional drop in or undermounted sinks.
