The dramatic veining and blending of color shades looks spectacular on countertops and marble floors complement any design. While granite, marble, limestone, travertine, slate and soapstone are all beautiful, some are better suited than others for a particular use.
Natural Beauty So if you love the look of marble counter tops and want to use it in your kitchen, choose the honed finish and always use coasters, cutting boards and trivets to protect against scratches.
Natural Aging. Over the years the marble will absorb stains, the patina will change and the stone will begin to reflect the essential character of your home. This is especially true of marble tile floors, which become more beautiful with age and use.
More Ideas. Also, consider using this natural stone for marble bathroom vanities, tile flooring, a marble fireplace, tub decks and marble shower surrounds.
