In the kitchen marble is often used on countertops and backsplashes.
Marble backsplash yes or no.
A marble backsplash can look very elegant and stylish but given the characteristics of the material requires constant maintenance.
A few weekends ago we installed our kitchen backsplash ourselves.
No issues whatsoever with staining etc.
The limestone had a warmth to it.
Note how the backplash and countertop meet seamlessly.
After completing our first tiling job i ve got a lot of tips.
To incorporate a luxe feel we often gravitate towards a marble tile says bria.
We had a honed marble tile backsplash in a subway pattern installed three years ago and still absolutely love it.
A colleague who worked in my office for several years was a fine artist with multiple talents but she had not a second of formal interior design training.
The statement making stone is classic and works just as well in sleek modern spaces as it does in traditional kitchens one of the best features about marble is that no matter what room you use it in it instantly elevates the space.
And our keurig is tucked into a corner so it definitely gets coffee splashes a few times a day which i ll admit.
And remember no idea is too outlandish to consider.
Neither of us have done any tiling work before so we were a little nervous about it.
Yes you can do it yourself.
This backsplash is punctuated with a marble shelf.
Just use warm water and dish soap and for stubborn stains a mixture of baking soda and water.
The backsplash tile we had selected was a very plain off white limestone brick shape.
It had no movement just a nice matte simple appearance which was exactly what i wanted to contrast with the movement on the countertop.
We re about to move and it s on my list of eventual to dos for our new house.
