What makes kitchens truly luxurious? Certainly, the magical mix of exclusive materials, design, and functionality. The countertop is one of the most important elements of the kitchen, not only for its functionality but also because, often having significant dimensions, it is one of the design elements that most influences the style and beauty of the space. In this article, we will delve into the topic of marble for kitchens.
Marble… and kitchens that become luxurious.
Marble, whether used for table tops or incorporated into bathrooms, is an iconic cornerstone in the history of Italian design. If we can still admire it in these small masterpieces, it’s because it has a great ability to withstand the test of time, wear and tear, temperature fluctuations, and stains, although not those caused by humidity and acidic substances. Another key feature of using marble in kitchens is its aesthetic versatility, which is essential for transforming an ordinary kitchen into a true luxury kitchen. A classic example is its vast color range, from the white of Carrara marble (widely used in the most exclusive bathrooms) and the yellow of Giallo Siena, to the deep green of Verde Guatemala marble and the gray of Bardiglio Imperiale, covering all of its hues.
Luxury Kitchens Thanks to the Unique Durability of Granite
There are also various types of cuts (a beautiful one is the open-pore cut, which makes the veins symmetrical and gives the kitchen that unmistakable touch of luxury) and processing techniques. Not to mention that each slab has its own unique characteristics, making it irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind.
Made in Italy brand
Among the many natural stones, such as travertine, that can be used for worktops, a true historical gem is granite, both as a luxury element and as an actual “working partner.” This natural stone has a high resistance to impacts, abrasions, and scratches, which are hardly visible in lighter colors. It is also robust against aggressive chemicals, solvents, and detergents, and has a low absorption of liquid substances.
Exclusively…
The color variations, also thanks to the distinctive grain, are numerous and not only allow you to enrich the space with beautiful surfaces, but also to introduce intriguing references to the other colors in the kitchen, creating a joyful and lively atmosphere. It’s no coincidence, in fact, that granite is increasingly used in smaller bathrooms as well, enhancing them and making them more livable with truly original solutions.
