Natural stone is available in many shades and colors.  Selecting the perfect color for your home can be a daunting task. Keep in mind that stone countertops and tiles are long lasting and will not need to be replaced often.  Therefore, it is important that homeowners choose stone colors that they will love for many years to come.

Colors play a dramatic role in the overall look of the room.  In rooms that receive a lot of light, you might decide to use a dark stone.  A dark countertop surrounded by slightly lighter cabinets is a popular and traditional look.  Cool colors, like blue and green, tend to make a room feel more spacious.  Warm colors, like brown, yellow, and red, give a cozy feel to your room.

Often, homeowners will choose stone colors that match their existing color scheme and paint colors.  While this approach may work, keep in mind that paint colors can be easily changed should you find a stone that appeals to you but does not match your current room.

The best plan is to select the stone color that you love.  Try not to focus on how it will match your existing room, just choose the color that you think is most beautiful.  You will be more satisfied and excited about your new stone if you choose a color that you absolutely adore rather than one that you think will match.

Once you choose a stone, you can then paint your walls a complimentary shade.  Keep in mind that even the smallest sample of natural stone contains a wide range of colors.  It is a good idea to paint a spot on your wall to decide if the color you choose blends well with your stone surface.

If you would like to give your home an upscale and sophisticated look, consider marble flooring. Whether it is used in a bathroom, kitchen, or hallway, marble offers a classic and timeless style that will last a lifetime.  The unique characteristics of this stone make it an ideal choice for flooring in any home.

Marble is available in a large variety of colors and designs, guaranteed to match the style of your residence.  This broad range allows consumers to choose a stone that will blend with the existing furniture and color palettes of their home.  Whether you desire a neutral or bold shade, you will have no trouble finding beautiful tiles that will complement your décor.

History has shown that marble is an extremely durable material that is ideal for flooring.  Proper maintenance ensures that it will last the lifetime of your home.  Even high traffic areas will remain in excellent condition for years to come.

Marble is moisture resistant when sealed.  This makes it a good choice for bathrooms where humidity tends to be high.  Naturally hypoallergenic, it resists mold and bacteria as well.

Cleaning your marble flooring is simple.  Mild soap and water will take care of most spills.  While it is stain-resistant, spills should be cleaned up quickly to prevent discoloration and damage.

Bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways are the most popular areas that we see this type of flooring, but it can be used in any room in the home.  It is especially popular in warmer climates because it stays cool in hot temperatures.

Because marble is heavy and needs to be installed professionally, the initial cost may be more than other materials.  This may be the reason that some homeowners choose to use these tiles in smaller areas like bathrooms and entryways.
