Marble has long been considered one of the best ways to give your home a rich and luxurious feel. But if you’re not sure how best to use this amazing material in your home, you might be surprised at the many different areas of your home that can truly benefit from the careful application of a little marble. The best part is that you don’t have to spend a fortune to achieve fabulous results.
We have been using table lamps to add a touch of beauty and light to many rooms in our homes for decades. What better way to combine your need for a little extra light in your home with the desire for a little marble than to combine the two. Add a couple of marble table lamps to your living or bedroom, not only does this add the needed light, but it does so with style.
Even if you can’t afford larger items made from marble, this is no reason why you can’t add a few smaller touches. Look around your home, especially the bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom. Why not swap out those boring cupboard knobs and drawer pulls for ones made from marble. Then, of course, there are marble soap dishes, soap dispensers, toothbrush holders, small dishes for things like coins, your keys, hair ties, and so forth.
If you love indoor plants, why not show them just how much you love them by swapping out those boring terra cotta or plastic planters with a variety of marble planters. They can give your indoor plants, flowers, and shrubs a luxurious new home that is sure to spruce up the look of your home. The good news is that marble planters are not that much more expensive than good quality ceramic planters.
Of course, there is nothing quite like adding marble countertops to your kitchen and bathrooms. The biggest problem with marble countertops is that they can be quite expensive unless you know how and where to shop for the best deals. One of the best ways to save money buying your marble countertops is to search for distributors who sell cultured marble rather than natural marble. This type of marble is actually manufactured in a factory rather than pulled from the ground in a mine.
The good news is that cultured marble looks just as pretty as natural marble, but for the most part is significantly less expensive. To get the best deal, contact several distributors and ask for estimates that include the marble countertops, cutting to specifications, delivery, and installation. You may also want to make sure the company you choose will also haul your old countertops away when they are done.
Marble has long been a very popular material for use in luxury homes around the world. But thanks to many modern advances in the use of both natural and cultured marble, you no longer have to spend a fortune to give your home the look and feel of luxury. Spend a little time wandering around your home looking for places you can use marble to add a touch of class and luxury.
