Builders today do not consider stone countertops an upgrade. In fact, home owners EXPECT granite in kitchens and baths. While many play it safe with medium tones that are easy to design around, decorators are encouraging their clients to make a statement when it comes to the many unique stones on the market today. Because of new technology available to quarry it, there are some very interesting natural slabs available. One popular selection is onyx which is a translucent stone with dramatic veining that allows you to see light and shadows through it. Designers use this unique stone in applications that can be backlit such as bathroom vanities and bar tops. Instead of selecting your stone after you have planned your upgrade - use stone as a starting point! Bold colors of marble and granite in blue, violet, red, pink and gold can take the decor of a room from safe to sensational.
