Prized for its exotic and translucent qualities, Onyx is a beautiful natural stone that brings a sense of elegance and sophistication to any project. When viewed under natural light, onyx has a dimensional and effervescent appearance that has made it a popular choice in the trade and design community. These same qualities are transformed when backlit. Depending on the spectrum of the backlighting source, the colors in onyx may appear warmer and more vibrant; Illumination reveals the subtle details of the complex patterning found in these extraordinary stones.

Oftentimes back-lit onyx is used on vertical installations, such as a wall feature, room dividers or fireplaces.

Over the last few years, we have seen a resurgence in the use of white marble for kitchen countertops. Whether your design aesthetic is modern, contemporary or traditional, this versatile material enhances and compliments your design style.

Many of our customers love the look of white marble but have concerns about its durability as a kitchen countertop. In Europe, marble had been used in kitchens for hundreds of years. Many of these homeowners embrace the unique characteristics of their decades old countertops. Rather than re-polishing the surface, they often allow the countertop to create its own history within the patina and surface texture that develops.

Before you make your final section, below are just a few helpful hints, tips and questions you should ask yourself before choosing the perfect countertop for your home.
