Marble Slab Backsplash Around Window

The solid surface creates a different visual effect than say tile.

Marble slab backsplash around window.

See how these marble backsplash ideas incorporate marble tiles slabs and mosaics to add ageless kitchen appeal. A backsplash may seem like a small detail but it s often the focal point of the kitchen. Marble look porcelain tile with detailed veining. Not only will it help protect from food splatters but the backdrop is what most people will comment on when they see a new kitchen design.

I have been obsessing over using a marble slab as a back splash ever since i posted about this home. Classic marble moves center stage in today s kitchens as captivating backsplashes that amplify style while providing protection against splatters. A slab backsplash is simply a backsplash made of a continuous material or in cases like this one a few large pieces with the occasional break for an appliance or a cabinet. I m pretty sure i d seen this application before but for some reason seeing it in that particular setting and layout really hit home for me.

We just let the tile do its thing not making the lines in the tile match up just letting it be very organic and natural strohmaier says. And marble especially slabs featuring dramatic veining acts like a piece of art. When matched to the countertop it creates an especially big bold look. The white vertical ship lap cabinets have a sophisticated quality with a rustic feel that works nicely with the exposed wood ceiling beams.

I think we had just started doing kitchen layouts for our renovation with our architect and i was focused on large window runs on the back of the house.
