Beautiful looking interiors will lure anyone. It is the preferred choice of Australians who wish to enhance the interiors of their home by introducing a dash of style, elegance, drama, and at times quirkiness. One of the easiest ways is to add accessories that can accentuate the look of the place. One such example is New York marble. It is not only amazing to look at but is extremely durable.
Distinctive Characteristics Of New York Marbles
The name New York is a little misleading, though. The marble is found in Turkish quarries and is identified by the blue veins. It also goes by other names.
- New York Carrara White
- Mugla White New York
- White New York Marble
It stands apart from other marble slabs in the sheer brilliance of its white surface. The abstract criss-cross and splash of purplish veins across its surface bring an air of exclusivity and an ageless charm to the marble.
New York marble is available both as slabs and as tiles. Since they are in their natural form, each slab may differ in look and texture. Marble slabs are unprocessed and honed marble sheets straight from the quarry. They are cut into required sizes according to the demands of the buyer.
The tiles are uniform slabs that are pre-cut and polished before being available to the customer. Whether you choose a slab or tiles depends on the space where you want to use the marble. Due to the strikingly white base of the marble, the space where the marble has been used looks bigger and brighter.
As is common practice, marble is mostly used as floors or walls in the kitchens and bathrooms. New York marble, too, whether in its unpolished or polished form, has been the favourite for those who wish to transform the interiors of their kitchen and bathrooms into something spectacular.
The starkly contrasting lilac-shaded veins on the marble surface enable it to be used as a stunning statement piece and not just used traditionally on walls and floors. Its rather dramatic look successfully creates, wherever it is used, by default, a space that looks a class apart.
How Can Dramatic Effects Be Created With New York Marble?
As mentioned above, the uneven splash of purple streaks on the white surface makes its usage flexible. This gives it a unique style statement. You can just use it as you would do with any marble slab or tile as a wall or floor option. However, due to the dramatic detailing on its surface, New York marble is being used widely for creating an exclusive interior where the marble is projected as a style statement rather than just a natural stone slab or tile.
It is frequently being used as benchtops, a wall trim, or even as a splashback. The inclusion of the New York marble in any space creates such a stunning impact that it is now being increasingly used as a standalone central feature of that particular space.
Here are some ideas on how a dramatic look can be created using the New York marble effectively.
- The marble works rather well when used with metallic and wooden fittings.
- You can use it to create an eye-striking appeal in a simple looking space.
- For a completely mind-blowing effect, the extensive use of the marble on the floor, walls, the vanity, and other similar surfaces within a bathroom can be juxtaposed with pristine white sanitary fittings and muted silver trimming the mirror and cabinets.
- It can be blended with monochrome to create a stunning impact that brings out the lilac hues in sharp focus for a more stark and minimalistic look.
- A classic look can be recreated with its pairing with pink-hued furniture and fittings.
Conclusion
New York marble not only creates stunning interiors that create a long-lasting impact, but their durability and toughness add to its appeal. This has helped it create a niche for itself in the Australian market, especially for those who want to achieve a spectacular effect in the interiors of their homes.
