When it comes to design options, you are literally only limited by your imagination. There are thousands of exciting combinations of tile and stone materials to suit every interior. Quality retailers in areas like New York City offer exciting collections of natural stone, mosaic, and tile collections. These materials increase the value of your property and add a sophisticated style to any area of your home or commercial real estate. If you haven't looked at some of the new tiles available, you are in for a treat. Let's take a look at some of the exciting materials which are now available to interior designers, contractors, and home owners.
Natural Stone adds a luxurious quality to any room. Marble, Waxed stone, Limestone, Ony and Granite are popular choices for vanity tops, kitchen counters, and surfaces. These stones are imported from countries all over the world like Italy, India, Spain, France, Portugal, and Brazil. Each stone has its own unique qualities. For example, marble looks rich and luxurious but scratches easily. Limestone offers a warm, natural element and Granite is both beautiful and durable. Consider your lifestyle and interior features when choosing stone surfaces.
Mosaic tile offers almost endless possibilities for interior walls and floors, bathrooms, kitchens, backslash, swimming pools and saunas. Mosaic designs range from simple square to mixed medium, patterns, and katami stone. Add an extra dimension to your décor by incorporating a pattern or mosaic masterwork into the design. Mosaic styles are available in natural stone, metal, glass and ceramic tiles. Some materials work better in high moisture areas than others. Look for tiles that work best for each area. Remember you can use several different tiles in any area, so a non absorbent tile can be used by the tub and a semi absorbent tile can be used on a bathroom wall.
