Happy Marble Monday!

Fratantoni Interior Designers has designed homes nationwide, from simply elegant to intricately detailed. The Formal Mediterranean is one of Fratantoni Interior Designers’ custom luxury homes. With a modern feel and marble accents throughout the home, it has a wow factor! Marble can be an elegant addition to the home to bring in brightness and a light ambiance. As an incredibly strong stone, marble has been used to build and design numerous structures over time. Today, marble is used in homes not only because of its aesthetic elegance but also because of the incredible durability it provides.

Starting in the kitchen, the benefits of marble countertops and islands in the Formal Mediterranean are endless. Marble is a highly durable material, perfect for high-traffic places such as the kitchen. If you are an avid cook, marble comes with the benefits of being a natural stone that is heat resistant. Not only does heat resistance benefit the cook in your family, but scratch resistance does as well. If marble gets scratched, the noticeability is not as clear as other materials. Another benefit of marble countertops and islands is that it is a softer material, as marble can be cut with straight lines, and other design aesthetics to match your home style.

The Formal Mediterranean has a breathtaking entrance, a grand marble staircase below a dazzling chandelier. As a high traffic area, the durability of marble is beneficial on the stairs. The easy-to-clean surface also allows for the stairs to be cleaned within minutes so they can continue to sparkle. One great asset of marble in your home is the array of colors to choose from, and the patterns are endless.
