QUICK TIPS
Tumbled Marble Flooring
We’re seeing designs rich in natural
materials. It’s a trend that will continue. Most people select
either marble or porcelain in large 24 inch-by-24-inch tiles that they can
lay close together and make the grout lines disappear. They’re choosing
these materials for the Mediterranean, earthy kind of feel that you can
get with soft-toned, tumbled marbles
like travertine and saturnia. These come in light beige, creamy milk
tones. They have a buffed rather than polished finish and offer a really
clean look. The larger pieces are laid on the diagonal. The kitchens open
onto the dining rooms and family rooms and the marble continues throughout
the house, creating a nice, big open room feeling.
