In early 2015, there was a sudden rush for white granite in the home design industry. Floor tiles, fireplaces, bathroom vanities, wet bars, kitchen countertops--everything had to be white granite. Granite bathroom countertops in Buckhead come in a variety of different shades of white, each piece with its own unique characteristics. Decorating Trends That demand for white granite continues to dominate the industry in 2016 as white, gray, and black color palettes have become increasing popular in modern decorating. The minimalist style of decorating holds to the mantra "less is more." This style highlights a clutter-free environment, accented with stylish art and bold interior design. White marble provides a clean, elegant look that complements the minimalist style in your bathroom or kitchen, as well as other styles like coastal and farmhouse. Countertops Each piece of white granite is comprised of a combination of different minerals that give each piece a unique look. The composition of feldspar, quartz, mica, biotite, and pyroxene attribute to veins of color and splotches throughout the stone and, like a fingerprint, no two pieces are the same. White granite slab countertops make a bold statement in a modern kitchen when paired with black countertops and stainless steel appliances. Standard countertop height is about 1.25 inches, however, many homeowners have customized their kitchens and bathrooms with countertops between 3 and 5 inches thick for a truly bold look. Granite versus Marble White granite and white marble look very much alike to the untrained eye. The difference lies in the mineral composition of each material that gives granite and marble very distinctive qualities. Granite contains a considerable amount of feldspar and quartz which makes granite extremely durable. Marble, on the other hand, contains calcite which is considerably softer and therefore not as durable. For beautiful, white granite bathroom countertop in Buckhead, check out your local showroom.
