New Home Decor

Hi my vote goes for tiles.
Marble , yes it requires polishing after 3 years and imaging the time and amount of work you have to do for it (with all things inside home !!!OMG I can't imagine)

Also when I was thinking of marble to my new house , one of the showroom person told me that granite & marble requires special cleaning means
1. Using mild cleaner
2. mandatory cleaning with fresh water (once again all over )
3. Finally we need to wipe it with dry cloth as leaving it to dry naturally will cause water marks. I heard the this (drying naturally) for kitchen countertops for granites .
Anyhow make sure you clear this with concerned person .

Also after seeing so many showrooms for vitrified tiles , I was amazed by the options available .If you choose 3 X 3 tiles (bigger than the usual one) at high end vitrified tiles it almost gives you the same feeling of Marbles.

 

Hi

For kitchen platform ,Granite is the best option and for the flooring and walls go for tiles.For walls go for a light coloured tiles and for the floor go with neutral colours like light brown,light grey etc.Don't go for a too light or a too dark colour.

Hope this tip would be helpful for you to make a decision.

I too agree with Ramya . Granite is best choice for kitchen countertop.
For floor tiles, like she mentioned go for a neutal color (very light brown (sand color)..etc) but for the wall tile my option is different .

If it is for kitchen backsplash, depending on the color of the cabinet I like wall tiles to be bright color. say some green, orange etc .If the cabinet is ivory or white then any bright color of ur choice will go very well with black granite countertop


Search google images "coloured kitchen backsplash" to get an idea

Hi adisum,

though I am not very sure marbles are quite expensive than tiles in general
But I have not made any extensive search about the cost as I was determine to go for Tiles

 

Hi Aditi,

If it is Indian marble it would be double the cost of tiles and if it is Italian marble,it would be 3 times the cost of tiles.Moreover tile would be like fix and forget.It doesn't require regular maintenance.Whereas any marble in that case would require regular maintenance which would be an additional cost.So considering all this tile would be the cheapest and the most durable option.
