PORCELAIN: KITCHEN AND BATH
KITCHEN COUNTERTOPS: IDEAS TO INSPIRE YOUR DREAM KITCHEN
1. CLASSICS WHITE DESIGN
The look of a classic white
kitchen will never go out of
style. A white quartz countertop
with subtle gray veining, like
this Monterey counter, adds just
enough depth to let it stand out
from the white cabinets. The
white marble backsplash ties it
all together effortlessly.
2. CONTEMPORARY
WHITE
White kitchen
countertops aren’t confined to
simply traditional or
transitional kitchens. This
Aurora Snow countertop is the
perfect complement to a more
modern design. The light color
pairs well with the light
colored wood and open space to
create a light, inviting
atmosphere.
3.
BRIGHT WHITE KITCHEN
Bright white kitchens have long
been popular for lofts and other
modern spaces. This Blizzard
countertop has a cream tone with
a subtle pale grey cabinet base
to coordinate. The rest of the
walls are bright white, with
only some natural wood showing.
The result is a very minimalist
design.
4. RUSTIC
MODERN DESIGN
Rustic
Modern design has been
increasing in popularity for the
last several years. In the
kitchen, that can often mean
blending things like exposed
wood beams in the ceiling with
sleek, contemporary appliances.
White quartz that looks like
marble is the perfect addition
to this design. The bright white
color helps blend in with the
more contemporary aspects, while
the gray veins let it match the
more rural aspect, as well.
5. CONTRASTING
DESIGN
One of the
best things about adding an
island to the design of the room
is the ability to switch up the
color scheme. In this case, the
warm wood of the perimeter is
contrasted with a gray island,
and a white and gray marble-look
quartz countertop. The result is
a dynamic, eye catching room.
6. CRISP WHITE
WATERFALL
Waterfall
countertops are an attractive
way to highlight your island. By
cascading the countertop over
one side, you bring out more of
its color and presence in the
room. In this case, the
bright white quartz countertop
picks up the other clean white
lines in the room. This, in
turn, creates a very cohesive
design.
7.
MONOCHROMATIC GRAYS
One of the most popular neutral
tones for the last few years has
been gray. Gray has more
personality than beige, but
still allows for a lot of room
for personal expression. This
kitchen features many shades of
gray, as well as many textures.
This includes a smooth gray
quartz counter that helps set
the tone for the rest of the
room.
8.
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL DESIGN
Island countertops don’t need to
be a single, flat surface. This
unique design features not only
a built-up counter, but also a
waterfall and a column.
Together, they bring a geometric
interest to the island that
helps it stand out more from the
rest of the kitchen.
9. SOFTLY COLORED
Kitchens are often the gathering
place of the entire family. So,
it may make sense to want to
include approachable, warm, soft
tones in the room. This makes
the area feel more like home to
many people. The soft beige
countertop on this oversized
island does just that, creating
a warm, welcoming atmosphere in
the room.
10.
DEEP, RICH DESIGN
While many people enjoy
light-colored kitchens, dark
colors can also be stunning,
when done right. This kitchen
features a lot of deep grays
offset with warm natural wood.
The quartz counter on the island
is a deep black with white
veins. The white helps soften
the counter visually, letting it
fit in better with the rest of
the room.
11.
BLACK AND WHITE ISLAND
This dramatic kitchen features
an island with black painted
cabinetry. This is topped by a
bright, snowy white quartz
countertop. The contrast between
the two colors draws and focuses
the eye. The design is completed
by soft gray and white marble,
and bright brass faucets and
hardware, breaking up the
monochromatic scheme.
12. LONG ISLAND COUNTER
Long, thin kitchens like this
one look their best when the
island matches the rest of the
room’s dimensions. The sleek
white quartz countertops pairs
well with the length of the
surface. Its subtle colors help
keep the long surface from
becoming overly busy, while the
hints of gray pick up the color
of the walls.
EXTRA 8 TOP REASONS TO
USE LARGE FORMAT LARGE FORMAT
TILES OR SLAB
As we pointed out at the
beginning, there are many
reasons that will make the
balance lean towards
large-format tiles because of
the benefits they provide. Let's
see, the most important
advantages that large-scale
porcelain stoneware offers.
1. IT PROVIDES A
GREATER SENSE OF SPACIOUSNESS
In the same way that light
colors provide the feeling of
greater size to any room, the
size or size of the tiles also
directly affects the perception
of the size of a room. If
you intend to visually extend an
environment, that is to say that
gives the feeling of being
larger than it is in reality,
the most appropriate and
recommended is to lean on
large-scale porcelain tiles.
2. OFFERS A WIDE
VARIETY OF USES
Large surfaces give way to a
large number of innovative ideas
regarding design, since they
offer a large number of uses. It
is possible to use porcelain
tiles for the design of
bathrooms, kitchens,
countertops, work tables, among
many other ideas, due to its
size, consistency and high
technical performance.
3. CREATE A CONTINUITY
EFFECT
The large
extensions in the porcelain
pieces allow coating the
surfaces making use of a small
number of pieces. This
translates into a smaller number
of groupings, which makes it
possible to create a higher
visual level of uniformity.
The reduction of the grouping of
the pieces provokes a greater
visual continuity that only
large-format porcelain sheets
can offer. In addition, as the
pieces are of rectified joints,
the separation between the
sheets is extremely reduced.
Despite this, we recommend that
the filling between pieces be
done with color or tone similar
to the tile, giving the illusion
that it is a single piece.
4. REDUCES
INSTALLATION TIME
Another advantage that we can
highlight about this type of
format, is the reduction of
installation time. When the
porcelain tile is larger, it
requires a smaller number of
sheets, which in turn
facilitates its assembly and
minimizes the time dedicated to
it.
5. SUITABLE
FOR FACADES
The
large-format porcelain stoneware
can use great techniques when
coating the facades, not only
for its size, but for the
benefits of strength and
durability they provide.
6. LARGE FORMATS ARE
TREND
Also, if you
want to be up to date and follow
the dictates of fashion, you
should take note of the use of
large porcelain formats. In
them, you will find the answer
to create spaces of great beauty
and uniqueness. With
large-format tiles you can unify
spaces and are easy to integrate
with other types of porcelain
stoneware such as hydraulic
tiles that provide a more
vintage touch, to design
original and modern rooms.
7. BRUTALIST STYLE
If you are a fan of the
Brutalist Style, large-format
tiles are your great ally. The
crude and primitive nature of
the brutalist style, which
frequently uses materials from
the past, fits perfectly with
the technical characteristics of
large formats, as well as with
its wide range of applications.
8. MORE HYGIENIC
And, last but not least:
large-format tiles are more
hygienic. You wonder why?
With less together, there are
fewer areas in which to store
the dirt. Therefore, large-scale
porcelain stoneware is in itself
more hygienic, providing, at the
same time, a faster and easier
cleaning.
