Onyx is a rare and beautifully unique stone that can be used to create impressive countertops. It only makes sense, then, that you would want your onyx countertops to shine like the star of the show in the bathroom or kitchen, rather than be covered and forgotten.
Here are a few ways to make your onyx countertops a focal point of your space, as well as a bonus use for onyx you may not have considered.
- Choose the right lighting: If you’ve recently added onyx countertops to your kitchen or bathroom, you might consider changing the lighting as well. You can choose lighting that will complement the unique beauty and enhance the natural veining of the stone.
- Consider your cabinetry: It’s important to note that onyx does not only come in darker shades of black. Depending on the color you choose for your onyx countertops, you might want to reconsider your cabinetry as well. A simpler color will be nicely paired with the onyx to make the stone rather than the cabinetry stand out more in your kitchen or bathroom.
- Consider backsplashes instead: Fortunately, onyx countertops are not the only way to implement the unique stone in your kitchen or bathroom design. You might consider, instead, using it in your backsplashes. This can allow an easier view of the natural beauty if you tend to have more crowded countertops. It can also make the surface easier to maintain.
As with any countertop material, onyx countertops have both advantages and disadvantages; however, their unique beauty will always be a notable aspect that deserves to be highlighted in any capacity. Interested in using onyx in your home? Reach out today to get started with our team.
