We could really use a floor plan to help visualize what you have.

Hi, I love the look of marbles as kitchen counter tops but am hesitant because of the problems with staining. There are lots of vitrifed glazed floor tiles which give beautiful marble look. Is it advisable to use them as kitchen counter tops? Since they come in 4x2 ft size, the number of joints will be less. Will they be chemically safe around food? Thanks in advance

Creative Creaturz, 1- There is no such thing as a floor tiles trend that some one starts and everyone copies. Often designers choose their own pick based on design in mind and often the taste of the clients. If you can afford go with a professional for selection. Wholesellers don't have a lot of display and time you may want to go to other brand stores/galleries for varieties. Yes , you are right builder/contractors often choose uni colored tiles for convenience, lesser costs, standardised look and larger floor feel. Multi colored tiles look better in bigger areas unless your style is eclectic. Neutrals are always better to change themes. Gels with multiple designs. Bigger Tiles Merits, Looks cleaner and stylish, lesser grouts, much easier to clean. Demerits: Needs expert installation, costlier. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.
