Marble surfaces are in great demand by homeowners these days. However, not many of them know how to keep the marble surface clean and attractive for longer. Taking care of a marble surface entails proper selection of accessories used for decoration and cleaning. Of course, if you don't mind the expense, you can use real marble in your design scheme. It's cost efficient to buy large slabs and have them cut into smaller pieces (such as benches, shelves, tabletop) by a professional. The more luxurious approach is to buy marble tile and design an accent tile back-splash that covers a portion of your kitchen wall. A mixture of both real stone tiles and a marble vinyl floor (bought in large sheets) is also a potent combination.
Choose colors and patterns that blend seamlessly with your tablecloths and dinnerware, especially if you're aiming for an upscale look. Clearly, no marble element by itself will create the effect of a real marble table—but if you use related colors in coordinating patterns, it isn't hard to re-create the look with less expensive materials.
