Onyx, featuring exquisite patterns and colors, is a unique marble that has been mined from limestone caves made by the flow of warm springs over many thousands of years. When used in interior decoration, onyx creates a unique, luxurious look.
Fine-grained onyx marble stone comes in many colors such as yellow, brown, black, green, white, and pink. This versatile material also complements many different themes and decors, making it a popular choice among homeowners and interior designers. A crystalline stone, onyx is often translucent, which allows for plenty of light filtration.
How much translucency you get will depend on the particular onyx slab you choose, as well as the color, surface finish, and thickness. You often see it in yellow hues (thanks to the iron deposits contained within) but other popular colors include green, white, pink, orange, gold, and brown.
Here are some different ways you can incorporate onyx into your home décor. Work with your Concord onyx fabricator for even more ideas.
Flooring
It can be expensive to use onyx for your flooring due to the sheer expanse that is required, but there’s no better way to create a luxurious look to your home. It’s also used in high-end hotels and offices to add sophistication to an already minimalistic theme.
Accent Wall
If you have an accent wall in your dining or living room, consider covering it all or in part with onyx marble tiles. This makes for a truly grand backdrop, whether you go with a warm tone such as honey-yellow, or bold hue such as a deep red onyx. Offset the beauty of your new wall with strategic accent and mood lighting to highlight its features.
Kitchen Backsplash
Spruce up the look and ambience of your kitchen with a slab of colorful onyx marble to complement or contrast with your overall kitchen theme. Use it behind one portion of your counters or along the whole wall. For example, if you have a clean white-themed décor, go with a green onyx for a warm glow. If you have a wet bar in your home, you can use onyx for a dramatic backsplash that will wow your guests.
Bathroom Features
Onyx, a richly-patterned translucent stone, is perfect as the foundation for your sink or bathroom counter. You can even use it to elegantly frame your bathroom mirror. Use onyx in small doses in bathrooms so as not to over-power the space.
Staircase
A backlit onyx offers an incredible look for your staircase, giving it an unparalleled artistic expression. The richly veined features of the onyx on the steps add beauty and luxury without cluttering things up.
