What color is the floor tile

11 years ago

We will have marble carrerra white counter top, flat white cabinets and need advise in floor tile color. Our thoughts were light grey which is hard to find or carrerra white with grey veins. do you have any pictures which we can see both options?

Hi Bibi, the marble in the photo is not Carrara. It is called Statuary and has blue/grey veins in a pure white background. Carrara has been mined in Italy for over 1000 years and sadly most of what is available these days bears little relation to the classic. It is generally quite grey rather than white and has a bluish cast to it. If you don't want to try to match the counter top stone in tile, (many stone yards have matching tile to their slabs), porcelain tile replicas are readily available from companies like Marvel or even American Olean! Just do a search on Houzz for Premium Italian Marble Look Porcelain Tiles. Took me about 10 seconds to find them. Good luck.
