Any you would suggest? Looking for 6x24 or 12x24 matte marble look for the surround of a walk in shower. The vanity is a medium tone brown with lagoon. Flooring is a concrete look porcelain. It’s been a bit difficult matching with most showrooms closed.
Thanks so much for any suggestions!

Hey 2LittleFishies, I too love marble, but don't much mind the wear patterns it develops. I've been in houses with 60 year old soap stone and find it quite charming. Heck, I've been in houses with 200 year old marble counters - and still find the wear quite charming. My own Victorian has soapstone around the heat registers. They're a little dinged up but quite beautiful in my opinion. I have a large, cutting board, bit of carrara marble that I use to roll out dough - maybe start with that and see where it takes you. Don't know how old your house is but one of the good things about an older home is that nothing is really perfect and if it is perfect it looks rather out of place. So...things look fine when they are a little worn. I remember going to England and staying in a house that was built in the 1400s - wear just means people have come before you and will come after you, it is a good reminder. So get what you like and what you want. If wear patterns and noticeable age on your counters isn't what you want get something else. Remember, even durable things break, pit and fall apart.

We're doing a remodel, so I'm first choosing the floor, and then can match the grey island to it. I haven't chosen the bathroom or laundry room floor yet, but there's a mosaic tile that I might use which has white, medium and dark grey, and a lightish navy blue. Here is another picture with all the samples plus our favorite from Coretec. Carpet below will all be removed! Top: Aspen Alpine Middle left: Sandbar Middle right: Harbor Bottom: Sherwood Pine Bottom Tile: possible bathroom/laundry room tile (the rooms connect). Would likely use something else on the other bathrooms (can choose to match rest of the house floors). I'm probably jumping on the white/grey bandwagon too late, but I'm sick of my beige house now!

hello Jillianfl. Top photo is the one I used to remodle my last bathroom. I loved it and got lots of compliments on it. I'm now renovating a new home, and I have the same concerns about the shower flooring. Did you end up getting some advice? What did you end up going with? Thanks in advance!

countertop color to hide dust...-white or marble looking quartz
Q

We have Corian ... it's around forty years old and looks pretty much the same as ever. It's not plasticky, but it certainly doesn't feel like the granite on our island either. It's a nice, smooth, non-porous surface and super easy to clean. We even had accidental sharpie bleed through, and it came off with SoftScrub; you'd never know it ever happened. There might be a few marks where the point of a knife hit, but I couldn't tell you were those are. You shouldn't cut on your countertop, anyways; it's terrible for your knives, but yes, there's always a chance the knife runs off the edge of the cutting board or something, so it is something to consider. Corian can be sanded or micro sanded to remove cut marks if they're not too deep; we've never had to. Our Corian is white with cream marbling (no names back then ... you just picked white, cream, or white/cream marbled), and it doesn't show dust; it will show crumbs and such. The polished black granite island shows everything, especially fingerprints. I don't mind seeing dust and crumbs, since we'd rather know they're there to be cleaned up, but the fingerprints are annoying. We have the same Corian in one bathroom (counter and sink) that looks great and cleans great there, too. The other bathroom has white Corian, it has a dent from where something fell, but other than that no issues with it either. I'd get Corian again. My sister's granite counters are classic cream and brown speckle, and they always look great despite toddlers and cats and whatever they knock over. They have to be cleaned constantly (toddlers, cats ...), but a quick wipedown is all it takes. If you get on just the right angle you might find some toddler prints, but the pattern seems to hide them.

This is the general look (not my bathroom). While the tile would not be next to the counter it is close such that I would like it to work together. I like quartz lagoon as it is fairly simple. Would like to find a porcelain tile for the shower that looks the same (similar color tone and veining).

Thanks for any recommendations!

Where are you located? Here in CA tile showrooms are not completely closed. They will make a one-on-one appointment and let you in to look and get some samples, with everyone wearing masks. Many companies are also good about mailing samples. I requested a sample from Porcelanosa last week and they mailed it immediately and I got it 3 days later.

The problem with the marble look tile samples is that they are cut from the larger tiles and the colors you see in your sample could be the main color in the tile or a very very tiny part of the whole color scheme. You can also look for online photos of the samples you get, to see the actual patterns when installed in a whole room. There is a wide variety in the overall look of marble-look tiles, ranging from very grey/blue to very beige, so I would not want to commit to something from a tiny sample. Can you wait to finish the project?

Yes, all true! I have looked online and there is a very wide range! I have also ordered some samples, but as you say they are small and don't always give you a good feel for the total look.

I was just curious if anyone has used both surfaces (quartz lagoon with a porcelain tile) either in a kitchen or bathroom. That may point me in the right direction:)

I have looked at a tile called Crystal White Matte Modern online. It looks kind of like the quartz lagoon...

The rest of YOUR bathroom helps dictate the tile not just the counter top.
