Beyond the Kitchen: Creative Uses for Granite, Quartz, and Quartzite in Your Home

At Continental Granite & Marble, we believe stone surfaces can elevate any room in your home, not just the kitchen. Granite, quartz, and quartzite are not only durable but versatile, with applications ranging from luxurious fireplace surrounds to stunning bathtub accent walls. Here are a few ways you can use these materials to add elegance to unexpected spaces.

Fireplace Surrounds

Transform your living area with a stone fireplace surround that brings natural beauty and warmth to your home. Whether you prefer the classic look of granite or the sleek style of quartz, stone fireplaces add sophistication and can become the room’s focal point. Plus, they’re incredibly durable and heat-resistant, making them a practical yet stylish choice.

Bathtub Accent Walls

For a spa-like feel in your bathroom, consider using stone for an accent wall around your bathtub. Quartzite and quartz are perfect for this application, offering an easy-to-clean, moisture-resistant surface that withstands humidity. The natural veins and colors in these stones add a touch of elegance, making your bathroom a retreat.

Laundry Rooms and Mudrooms

Granite and quartz countertops can be just as functional in a laundry room or mudroom. These durable surfaces are resistant to scratches and stains, making them ideal for spaces with high activity. Incorporating stone countertops here adds a refined look and provides a resilient workspace.

Wet Bars and Outdoor Bars

Elevate your entertainment spaces with a custom stone countertop for your indoor wet bar or outdoor bar area. Granite and quartzite, known for their strength and resistance to weathering, make excellent choices for outdoor applications, creating a stylish yet robust surface for drinks and gatherings.
