Tuscan Style Granite

Tuscan style is centered on natural materials, originally those that were found in the beautiful hills of central Italy. These included many natural stone materials, like marble, limestone and granite as well as red and orange clays. The orange colors and natural materials of Tuscan design have since spread to many other parts of the world and been adapted to locally available materials. The granite below, in orange tones and varied grain, is a perfect complement to any Tuscan design. The natural grain patterns of the granite will add a touch of nature to your interior and give it a time loved look.

TUSCAN STYLE

Tuscan style emphasizes living life well in a home that has been well loved and cared for by several generations. Tuscan room invites to enjoy the company of family and good old friends, fine homemade food and wine, the timeless beauty of natural materials, warm and cozy colors, splashes of afternoon sun on the terra-cotta tile floors, and candlelit dinners. This is the most romantic out of all interior decorating styles and is hard not to fall in love with.

To bring the romance and beauty of Tuscany to your room use warm and cozy colors: earth, deep gold, sunny yellow, warm terra cotta, olive green and rusty red. Faux finish on the walls will create the desired timeworn look. Choose granite, marble, or other natural stone for the countertop, terra-cotta ceramic tiles for the floor, sturdy furniture, rustic hardware.

Other possibilities include Rosa Beta (Italy), Giallo Veneciano (Brazil), Madarai Gold, Lady Dream (India).
