Thousands of people are living on a tight budget these days and when it comes to remodeling their home, they need to save every penny they can and wherever they can. Many homeowners, contractors, remodelers, builders and designers recommend, and visit, Tampa granite for the best selection and the best prices for granite and marble anywhere in the country.

Tampa granite showcases over 1,000 granite slabs that will be cut down to fit your project, big or small and then polished to a fine finish and double checked before leaving the warehouse to make sure your order is in excellent condition.

Furthermore, with Clearwater granite – a subsidiary of Tampa granite – knows exactly where the granite and marble comes from because they own the quarry. The family-owned quarry in Brazil is where all the granite comes from so everyone knows they are getting the best possible granite available.

There are many new trends in the colors and textures people are using when remodeling their homes.  Blue is one of the season’s new major color tones in hues that range from almost purple – violet and dark grayish blue to a deep blue or royal blue.  In many cases colors are combined in ways that they blend into themselves rather than competing for attention.

In neutral colors, gray is becoming the new brown, with colorways ranging from platinum to granite.  Creams, beiges and caramels are also very important this year.  Yellows are moving from mustard hues to a softer look and hot reds include tomato and wine colors such as Cabernet and Merlot.

Both in the kitchen and the bathroom, shiny finishes are giving way to matte finishes such as honed granite that will hide fingerprints and dirt easier than a shiny finish.

Homeowners and commercial building users are also using a lot of marble for their countertops, in their kitchens and in their bathrooms.  Designers are saying don’t be afraid to mix and match granite and marble in the same room to acquire a unique effect, just as you might mix colors, mixing textures and different mediums are a great way to add zing to any room.
