Extend your countertop material up the wall for a seamless, high-end look.

### **3. Shower Walls & Surrounds**

Large-format stone slabs reduce grout lines and create a spa-like experience.

Use marble or quartzite for:

### **Keep It Cohesive**

Stick to a consistent color palette across stone, cabinetry, and fixtures.

### **Mix Textures (Not Materials)**

Pair polished stone with matte cabinetry or brushed metal finishes for contrast.

Larger stone pieces = fewer seams = more luxury.
