Caesarstone Calacatta Nuvo – New Color

/in , , /by

Caesarstone formally introduces a new color, Calacatta Nuvo. It’s a beautiful, natural looking marble and the wide, grey veins on the white opaque base add the perfect amount of organic combined with the refreshing white palette. It’s based on the natural Calacatta marble but this has all the ease and maintenance of Caesarstone. With the beauty and function, it’s a win-win for everyone!

Caesarstone Calacatta Nuvo can be used in a variety of interior styles, from traditional to modern. My favorite approach is how it’s seen here in a modern, clean environment. Paired with grays and whites it feels antique yet new.

That said, the marble would fit into almost any other setting because of its ability to complement most color palettes with its white tones.

Caesarstone Calacatta Nuvo would also be a great choice when designing a bathroom. Once again, it feels and looks old in all the best of ways and adds a lovely patina to a new space.

The best kitchen countertop can be replacing when scratched, scorched, stained, or just plain unattractive. New kitchen countertops can transform any kitchen.

Or you could easily spend 10 times that on quartz, granite, or recycled glass. Consumer Reports tested more than a dozen popular types of countertops to see how well they resisted stains, heat damage, cuts, abrasion, and impact, and found seven that passed muster. Here are the details.
