Four Ways Sahara Noir Brings Design Drama to Living Spaces

Introducing Sahara Noir

This dramatic design features clean strokes of terracotta and warm, gray-white veining that create a highly graphic and artistic look. The result is a painterly quality with colors that feel both modern and timeless – ideal for homeowners in search of something unique. Read on to discover four interesting ways to feature this bold look in your home.

1. A Dramatic Kitchen Island

These days, many homeowners don’t want or need a formal dining room, so kitchens have become the focal point for meals and entertaining. According to many designers, having a large, dramatic island is a popular request. It’s a great centerpiece for this important communal space. Additionally, islands can house functional appliances like warming drawers or microwaves, or they can be extended to include tables or banquettes.

2. Full-Height Backsplashes in Kitchens and Bathrooms

Homeowners seeking impactful design in their kitchens and bathrooms should look no further! The architectural elegance of Sahara Noir makes a definitive statement when used as a full-height backsplash.

3. A Complement to Warm Metal Fixtures

Many colors are warming up across the board! Sahara Noir’s inviting gray and terracotta tones help ease the starkness of the white and gray kitchens that have been prevalent in recent years. This pattern ties nicely with the prediction for warm metal faucets, drawer pulls and chandeliers. Likewise, the mixed-metal trend means the cool hues of stainless-steel appliances still blend nicely with the warm veining of Sahara Noir.

4. A Complement to Wood Looks and Natural Colors

With its warm, earthy veining, Sahara Noir is a perfect accompaniment to a variety of woodgrain laminate looks as well as natural woods. It pairs especially well with light, Scandinavian tones such as Formica® laminate in Planked Urban Oak, Pecan Woodline and Cherry Walnut. Sahara Noir also works beautifully with Formica® laminate in rich terracotta shades such as Earthenware and Earthenware Brushstroke, as well as the dappled coloration of Patine Bronze.
