A bar counter made from Onyx marble with backlighting creates a stunning and luxurious focal point in any space. Onyx is a rare and exotic natural stone, prized for its translucent properties, vibrant colors, and unique veining. When paired with backlighting, it takes on an ethereal, glowing effect that adds a high-end, dramatic ambiance to bars, lounges, and modern kitchens.
Onyx is known for its striking patterns and layers of color, ranging from creamy whites and soft yellows to vibrant greens, oranges, reds, and even blues. The stone is formed from the deposit of calcite in water, giving it its translucent and banded appearance.
What makes Onyx so unique is its ability to transmit light due to its semi-translucent structure. This feature makes it ideal for backlighting, as the light can pass through the stone, highlighting its natural beauty and intricate patterns.
Onyx often exhibits dramatic veining that varies in intensity and color. These veins, combined with the backlighting, create dynamic visual effects, making the stone appear to glow from within.
LED panels are typically used for backlighting Onyx because they are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and provide consistent lighting. LEDs can also be adjusted to change color, intensity, or even create dynamic lighting effects, depending on the desired mood.
When lit from behind, the natural beauty of the Onyx stone is amplified. The light enhances the stone’s veining and color variations, making the bar counter look like a glowing art piece. You can opt for warm or cool lighting to match the ambiance of the space.
LEDs offer customizable colors—ranging from soft amber or warm white to cooler blues or purples—allowing you to change the mood of the space at will.
To achieve an even glow across the entire surface, it’s essential to use a light diffuser or frosted panels that distribute the light uniformly, preventing hot spots and shadows from forming behind the stone.
A classic, clean-lined rectangular design is most common for bar counters. The straight edges allow for seamless installation of the backlighting panels beneath the stone.
Curved or L-shaped counters offer a more dynamic and contemporary look, though backlighting these shapes requires careful planning to ensure even light distribution across the curves.
The lighting system is typically hidden within the support framework to ensure that only the Onyx surface is illuminated. This sleek, integrated design ensures that the light source doesn’t distract from the stone’s beauty.
Since Onyx is softer and more delicate than other stones like granite or quartz, the bar counter requires strong support to prevent cracking or breaking under pressure.
A polished Onyx surface is smooth and reflective, adding to the luxurious and glossy appearance of the bar counter. The high-gloss finish also enhances the effect of the backlighting.
You can choose from a variety of edge styles such as straight, beveled, bullnose, or custom sculpted to enhance the stone’s natural beauty.
The rich, golden tones of honey Onyx create a warm and luxurious feel, especially when paired with warmer backlighting. This color is popular in high-end hotels and restaurants.
Onyx, with its natural glow and high-end appearance, is often used in luxury residential spaces, high-end restaurants, bars, and hotels.
You can work with stone suppliers and designers to create a custom Onyx bar counter that fits your exact specifications. From choosing the stone color and pattern to integrating the lighting, every element can be tailored to your taste.
A backlit Onyx marble bar counter offers a blend of art and function, turning an ordinary space into a luxurious and visually captivating environment.
