The Versatile Use of Marble in Home Design

Marble is simply beautiful! I envy beautiful & classic polished marble in different designs and shapes. Marble is one of the oldest and most widely used materials in construction. On a somewhat larger and more historic scale, marble was used to create such magnificent structures as the Taj Mahal. Marble is a fan favorite for home design because it is such a versatile stone. From kitchens to basements, marble can be used in literally every room of the house. You can choose to get a “Wow” moment from your marble by making statement uses of the stone. Or, you can keep your marble feeling fresh and current by using it in small doses. Accent marble can make an even bigger statement than a whole wall of the stone.

Marbles are timeless and trendy and it lends a very meticulous and royal look to a home. So let’s begin with how and where marble can be used to enhance the appeal of a home.

Marble Walls

Marble walls are stunning version of beauty in my eyes, whether you’re using this natural stone as an accent wall or a backsplash, a marble wall is a beautiful statement piece to any home. Marble walls give a fresh feeling to your space that reads cleanly. Marble walls can read warm or cool depending on what slab you choose. Something like our Statuario marble is perfect for a chic and cool palette where our Bamboo gray polished marble is perfect for warm and comforting spaces.

Create a soft, inviting area with a delicate marble tile. Or go bold, go magnetic; with a jaw-dropping floor to ceiling marble slab. Just let your imagination come to life.

Pillars

Marble has been used in design for thousands of years and was a favorite of Mesopotamian cultures. One of the favored uses of marble that is still being used today is building columns. Columns can be used for load bearing purposes, but are mostly built for decoration. Give your hope a European ambiance with beautiful marble pillars. In royal homes or big mansions mostly I have seen white marble collars across the corridors that looks like a labyrinth of a majestic web, but it’s pretty much possible only in big homes.

Counterparts

Marble countertops are a popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Grey tones marble is a great choice for marble countertops as they are an affordable stone that brings a bright elegance to your space. Be sure to clean and seal your countertops to protect them from stains and keep them in tip top shape.

Marble Fireplace

Do you want to transform your living room into something sensational? Then built a custom design marble fire place. It will be quite a visual feast and if you select earthly tones of marble for a fire place you would be able to make your room increase its appeal by a thousand fold. A warm inviting feels will start to come.

Marble Flooring

Marble flooring gives off a grand appearance that will take your breath away. Be sure all of your marble comes from the same batch when installing it for your flooring. This will ensure all of your pieces match and flow seamlessly.

Marble Furniture

Now that’s something new and unique, and trust me by placing stylish marble furniture and artworks it looks like your home is rich with ostentatious aura. Consider such items as a marble coffee table, marble cutting boards, marble bedside lamps, and marble coasters to bring just a splash of visual interest into your room.

You will never regret using your marble in home design.
