Marble… A timeless choice that suits every era, style and setting, retaining its popularity through its durable and precious character.
Marble’s elegant lines, durability, ease of shaping and impressive presence have made it popular in decoration and architecture not only today, but across civilisations for centuries. This is why it is chosen for modern and classic homes alike, in bathrooms and kitchens, indoors and out, and throughout every corner of our living spaces.
Marble’s elegant, stylish and timeless character makes it a sought-after material in bathroom design. Used in continuous slabs in a shower, arranged in different formats on walls, or applied to floors and worktops, it offers designers endless possibilities.
Its water-resistant nature broadens marble’s range of uses. It is therefore used not only on surfaces but also in sanitaryware design. For those who favour a hammam-style bathroom, it is the definitive choice.White, grey and beige are particularly recommended tones for bathrooms. Combined with natural wood, which softens marble’s cool appearance, they create a warm and welcoming bathroom design.
Another reason for choosing marble is its veining, which resembles a painting. Formed naturally as the stone develops underground, these veins surround a room like an abstract artwork. When choosing marble, it is therefore worth paying attention to the shape of the veins and ensuring that their joins do not create a jarring effect.
Many people prefer marble-effect ceramic tiles because marble is less widely available than ceramic, more difficult to install as a surface covering, heavier and consequently more expensive. This makes it possible to combine the elegance of marble’s appearance with the ease of working with ceramic. With designs whose appearance is indistinguishable from the original, marble-look surfaces become much easier to achieve.
