How to Style Marble in Minimalist Homes

Are you a lover of all things marble? Do you adore minimalist interior design?

Minimalism is not just a design trend. For many, it is a lifestyle that focuses on calmness, order and balance in the home and in oneself. 

Marble is not just any ordinary natural stone. It represents the epitome of luxury design, and reflects centuries of human devotion to art, beauty and sophistication.

In this blog, we’ll help you discover how to achieve a minimalist marble decor and incorporate modern stone design in your home.

Understanding Minimalism

At the core of minimalism is an emphasis on clean lines, open spaces and a restrained colour palette. Minimalism is focused on ensuring each conscious element of a room shines on its own, and gives everything – and everyone – the space needed to achieve the calmness and tranquility the design style represents.

Some key characteristics of minimalist home design include open floor plans, limited furniture, a minimal number of decorative items or accents, and natural light. While many materials can and are used to help achieve an effective minimalist design, few construction materials look as amazing or work as well as marble.

Why Marble is Perfect for Minimalist Design

Marble stone is renowned for its timeless aesthetic and captivating beauty. Classic marble, such as Italian marble, comes in iconic whites, off-whites and greys with equally recognisable patterns and veining. 

When it comes to minimalist design, this works perfectly. Marble’s rich but soft colour scheme and subtle but complex patterns allow it to naturally fit amongst an interior design that favours minimalism whilst looking anything but bland.

Additionally, and this is a reason why marble for small spaces is an excellent choice as well, the reflective quality of the stone allows light to bounce around the room and make the space feel larger.

However, it’s not all fashion. Marble is functional too, and is a durable, long-lasting and easy to maintain stone for use in many applications in and around the home.

The Best Marble for Modern Stone Design

Here at Euro Marble, our showroom showcases the most beautiful marble sourced from quarries around the world. If you’re looking for the right marble to complement your minimalist aesthetic, consider the following recommended types of marble:

1. Carrara Marble

Carrara Marble is famous for its soft white colour and delicate darker veining. Thanks to its inherent airy and simple feel, it is the perfect luxurious addition to a kitchen, bathroom, hallway or even fireplace.

2. Statuario Marble

Statuario Marble is another instantly recognisable type of stone. However, the bolder and more striking veining against the bright base of this type of marble offers an additional dimension of drama compared to Carrara. Nevertheless, this work of art makes for a fantastic accent wall or kitchen island benchtop to anchor your minimalist design. 

3. Calacatta Marble

Calacatta Marble offers a unique balance of dramatic boldness with warm, delicate undertones. The deceptively intricate veining and cloudy patterns provide a level of detail that will simultaneously match your minimalist decor without overpowering the space or make the room feel cluttered.

4. Nero Marquina Marble

Nero Marquina Marble proves that you don’t have to go right to white with your minimalist marble decor. Tastefully applied, this darker toned stone offers a sleek black background brought to life by its white veining. Bold, moody and yet completely complementary of an overall minimalist aesthetic, Nero Marquina will look even more of a treat in and amongst a simple interior design.

Tips for Using Marble in Minimalist Homes

To ensure your marble best elevates your overall home aesthetic, make sure you stick by the following design advice:

  1. Neutral Palette – It is best to stick to white, grey or black marble to ensure a calm, cohesive and balanced aesthetic. 
  2. Straight Lines – While marble stone can be cut into various tile shapes, opt for clean, simple lines with minimal levels of business
  3. Minimal Accessories – The best way to allow marble stone to shine is to keep it clear of clutter, even decorative accessories.
  4. Natural Textures – Marble, in a modern, minimalist setting, looks and feels best beside natural textures such as wood or linen which helps add warmth to the coolness of the stone.

Using Marble for Flooring

Your floors offer a great canvas for modern stone design. Polished marble floors feel open, luxurious and beautiful. 

When applying marble to a floor, opt for larger tiles to minimise grout lines and achieve a near-seamless appearance.

Using Marble for Benchtops

Marble benchtops can function as a stunning and artistic focal point in a modern kitchen or bathroom. We recommend lighter shades of marble to prevent the space feeling crowded, paired with handleless cabinets to maintain the sleek look.

Using Marble for Splashbacks

Your kitchen splashback is the perfect opportunity to incorporate marble in a small space. Consider a strong and bold type of marble to bring the space to life and offer an eye-catching addition to your minimalist room.

Using Marble for Walls

For expansive walls, such as entryways and hallways, opt for lighter coloured marble to ensure that space feels… spacious. If you’re thinking of incorporating an accent wall, it can be very effective to opt for a marble stone of a darker shade or featuring more dramatic veining.

Using Marble for Basins and Vanities

Your bathroom basin or vanity top offers an opportunity to utilise bold marble in a confined space without cluttering the room. Alternatively, consider lighter marble if you’re after that lighter spa-like ambiance.

Exploring the Beauty of Pink Marble

Have you heard about pink marble?

Or more importantly, have you seen pink marble?

This captivating natural stone is becoming more and more popular among homeowners and interior designers. Thanks to its delicate hues, beautiful patterns and elegant veining, pink marble stands out from the classic white or grey varieties with enough colour to wow, but not too much boldness that overwhelms.

In this blog, we’ll introduce you to this fantastic type of marble and inspire you to make the most of it in your home.

What Is Pink Marble?

Pink marble, like all marble, is a type of metamorphic rock.

It forms naturally in the ground when limestone is subjected to intense heat and pressure. This process, referred to as metamorphism, forces the calcite inherent in the limestone to recrystallize and thus producing the intricate and stunning structure iconic to marble stone.

It is no coincidence that the iconic type of marble is white or gray, as they are the most common types of marble stone found in the world. However, some repositories of marble in the world feature a specific mix or mineral impurities. Sometimes this can be iron-bearing minerals like hematite, feldspar, serpentine or even rhodochrosite. The impurities change the colour of the stone and produce distinctive shades, such as pink.

The intensity of the pink colouring will depend on the differing concentrations and distributions of these mineral impurities throughout the stone.

Where does Pink Marble come from?

1. USA

The iconic quarry in East Tennessee, USA, is known for its pinkish marble due to the local elevated hematite and rhodochrosite content.

2. Norway

In Norway, the Norwegian Rose (also known as Fauske marble) is a famous warm pink coloured marble that offers unique patterns and styles.

3. India

Indian pink marble comes in a wide range of shades, from pale to deep pink, and is well regarded for its fine-grain texture and variety of patterns.

4. Europe

Several Mediterranean and European countries – including Italy, Turkey, Greece and Portugal – all produce distinct pink marble used all around the world for beautiful interior design and construction.

Using This Bold Interior Stone in Your Home

Wondering how to incorporate pink marble in your home? There are many different options depending on your preference and interior design style.

Kitchen Benchtop – The countertop of your kitchen offers a central point to add a luxurious coloured marble and can be paired perfectly with modern or traditional styled cabinetry.

Walls – Pink marble wall cladding, especially in spaces like the bathroom, offer understated sophistication and subtle brightness without overpowering the space.

Flooring – Pink marble flooring is a stylistic way of bringing a sense of grandeur to your living room, entryway or hallway.

Staircases Staircases are primarily functional structures in a home but with bold interior stone like pink marble they can be utilised into so much more: a real work of art.

Fireplaces – Marble around a fireplace looks and works a treat, and the subtle yet striking aesthetic of pink marble perfectly complements the warm fire beneath.

Choosing the Right Pink Marble

Even within the category of pink marble, there is certainly plenty of variety to choose from. To help you match the right marble type to your interior design theme, here is a handy guide.

Modern Minimalism

If you’re after that sleek, minimalist and modern look, consider a neutral pink marble palette with clean and bold veining. Matched with metallic accents it will complement a contemporary look and feel.

Classic Elegance

We recommend a rich pink marble stone for the classic, elegant aesthetic. Matched with gold or brass fixtures, or even rich wood finishes and plush textiles, your pink marble will look fabulous and timeless.

Scandinavian Style

Lighter and brighter pink marble will effortlessly blend into your Scandinavian style home. Subtle shades of pink are excellent for enhancing the surrounding light woods, white walls and simple furnishings.

Boho Chic

Alternatively, you can layer in a warmer tone by opting for a darker, or richer, pink marble. Combined with natural textures and eclectic stylistic choices elsewhere in the room, the bolder pink colouring will help create an inviting, cozy atmosphere.

Tips for Incorporating Pink Marble

Whichever interior design style you are working towards and which form of pink marble you’re after, consider the following best practice tips.

1. Balance pink marble with neutral tones

Pink marble is stunning but as with all coloured marble trends try pairing the boldness with soft neutral tones, such as white or cream, to ensure elegance and an understated aesthetic.

2. Be deliberate in adding contrast

Infusing a bit of dark wood, black metal or navy blue elements can create a striking and effective contrast with the pink marble, but be deliberate and intentional in where you add it so that it does not overwhelm the space.

3. Mix and match textures

Infusing a bit of dark wood, black metal or navy blue elements can create a striking and effective contrast with the pink marble, but be deliberate and intentional in where you add it so that it does not overwhelm the space.

4. Make the most of the pink marble

Pink marble is a bold interior stone, so let it shine in its application but turning your use of the marble – whether is a countertop or feature wall – into a statement piece in and of itself.

Marble Dining Tables: The Epitome of Luxury

What brings into your home the epitome of luxury more than a marble dining table?

For centuries, marble has been a revered material for constructive and decorative purposes thanks to its natural beauty and timeless appeal. When it comes to luxury dining furniture, it is no wonder why marble has always reigned supreme.

In fact, the dining room in particular offers a unique opportunity to incorporate this sophisticated natural stone. The dining table is a central gathering point in the home. It is where family, friends, guests and loved ones all gather round to share in quality time. 

Which is exactly why the dining room table offers the perfect opportunity to incorporate the luxury that is marble.

In this blog, we’ll explore how and why marble offers a fantastic choice of material dining tables and help you understand how to select the right marble for your design style.

Why Marble is the Ideal for Designer Tables

Marble stone is formed beneath the Earth’s surface from limestone that has been exposed to intense heat and pressure. This process results in a crystalline stone structure that is visually arresting and intricate, as well as a material that is structurally sturdy and durable.

Timeless elegance for lifelong memory making

Marble has been synonymous with luxury since ancient times. The beautiful veining patterns iconic to marble stone, along with its smooth, sleek surface, makes for a timeless elegance that won’t look outdated – perfect for a dining room table around which lifelong memories are made.

Functional as well as fashionable

Onyx in interior design looks amazing thanks to its natural, complex patterns. Every slab is a unique tapestry of banding, veining and marbled contrasts. However, it is the combination of the pattern and polished finish of onyx that really brings this semi-translucent stone to life.

A natural stone as unique as you are

Marble dining tables are made from stone slabs quarried directly from the ground. This means that not only can you choose from a wide variety of colours and patterns, but each and every marble table is unique and unlike any other.

Creating Luxury Dining Furniture

The art of crafting a marble dining table is both a meticulous and artistic process.

Here at Euro Marble, we source the finest slabs of marble stone from around the world. Once our customer has chosen the colour, shade, style and pattern that perfectly suits their dining room, we ensure the slab is measured and cut to size. In addition to size, however, the shape of the marble dining room table is critical as it needs to perfectly fit the intended table base.

The base itself, often made from plywood or a similar material, is attached to the underside of the cut marble slab with strong construction adhesives. Carried out professionally, the base provides the stability required to the marble slab above to ensure it does not crack.

Last but not least are the finishing touches. The edges of your marble dining table are sanded smooth and the surface is either polished or honed – depending on your preference. If you’re opting for a classic look, we recommend a glossy finish. For a more contemporary feel, we recommend a matte finish.

Most marble dining tables are professionally sealed to further protect it from stains, moisture, scratches and damage so you can enjoy this luxury designer table for many years to come.

Choosing the Right Marble for Your Interior Design Style

There are a lot of different considerations when evaluating the different types of marble stone for your dining table. To help guide you, here is a breakdown of the most popular interior design styles and recommended complementary marble stone varieties.

1. Classic and Timeless

If you’re looking to maintain a traditional interior design style or want to make the most of a minimalist aesthetic, we recommend Carrara Marble. The soft grey veining brought to life against a white or off-white base is ideal for infusing subtle sophistication that will make a lasting statement.

2. Striking Luxury

If you want your marble dining table to be striking in its opulent glory, consider Calacatta Marble or Calacatta Viola. The bold veining contrasted by the warm white background is visually arresting and makes the absolute most of your chosen luxury material.

3. Big and Bold

If the classic shade of white marble is not big enough or bold enough for your preference, perhaps the Nero Marquina Marble with its deep black colour scheme and sharp white veining patterns offers the dramatic touch you need in your dining room.

4. Warm and Inviting

When we say that there is a wide range of different marble shades and colours available, we mean it. If you want some homely, earthy toned marble, consider Brown Marble. It offers a perfect blend of coziness without sacrificing the rich and subtle aesthetic marble is beloved for.

5. Unique and Wonderful

If you’re looking for a type of marble that is truly unique and one-of-a-kind aesthetically, consider Blue Marble or Red Marble. Both of these striking types of stone will function as a piece of art in and of themselves and make for a fantastic topic of conversation for family, friends and guests.

How to Care for Your Marble Dining Table

Luxury dining furniture should get the VIP maintenance and care treatment. Marble especially should be properly cared for to ensure its beauty and longevity are preserved as much as possible.

Here are some simple tips for caring for your marble dining table.

  1. Clean your table regularly with a soft and damp cloth. 
  2. Never use abrasive or acidic cleaners.
  3. Always prompt clean up spills (by blotting, not wiping) to avoid stains.
  4. Use coasters and trivets to prevent scratches, watermarks or heat damage.
  5. Ensure a professionally reapplied sealant every 12 months or so.

How to Use Onyx for a Dramatic Home Design

How to Use Onyx for a Dramatic Home Design

Luxury onyx stone offers a ton of potential for creating truly jaw-dropping and dramatic form designs.

Onyx, a semi-precious stone that is formed in the Earth over millennia, has become a classic choice of material for spectacular modern interiors. Onyx, known for its translucent layers, is iconic for its vivid veining pattern and gemstone-esque level of radiance. Carefully applied in select spaces of your home it can transform just about any room into a truly dramatic, high-end visual experience.

What Makes Onyx Unique?

Shade and Colour

Onyx is most widely known for the dark coloured variety. However, this beautiful stone comes in a wide spectrum of colours. From warm reds and glowing yellows to cool greens and deep blues, there is a variety of onyx to suit all preferences and interior design applications. 

Pattern and Texture

Onyx in interior design looks amazing thanks to its natural, complex patterns. Every slab is a unique tapestry of banding, veining and marbled contrasts. However, it is the combination of the pattern and polished finish of onyx that really brings this semi-translucent stone to life.

Style Versatility

Onyx allows homeowners and interior designers to indulge in just about any bold stone ideas they may have. This inherently bold yet still versatile stone can complement a minimalist and modern design style or a more rustic and even industrial elegance. 

Translucent Quality

Where onyx really shines in interior design is in its unique ability to interact with light. Onyx, thanks to its translucent quality, glows when backlit offering a truly fantastic ambiance of opulence, and making it an enduring favourite for high-end design projects.

Creating a Dramatic Home Design

A dramatic home design may not be for everyone, but for those who would like their home to make an instant and lasting impression on guests and visitors, a dramatic interior can be just the style you’re after.

There are a ton of ways in which you can bring to life a dramatic home design: Think rich colour palettes and mixed textures, paired with carefully chosen contemporary accessories and vintage art pieces.

Of course, there is a fine line between careful curation and clutter, and a need to balance the use of light and shadow, rough textures with smooth refinement. Even when it comes to those with minimalist tastes, bold colour choices and strong contrasts can help evoke a feel of sophistication and awe.

9 Ways to Use Onyx for Dramatic Interiors

So, how can you use luxury onyx to your advantage in your home design? Here are 9 ideas to help inspire and get you started.

1. Backlit Feature Walls

Our first idea may not surprise you, but using onyx panels with integrated LED backlighting to amplify its translucency is a no brainer. 

Backlit onyx feature walls can look fantastic behind a bed or bathtub, across a dining area or even in a relaxed living room.

2. Kitchen Splashback

Luxury onyx stone can bring the humble yet essential splashback in your kitchen to life. A single green, blue or black onyx paired with matte cabinetry can make a powerful aesthetic impression without being overly dominating. 

Plus, if you have a love of metallic finishes in your kitchen, onyx is even more complementary and perfect.

3. Statement Stairs

If you really want a dramatic home design, onyx incorporated into your staircase – complete with some embedded lighting – will do just that and more. On the aesthetic side, there isn’t much that can compete with the radiance of onyx veining. On the functional level, the durability of onyx stone makes it a practical and long lasting choice of material for your staircase.

4. Bathroom Sanctuary

Your bathroom should be a sanctuary of comfort and luxury. Onyx stone makes for a wonderful choice of material for shower tiles, vanity tops or even a freestanding bathtub.

Plus, the translucency of onyx means that your bathroom can be as moody and dramatic, or as bright and spacious as you want.

5. Fireplace

Using onyx stone for your fireplace cladding, especially an amber or red toned slab, will accentuate the natural warmth and coziness of a fireplace and enhance the room’s overall atmosphere.

Plus, onyx is a fantastic choice of stone for merging with different, organic textures to achieve that balance that makes the room just look and feel right.

6. Eclectic Feature Walls

Eclectic accent or feature walls allow an opportunity for incorporating a really bold and dramatic design choice for your living room or entryway.

Feature walls offer fantastic potential for mixing and matching materials so that you can really make the most of the fantastic aesthetic of onyx.

7. Onyx Furniture

There are many ways in which onyx can be incorporated successfully in home design, but that doesn’t mean you have to go big or go home.

Onyx sculptural furniture, such as a coffee table or side table, works as both functional art and also provides an anchor to hold together your entire bold visual scheme.

8. Bold Flooring

Large-format onyx tiles across a large area of flooring, such as an entry hall, can be as bold and dramatic as it gets. 

To maintain the visual balance, however, it is recommended that you pair it with neutral toned walls and ensure that there isn’t too much art and accents cluttering the same space.

9. Lighting Fixtures

Light, if you haven’t realised it by now, comes part and parcel with dramatic and effective onyx interior design. Apart from backlighting onyx itself, you can incorporate this luxurious stone into pendant lights or lampshades.

The effect created can be ethereal, enriching and utterly dramatic.

How to Create a Spa-Like Bathroom with Marble

How to Create a Spa Like Bathroom with Marble

What sounds more appealing than coming home to a luxury spa bathroom at the end of a long day? 

Fortunately, achieving a spa-like bathroom isn’t hard, especially when you use natural marble stone.

Marble has long been synonymous with luxury, and its application in opulent bathroom design is unrivalled. For centuries and centuries, this natural stone has been used to elevate ordinary spaces into serene, spa-like sanctuaries. Between marble’s timeless elegance and practical qualities, it is a fantastic choice of material for spectacular looking and endlessly functional home interiors. 

So, how can you best use marble to achieve the luxury spa bathroom you’ve always wanted?

Understanding The Allure of Marble: Beauty Meets Functionality

Marble stone has enjoyed enduring popularity thanks to its double-offering of both aesthetic grandeur and everyday utility.

Unique Elegance

Every marble slab is unique and not quite like any other. From its veining structure and colour variations, to its subtle shading and depth of texture, your marble spa bathroom will be like nothing else in the world.

Durable Surface

Marble offers excellent properties for use in a bathroom. Properly sealed and maintained its heat and moisture resistant, as well as hard-wearing ensuring cracks and wear are kept at bay.

Timeless Luxury Appeal

Marble is simply beautiful. Its versatile aesthetic nature means you can use marble in spa bathrooms of both contemporary or traditional designs, and its timeless beauty means that it won’t look dated as the interior design fashion changes in the future.

Versatility

From the range of colours and patterns, to the different types of finishes, such as polished and honed, to the application of stone tile design, there is an enormous amount of potential for customising your marble stone bathroom.

How to Create a Spa-Like Bathroom with Marble

A luxury spa bathroom offers a ton of benefits beyond just aesthetics and resale value to a home. A well designed bathroom will improve your ability to physically and mentally relax, ensuring better recovery, mental clarity and even sleep quality.

To that end, the first thing to note is that a spa bathroom needs to prioritise relaxation and rejuvenation through its intentional design.

So how can you create a luxury spa bathroom with your marble stone?

Calming Aesthetics

Opt for neutral colour palettes and soft textures, such as organic materials beside the marble tiles, to foster tranquility and ambience.

Therapeutic Features

If possible, match your design choices with functional elements such as deep soaking tubs, steam showers, and rainfall showerheads that mimic the amenities beloved of luxury spa experiences.

Ambient Lighting

Dimmable fixtures or circadian lighting systems allow you to adjust the brightness within your bathroom allowing maximum relaxation without sacrificing the functionality of the place. Ambient lighting will also more effectively bring your marble stone to life.

Smart Technology

Modern technology is taking spa bathrooms to a new level: Heated floors, touchless faucets, and programmable mood lighting only serve to enhance your comfort and improve the convenience of the space.

Wellness Focus

For those of you really wanting to enhance the spa-like quality of the bathroom, consider items such as aromatherapy diffusers and greenery. Combined with clutter-free storage your bathroom will reflect externally the mindfulness and stress relief you feel internally.

Use Marble Wisely

To harness marble’s potential in a spa-like bathroom, consider these design techniques:

1. Incorporate Statement Surfaces

Marble shower tiles are a good place to start for your spa bathroom but there are plenty of additional opportunities. Large-format marble tiles in neutral tones along your flooring and walls create seamless, reflective surfaces that mimic high-end spas.

You can also install a feature wall with bolder colouring and more dramatic veining. This visual focal point can be highly effective when placed behind a freestanding tub or vanity.

2. Think Functional Elegance

Spa bathroom’s marble needs to balance the functionality required of the space with the inherent elegance of the stone itself.  For example, with your vanities and countertops, we recommend you choose a honed marble with a soft, matte finish. This clean aesthetic matches with the minimalist aesthetic of the rest of your cabinetry and bathroom but also effectively resists water spots. 

Another example is, when designing your shower, use your marble shower tiles to create niches and recesses to add both a practical element to the space, subtle visual texture and allow for easy maintenance.

3. Embrace Textural Contrast

Textural contrast is a really effective design technique for a spa bathroom marble. 3D tiles, for example, add depth in shower areas without sacrificing the minimalist aesthetic or spa-like feel. Fluted or wave-textured marble tiles balance sleek surfaces with tactile interest.

Plus, it is an effective way to mix materials such as warm wood accents (like floating shelves) or metallic fixtures (like brass faucets) that help to soften the coolness of marble.

4. Complement the Marble with the Right Lighting

Use recessed LED strips to accentuate marble’s natural patterns and beautiful veining, enhancing its organic appeal. Where possible, try to add dimmable fixtures or smart lighting solutions. This gives you the flexibility to adjust from bright mornings where you want the light to reflect and bounce off the light and airy marble stone to soothing evening baths where you want the light to softly glow around you as a take a load off at the end of the day.

5. Spa-Worthy Features

Marble stone isn’t just a complementary material for a luxury spa bathroom, it is a great choice of stone for adding spa-worth features themselves. For example, a marble tub, freestanding or otherwise, can act as an effective centrepiece itself and, when paired with a floor mounted filler, can look like the ultimate in minimalist luxury. 

Or, consider marble shower tiles in a steam shower. The cohesive yet interesting aesthetic of marble, plus its functional moisture resistant sealing, makes it a fantastic choice of material for just such an application.

6. Add Practical Touches

To top off your luxury spa bathroom design, consider practical touches such as sealing and maintenance of your marble stone to protect it from stains, wear and tear, and from losing its shine.

Your Spa Bathroom Awaits at Euro Marble

Marble Kitchen Backsplashes: Modern Ideas

Marble Kitchen Backsplashes

A marble kitchen backsplash offers both functional, practical use and a highly effective aesthetic design statement. 

The humble backsplash – interchangeably referred to as a splashback, by some – is a unique section of the kitchen. Positioned between countertops and cabinets, it protects the walls from spills, splatters, and heat. However, beyond that practical function it provides a blank canvas on which one can add unique design styles to add visual depth to the space, character to the kitchen and an extra, complementary touch to bring the entire room together. 

Marble stone splashbacks in particular are a popular and highly effective choice of material for a kitchen backsplash. Its natural durability against heat and moisture, alongside its glorious aesthetic quality allows for the ultimate in luxury kitchen splashbacks. 

To help you best utilise this timeless and beautiful stone, let’s explore some marble decor ideas and options for your modern kitchen backsplash. 

Why Marble Works: Functional and Aesthetic Qualities

There is nothing quite like marble for making a jaw-droppingly gorgeous visual impression. Design-wise, marble’s veining and patterns—ranging from subtle wisps of cloudy greyness to bold strokes of gold—creates movement and depth, while its iconic shading just evokes feelings of opulence, transforming backsplashes into focal points. 

However, marble offers a whole lot more. Its crystalline structure provides inherent heat resistance, making it ideal for areas near stovetops and, while porous, proper sealing can effectively ensure stain resistance, balancing luxury with practicality for your marble kitchen backsplash. 

Design Possibilities For Luxury Kitchen Splashbacks

When most people think of marble, they picture the iconic off-white stone with milky shades of grey, subtle veining and the like. However, there is a wide range of colour and shading options with this versatile stone. Of course you can opt for crisp white marble with gray veining for modern minimalism, or you can choose something more dramatic and darker to contrast styles.

And it’s not just the colour and shading that offers customisability. You can choose whether large slabs for seamless elegance or layered patterns best suit your kitchen and home interior design aesthetic. Even the finish of your marble backsplash can be customised with polished marble being excellent for reflecting light and evoking feelings of openness, while honed finishes offer understated warmth.

7 Modern Marble Decor Ideas for Backsplashes

1. Slab Backsplash with Continuous Grain

A marble kitchen backsplash made of a single marble slab can create a seamless, waterfall-like effect from countertop to upper cabinetry. With no grout lines, the natural veining will be emphasised for its own beauty and offer a sleek modern look.

If you are after a minimalist modern kitchen, a monochromatic marble palette is your best option. The combination of clean lines and an uninterrupted marble slab will emphasise simplicity and spatial flow without overwhelming the space. This marble decor idea is particularly ideal for kitchens with handleless cabinets and integrated appliances.

2. Herringbone Marble Tiles

Alternatively, you can opt for a herringbone patterned marble kitchen backsplash. This classic tile format pairs well with minimalist cabinetry and metallic accents. The interlocking marble tiles adds an element of dynamic movement, whilst offering enough range to blend in with traditional patterns and/or contemporary material.

The herringbone style evokes transitional elegance as it balances a classic geometry visually with a complementary aesthetic for a range of other design choices, such as brass fixtures or matte black hardware, plus, there is always an option to enhance the modern aesthetic as well by choosing to polish or hone your marble backsplash respectively.

3. Bold Geometric Mosaics

An alternative marble decor idea for your splashback is to go even bolder with a geometric mosaic. By incorporating hexagon or chevron layouts you can effectively modernise even traditional looking kitchens. 

If you are opting for an eclectic maximalist style, bold geometric mosaics with the marble tiles of your backsplash is perfect for creating dynamism and a strong visual focal point. There is plenty of customisation opportunity with your choice of vibrant patterns, mixed textures, and layered accents. If your kitchen has open shelving, colourful ceramics, matte accessories or metallic pendant lights, a bold geometric kitchen backsplash can offer a real visual treat.

4. Mixed Material Contrast

Combining marble with metal (brass, copper) or wood-look tiles can effectively turn your kitchen splashback into a luxurious centrepiece. For example, you might want to pair white marble with a brass range hood for industrial chic and aesthetic elegance.

Pairing marble with brass, copper or even reclaimed wood balances the coolness of marble with a warmth popularly associated with industrial interior design. For kitchens with concrete countertops, steel beams or even bulb-style lighting, balanced these raw materials, exposed structural elements, and utilitarian accents with luxurious marble is a fantastic backsplash decor option.

5. Dark Drama Backsplash

Black marble is underrated for so many reasons. This dramatic choice of marble can be found with white, gold or other veining and offer a striking contrast against light cabinets, flooring or wall cladding. While it is a bold choice for modern kitchens, if you’re looking to add a flair of industrial or modern gothic styling, there is nothing better.

This moody palette makes the most of high-contrast elements and creates a striking backdrop for matte black cabinetry or stainless steel appliances. You can even wed it to gold hardware and velvet bar stools to take your kitchen to the next level.

6. Textured 3D Marble Tiles

Fluted or wave-textured marble tiles are an excellent way to infuse depth and shadow play in your marble kitchen backsplash. Particularly suited to organic modern designs, this aesthetic works incredibly well in monochromatic kitchens where you may be looking to add subtle intrigue.

To best bring the textured 3D marble tiles to life, try to balance it against other natural textures, neutral tones, and biophilic elements. Think woven rattan chairs, terracotta planters, linen textiles and even soft lighting that effectively amplifies the backsplash’s tactile depth.

7. Oversized Tile Slab

The oversized tile slab effect is a perfect luxury kitchen splashback option for the modern home. With this marble decor idea, you use large-format marble tiles to mimic a slab’s appearance and reduce the visibility of grout lines. However, it is more cost effective than full slabs.

It’s both a bold yet relatively understated way of adding minimalism and contemporary luxe to your kitchen and allows you to customise the right right finish, pattern, and colour of your marble to great effect. It particularly pairs well with quartz countertops, waterfall edges, and recessed LED lighting for a polished, high-end aesthetic. Think of a truly timeless marble kitchen centrepiece.

Travertine vs Limestone: Choosing the Best Stone

Travertine vs Limestone: Choosing the Best Stone

When it comes to choosing the best natural stone for use in your home or commercial projects, both Travertine and Limestone are great options. 

Both types of stone are sedimentary rocks with unique characteristics and are suitable for a range of applications. So, what is the difference? Which one is best for which application?

In this blog, we’ll dive into both types of stone, exploring their differences, advantages, and disadvantages, and help you decide which one is best suited for different uses.

Introduction to Travertine and Limestone

What is Limestone?

Limestone is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate, and is most commonly formed in marine environments.

Compared to Travertine, it is denser and features a more uniform appearance which makes it popular for use in high-traffic areas.

What is Travertine?

Travertine is actually a type of limestone that is formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate from mineral springs or pools of hot water. It is known for its rather porous texture, earthy tones and shading, and elegant aesthetic appearance. 

Travertine has been used in construction for many centuries and is iconic for its use in ancient Roman structures like the Colosseum.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Limestone

Advantages

  • Durability: Limestone is denser and thus more resistant to wear; this makes it ideal for high-traffic areas, compared to some other types of stone.
  • Versatility: Limestone is available in various colors and patterns, so it is easy to find the right style and look to suit your preference and needs.
  • Fire Resistance: This natural stone is highly fire resistant so it makes for a great choice when it comes to fireplaces.

Disadvantages

  • Absorbency: Limestone is more absorbent than some other types of stone making it prone to staining if not sealed properly.
  • Cost: This type of stone can be more expensive than other options though this is dependent on the quarry and quality of stone.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Travertine

Advantages

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Travertine offers a unique and elegant appearance with earthy and natural-looking tones.
  • Thermal Insulation: This natural stone has the unique ability to remain cool to the touch even under direct sunlight, which is ideal for outdoor use.
  • Affordability: Travertine is less expensive than other natural stones.
  • Hypoallergenic: It is also suitable for use indoors or for wide application, such as flooring, as it does not accumulate allergens.

Disadvantages

  • Porous: Travertine does require sealing and resealing to best protect it against stains and moisture.
  • Brittle: Travertine can be more prone to cracking and breaking, especially when subject to high traffic or a lot of activity..
  • Maintenance: This stone looks and functions best with regular cleaning and ongoing maintenance.

Choosing the Ideal Choice of Stone for the Right Applications

Natural stone, including both Travertine and Limestone, is a wonderful material for us in your home and interior design. However, which stone is preferred for which application? While there is no hard and fast rule for all contexts, here is our brief recommendation for different applications.

Kitchen Benchtops

Looking for a stone for your kitchen benchtop?

We recommend limestone due to its durability and resistance to scratches, though you may want to ensure you keep it regularly maintained and sealed to protect it from acidic substances.

Bathroom Vanity

When it comes to your bathroom vanity top, we recommend travertine.

This elegant stone offers high levels of water resistance, especially when properly sealed, and looks utterly luxurious in a bathroom.

Flooring

Stone is a wonderful choice of flooring material.

For flooring applications, limestone and travertine are both good options. Limestone should be used for high traffic areas thanks to its density and durability, whilst travertine offers more aesthetic uniqueness for low traffic areas.

Wall Cladding

If you want to add natural stone wall cladding to your home, travertine is a great option for adding a natural or rustic aesthetic, thanks to its earthy tones, whilst still looking sophisticated and visually appealing.

Staircases

Stone can make for an utterly gorgeous choice for internal staircases. We recommend limestone as its strength and resistance to wear will withstand the high traffic expected on a staircase.

Kitchen Splashbacks

Splashbacks are an easy and low-key way of infusing natural stone into a kitchen. We recommend using travertine for its elegance in aesthetic and ease of cleaning. Remember to keep it sealed and resealed as it will be exposed to a lot of moisture and stains.

Fireplaces

As mentioned above, limestone is the better choice for use in fireplaces thanks to its fire-resistant qualities and high durability.

Euro Marble - the Home of Travertine and Limestone

Ultimately, both limestone and travertine stone are excellent choices for a range of applications in and around the home. Whether or not one is right for you or your application will depend on a variety of factors, not least your own priorities and preferences.

At the end of the day, both travertine and limestone offer unique benefits. So you can consider factors like durability, aesthetic appeal, and maintenance requirements to make the best decision for your needs.

The Benefits of Marble for Luxury Staircases

The Benefits of Marble for Luxury Staircases

When it comes to designing a luxury staircase for your home, your choice of material is crucial. Whilst we may be partial to marble staircases, we believe we are so for good reason!

Marble makes for the most luxurious stairs of course, but that’s not all. Even among various natural stone options, marble stands out for its elegance, durability, and versatility. 

In this blog, we will explore what to look for in finding the right stone materials for your staircase and make the case for why marble is an excellent choice.

Marble: An Introduction

Marble is a beautiful and versatile natural stone that has been used for centuries in architecture, art, and design. 

Marble is formed from limestone or dolostone exposed to prolonged and intense heat and pressure deep within the ground. This transformation process is called metamorphism and is what produces the distinctive veining and colour patterns, ranging from the iconic pure white to vibrant and arresting hues of red, green, and gold.

Its unique appearance and recognisable aesthetic have made marble a timeless favourite in many cultures and for many applications around the world. 

Using Marble in Staircase Design

Marble is used widely in home applications, including in both traditional and modern interior design.

Classic, marble staircases often feature elements like curved steps, elaborate railings, and ornate balustrades to accentuate the regal and sophisticated aesthetic of the stone. These staircase designs are enhanced by traditional components such as columns and arches, creating a truly glorious overall appearance.

Modern, contemporary marble staircases can incorporate other popular materials like metal or glass accents, to enhance its sleek and minimalist look. This mixed design approach allows for increased personalisation and distinctive, unique designs.

Color and Pattern Variations in Marble

Marble comes in a variety of colors, including white, beige, green, and pink, and an equally wide choice of patterns such as veined, cloudiness, speckled, or solid shading. These variations can significantly influence the overall aesthetic of the staircase and allow you to find the perfect aesthetic to suit your needs and preferences..

What to Look for in Stone and Marble Staircases

There is a lot to consider when it comes to choosing a durable staircase design. Here are some of the key factors we recommend considering.

Durability

Staircases are prone to be subjected to heavy foot traffic. So your choice of material should reflect this with a high level of durability to stand up to the traffic without being prone to significant wear.

Aesthetic

Your staircase is more than just a practical consideration – it can enhance the entire home. Your choice of stone or material needs to complement the overall design of the space and look beautiful on its own merit.

Maintenance

Keeping your staircase clean shouldn’t be difficult. With the right choice of natural stone, it won’t be hard or time consuming to keep your stairs sparkling clean and well maintained.

Safety

Family and friends, including children, will be using your staircase in all likelihood so you want a choice of stone or material that allows for sufficient traction to prevent slipping.

Budget

Of course, last but not least, comes the affordability of the material. Cost of the stone itself and the cost of labour for installation should be taken into consideration to ensure it aligns with your budget.

Why Marble Staircases are a Great Choice

In fact, what makes marble stone really stand out is its trifecta of benefits: appearance, durability and versatility.

  • Unique appearance: Marble offers a one-of-a-kind beauty with its unique and iconic patterns and colours.
  • Durability: Marble is a highly durable material and can withstand the rigours of regular use.
  • Versatility: Available in a wide range of styles and colours, marble stone of all types can fit seamlessly into either classic and modern interior designs.

Benefits of Using Marble for Luxury Staircases

Long-term durability

Marble is incredibly resilient and can endure heavy use without significant deterioration. When maintained well, you can significantly reduce the need for frequent replacements or repairs.

Maintenance

Marble stone is relatively easy to clean and maintain. With regular sealing as well to protect it from stains and scratches, keeping your marble look its best and pristine is easy.

Increase home value

The luxurious appeal, popularity and functional benefits of marble staircases mean that your property will likely increase in value, making it a valuable investment for you should you wish to sell it in the future.

Allergen-free

Marble does not trap allergens like dust or pollen. For families with sufferers of allergies or asthma, this makes it a rather excellent choice.

Beautiful aesthetic

Marble’s unique patterns and colours allow for breathtaking visual effects and can lift the overall ensign and aesthetic of any room.

Colours and shades

Contrary to what some people might think, marble comes in a ton of shades and colours. Of course, nothing is as iconic as the classic off-white with cloudy veins style. But there is such a wide range of colours, styles and patterns, everyone is bound to find a type of marble that suits them.

Timelessness

Marble is not just elegant dependent on fashion and ingoing/outgoing style. Marble exudes a timeless elegance that never goes out of style, ensuring they remain stunning features for years and years.

How to Use Marble in Open-Plan Living Spaces

A bright and airy open-plan living space featuring a modern kitchen with a striking marble island and backsplash. The neutral-toned cabinetry, warm wooden flooring, and soft natural light create a seamless flow into the cozy living area with large windows and elegant furnishings.

Open-plan living spaces have become increasingly popular in home design. The seamless flow design allows for easy access to different areas of the home and helps to create a sense of spaciousness and facilitate social interaction. 

Traditional layouts, on the contrary, often have multiple separate rooms, separated by doors and walls, which – while offering other advantages – don’t offer the same feeling of spaciousness.

If you are building or renovating an open living space and are looking to incorporate some marble stone – you have come to the right place. In this article, we will help you develop the perfect marble open-plan design to create the home of your dreams.

Understanding Open-Plan Living

Before we dive into marble stone ideas, let’s ensure we understand how such a design differs from traditional living rooms.

1. Zoning

Unlike traditional homes, open-plan living rooms require careful consideration of zoning. Different areas will serve different functions, for example cooking, dining or just recreational relaxing. Your design should reflect the different areas and different purposes each serves.

2. Visual continuity

There are many luxury interior design trends that suit open-plan living. However, they all have one thing in common: Effective visual continuity. To really bring your space to life in a cohesive way, it is important that you maintain the visual harmony from one end of the open-space to the other. Remember: Visual continuity includes everything from colour to style and even texture.

3. Placement of furniture

There are many ways to incorporate a marble open-plan design to achieve your desired atmosphere, but you should also consider how the placement of your furniture will complement or hinder how you intend to use the space. Sofas, tables and other furniture can be used to divide the space effectively or can be positioned to complement the surrounding marble interior.

4. Lighting

Open-plan spaces need sufficient yet cohesive lighting so that the different areas can all function independently and yet all complement each other to create a single, focused lighting scheme.

5. Flow

Flow is important when it comes to traditional living spaces as well, but in an open-plan home it requires careful consideration. For one thing, traffic patterns may be harder to predict and require some design-related management. For another, you don’t want to compromise the very thing for which open-plan living is appealing with your design: Spaciousness.

6. Acoustics

Open-plan spaces tend to be more noisy than traditional spaces. From your choice of design material, such as luxury marble, to your placement of furniture, acoustic reverberation and echoes can be effectively controlled with the right decisions. 

7. Focal points

Traditional living rooms are often designed around a single element that acts as a focus point. Sometimes this is a coffee table and sometimes it is a fireplace. With open-plan spaces there is potential for multiple focal points for different areas. While this may not be a problem depending on how you intend on using the space, it does require some prior planning and forethought.

How to Incorporate Marble Open-plan Design

Are you looking for some marble design ideas for your open-plan home or living space? Here are some ideas to provide you with inspiration.

Marble floors

The inherent design and layout of an open-plan living area makes the floor more than just something to work on: It’s a potential piece of art. Using marble flooring throughout this area helps to create a unified, glamorous look that will be even more impactful than a smaller, more enclosed space.

Marble columns

Some columns in a home serve load-bearing or other functional purposes. Others don’t. Either way, your columns present another unique opportunity to infuse some luxury interior design ideas. A marble column can help to add a glamorous touch to the open-plan space and provide opportunity to differentiate between different zones without making the open feeling of the room feel compromised.

Marble furniture

It is common to think of floors and walls when it comes to marble stone. But there is no reason, especially for those on a budget, to limit yourself to big picture items. Even a marble coffee table or end table can work as wonderful statement pieces and focal points to help anchor the design of a room.

Accent wall

One challenge of incorporating wall cladding into an open-space is the potential difficulty and cost of installation across such a large area. This is where an accent wall, sometimes referred to as a statement wall, comes into play. You can choose any shade or style of marble you prefer and use it to bring a particular wall to life. It is an effective and understated way of infusing colour, personality and style into your home.

Kitchen countertops

Marble kitchen countertops are a common application of this luxury material. Fortunately, in an open-plan home there is more opportunity for such a beautiful and eye-catching benchtop to bring aesthetic pleasure to more than just the food preparation space.

How to Choose the Right Marble for Your Luxury Interior

Once you have an idea of how and where you want to incorporate marble in your open-plan design, you need to find the right marble stone.

With the enormous range of colours, patterns and styles, the choice can be overwhelming.

The key is to understand what you are trying to achieve in terms of feel and ambiance. Do you want a warm and earthy atmosphere? Then opt for marble stone that is a shade of brown, beige or even soft blue or green.

For a light and airy feel that complements the spaciousness we know and love in an open-plan space, opt for white or offwhite marble. There are even options to choose a marble slab with coloured veining if you want to include a spot of colour and visual depth. Plus, lighter colours will reflect more natural light and brighten the space effectively.

If it is a more sophisticated and refined look that you prefer, gray or mauve toned marble is the way to go. Alternatively, you might want to choose a gold, black, or even deep blue marble to add depth and bold luxury to your living space.

The Rise of Marble Bathrooms in Boutique Hotels

A luxurious boutique hotel bathroom featuring elegant white marble walls and flooring with dramatic gray veining. The space is adorned with gold fixtures, a freestanding bathtub, a glass-enclosed shower, and a rustic wooden stool, creating a refined yet inviting ambiance.

Marble stone has long been used in construction and interior design for its luxurious aesthetic and sophisticated visual flair. Whilst marble has and continues to be used in a variety of applications, the rise of boutique hotels using marble in their bathrooms specifically is notable.

This timeless natural stone is enjoying a resurgence in popularity within the hospitality industry as more and more luxury hotel interiors are turning to marble bathroom trends to make their guests’ next stay a truly memorable one.

Exploring the Rise of Marble Bathrooms in Boutique Hotels

The boutique hotel industry the world over is filled with organisations looking to enhance the sense of luxury and elegance associated with staying in their spaces. Marble, long used in foyers and lounges, has now well and truly made its way into the most intimate of hotel spaces: The bathroom.

Whilst the trend is most definitely driven by the desire to add a touch of spa-like sophistication, thereby elevating the entire experience, it goes beyond fashion. Marble bathrooms are highly functional and practical as well thanks to the durability, hardiness, long-lasting, and easy to clean nature of this gorgeous stone.

The use of marble in boutique hotel bathrooms can range in application and intensity. Some hotels are looking to simply use marble tiling across the floor, whilst others are using it sparingly to bring the bathroom vanity alike. The more luxury hotel interiors may opt for wall cladding, marble showers or a complete top-to-toe marble aesthetic. 

Regardless of the chosen marble bathroom trend, the beauty of marble is always bound to be a stunning cherry on top of the boutique hotel sundae.

Why Marble is Becoming Popular

So, what explains the rise in marble stone’s popularity amongst luxury and boutique hotels? It could be one (or more) of the following features and factors:

1. Timelessness

Fashions change. Interior design styles change. But marble has remained synonymous with luxury design for literally centuries. This is one fashion choice that won’t go out of style.

2. Practicality

As mentioned above, properly maintained marble can withstand the test of time and its durability and longevity makes it a smart investment for boutique hotels.

3. Design

Marble stone comes in a wide variety of different colours, styles, designs and patterns. This allows boutique hotels to really create their preferred bathroom space that reflects their brand and ensures guests have a unique experience.

4. Impact

There is nothing more striking that beautiful marble stone in a boutique hotel bathroom. Guests will love the aesthetic of a carefully considered marble-style bathroom.

5. Technological improvements

As the industry of stone maintenance develops, new sealers have helped to make marble even more resistant to stains and damage. For a hotel, which sees high-traffic and activity in their rooms, this can be truly advantageous.

Using Different Marble Stone in Luxury Hotel Interiors

Whilst the classic white and off-white marble stone remains the iconic – well – classic  choice, there is actually a wider range of marble colours and shades than people realise.

White Marble

We will start off with the timeless white marble. Versatile in its complementarity and application, white marble can be found in many boutique hotels around the world and offers a clean, elegant and bright aesthetic.

Black and Gold Marble

For the bold boutique hotel, a black and gold marble stone design adds a dramatic combination of both opulence and character. This stone aesthetic is particularly suited for statement walls or vanity tops. However, opting for bathroom flooring made of black and gold marble tiling is a fantastic option for a truly high-end look.

Gold Marble

What screams luxury hotel interior more than gold? Gold marble is a truly luxurious-looking choice of stone and can be used as an accent material to add glamour to a bathroom space or used in broader application to infuse a sense of warmth and royal personality.

Green Marble

Green marble is a striking choice for a boutique hotel. However, it can be the perfect option for managing the aesthetic balance between a natural ambiance and sophisticated design. Green marble can be used for shower wall cladding, vanities or even as an accent piece to tie the bathroom space together.

Black and White Marble

The black and white marble combination blends the timelessness of white marble with the boldness of darker stone. Frequently used in flooring patterns or wall tiles, the contrast in elements can bring a boutique hotel bathroom to life and allow for some really creative tiling designs.

Grey Marble

Grey marble is underestimated by many in terms of its aesthetic appeal and value. Beach grey marble, for example, evokes a calming and coastal feel that can perfectly complement a seaside, serene boutique hotel and turn an apartment bathroom into a private little oasis.

Blue Marble

Blue marble, such as Blue Dreams, comes with striking gold and white veining set over a cream-to-brown background shade. This simply tops off the unique and striking appeal of blue marble and can be used to create visually arresting focal points and statement walls in a boutique bathroom, or even used for broader applications to evoke feelings of calmness, nature and joy.
