Coloured marble tiles can be an excellent choice for use in and throughout your home. Marble stone, being the hardy and durable material that it is, is popular for use as flooring in terms of both fashion and function.
To that end, while the practicalities of marble are all well and good for high foot traffic areas of the home, there are plenty of stylistic and aesthetic reasons why marble tiles might be the right choice for you.
The Classic Marble Look
The most commonly used type of marble, and the classic, iconic aesthetic of this stone, is white and off-white with grey vein patterns.
Most likely, when you think of marble, you’re picturing Carrara Marble, which is sourced (and named) after the city of Carrara in Italy. Over the years, this aesthetic has proven timeless and popular among builders and designers. Classic, luxurious and versatile, it’s no wonder that it’s been long associated with the stone itself.
There are a few other types of marble that look similar, however, such as Italian Marble, Calacatta Marble and Statuario Marble, all of which will look great when used across your home’s floor.
But, we’re here to tell you that there’s a lot more on offer from the family of marble. Coloured marble tiles can produce a mesmerising and invaluable visual effect in the home.
Coloured Marble Tile Options for your Floors
Floors can and are customised to suit all sorts of personal preferences and styles. While we’ll go through some of our favourite options of coloured marble, remember that each coloured floor can be further tailored to suit your preferences in terms of tile size and pattern.
Light Grey Marble Flooring
Light grey marble flooring is an excellent option. This interior design style allows you to maintain a minamlist and modern aesthetic or highlight an industrial design style, if you so choose.
With enough texture and colour depth to ensure your floors pop off the ground, the neutral colour palette keeps the overall effect sleek and simple.
We particularly love light grey marble flooring in areas of the home where you want to achieve a calm and relaxing atmosphere but worry that white or offwhite marble might come off as too light or bright.
Green Marble Flooring
Ever heard of green marble? Once you see it, it’s hard to look back!
This beautiful and unique marble option works really well in interior design applications when one wants to emphasise the natural world and organic visual tones. If you love incorporating wood and other natural textures in your home, green marble flooring will look an absolute treat.
There’s a calming effect to green marble that can help to achieve a fresh yet relaxing atmosphere in the home without creating too bold or out-there a look that overwhelms guests and visitors.
Blue Marble Floor
Blue marble is as bold as it is striking. While this bright and vibrant marble stone shading might not suit every palette or home, for those looking for a modern or contemporary stone floor that still pops, blue is a great option.
There’s still plenty of variety among types and shades of blue marble tiles, so depending on your personal taste for the dramatic and eye-catching designs you may want to look for subtler blues or vibrant hues.
Much like green marble flooring, a blue marble floor can evoke a sense of calmness and even a touch of nature as it evokes the bright blue sky up above.
Black and Gold Marble Floor Tiles
Moving on to the luxurious black and gold marble floor tiles…
This bold and rich looking aesthetic will create a sense of warmth and snugness in your home. Perfect for matching with ornate furnishings and finishes, black and gold marble tiles have an inherent visual complexity that can be very appealing and attractive.
While perhaps not best suited to contemporary or modern aesthetics, for those of you wanting to achieve that royal opulence design style, few other materials can measure up to the classic gloriousness of black and gold marble floor tiles.
Gold Marble
If you’re feeling like you’re not ready for the boldness of black and gold marble, straight gold marble can still help you achieve a stunning and glamorous aesthetic.
Perfect for pairing with either metallic accents or minimalist furnishings, gold marble tiles are both bold yet subtle in a very enriching way.
A gold colour palette also balances the practicalities of lighter, brighter flooring with the visual complexity of this rich-looking stone.
Black and White Marble
Balancing both the boldness of black and timelessness of white, black and white marble is quite the material. At once bold and vibrant and yet neutral in spots and understated in overall affect, it can help to achieve a perfect symbiosis when used as flooring.
Black and white marble can also be used in a variety of different patterns to help achieve an aesthetic that suits your particular preferences and partialities.
Pink Marble
Last but not least comes pink marble. This unique option for flooring is stylish in a rather subtle yet impactful way. Evoking feelings of romance and femininity, the soft, pastel colouring of the marble matches excellently with delicate and ornate furnishings.
Pink marble is super effective in helping infuse some low-key warmth whilst still maintaining a sleek, minimalist overall aesthetic.
