How to decorate your home with marble

How to decorate your home with marble? Recently back in fashion and very much in vogue, marble is a material characterised by great elegance and more topical than ever. Today as in the past, a marble floor is a particularly sophisticated and refined furnishing choice.

In this article we will give you some advice and suggestions for furnishing your home with marble: here is all you need to know!

Modern marble floors

Marble is a material that can be used in interior design to create a variety of coverings. In addition to floor coverings, marble can also be used for wall coverings, lamps, kitchen and bathroom tops and other furnishing and decorative elements. Lastly, this material can also be used with wallpaper or stoneware (a material that reproduces marble perfectly from a visual point of view).

Let's start by talking about the creation of a modern marble floor. First of all we would like to point out that deciding to have a marble floor means giving our rooms that extra touch of elegance and sophistication that can really make the difference. The first piece of advice we would like to give you if you have decided to have a marble floor is to choose the colour shade of the material that best suits your home decor.

Always remember that the floor of your home is one of the most important furnishing elements capable of giving great personality to your spaces: a sort of business card of your home. Having said that, there is nothing better than a marble floor to give not only elegance but also great functionality and practicality to your rooms.

Marble flooring: which to choose

There is a wide variety of marble slabs available on the market today, in a variety of colours, to cover the floors of your home. First of all, you can decide whether to decorate your rooms with a classic white marble floor or opt for a different colour. In recent years black marble flooring has become a very interesting furnishing solution. Generally speaking, we can say that dark marble is the perfect covering solution for large rooms. This colour of marble is also perfect for use in spaces with a baroque or classic design. However, it should be pointed out that black marble can nowadays be an excellent contrasting solution for floor coverings in a house furnished in a modern, dynamic style. Just think of modern houses that are particularly bright, furnished with large designer mirrors and light coloured walls and furniture.

White marble, on the other hand, is an excellent solution that fits perfectly into a more contemporary environment, combined with furnishings made from innovative materials, such as glass or steel, for example, to make your spaces particularly shiny and bright.

And again, if you want to create a more eccentric and eclectic environment, you can opt for marble with special veining or characterised by more typically pop colours, or even characterised by more vintage-retro geometries and patterns.

How to furnish a living room with a marble floor

Furnishing a living room with a marble floor can be a really interesting and exciting job, even if in some cases it is particularly delicate. Our advice is always to consider the furnishing context of your living room very carefully before choosing the model and colour of marble to install in the room.

If your living room is furnished in a more classic and traditional style, with wood tones, in this case you can choose a marble with warmer shades of pink and orange. In a more modern environment with many shiny surfaces, it is better to opt for a classic grey or white marble floor.

Marble flooring in a modern home

As mentioned in the previous paragraphs, a marble floor does not only evoke a classic and traditional style. In some cases, this type of floor covering can fit perfectly into the context of a modern home. Thanks to its brilliant finish, marble is in some cases perfect for use in a modern or contemporary environment.

Some design elements of our time are in fact perfect to be combined with marble. For example, the use of a classic white marble or a more eccentric and daring colour (such as red or green) can be the perfect contrast to modern or contemporary furniture. The latter, in this configuration, should be chosen in more neutral tones and colours.

In particular, polished, steel, lacquered or resin-coated surfaces are perfect to be combined with a marble floor. In general terms we can say that square-shaped furniture with particularly simple lines are perfect for a marble floor. Our advice in this case is never to exaggerate with the number of pieces of furniture set up in a room with a marble floor.

Lastly, if you have decided to opt for marble as the main covering for your rooms, it is better to avoid making a floor with this material in the bedrooms. Marble is in fact a cold material and for this reason not very conducive to sleep. In the bathroom, on the other hand, marble is perfect because it is highly resistant to water and liquids in general.
