The beauty of marble has withstood the test of time. From the 1500’s when the Romans and Greeks incorporated the rock into their homes and culture, marble has symbolized sophistication and style. Despite the centuries, marble’s iconic patterns remain prevalent in today’s home designs. Marble may have been introduced over 500 years ago but today's trend in marble still make it a popular item in household designs today.
Bold Cuts – Let the Floor Move You
Traditional marble patterns boast a simple, sophisticated look. However, trends in 2014 suggest exploring its secretive, bold side. A new décor objective with marble is to include an illusion of movement. This is done by incorporating tiles that have sweeping patterns and placing them in a continuous arrangement. The tiles should connect with each other to provide a feeling of flow on the floor. Opustone’s Paonazzo, Calacatta Gold and Wagamama marble tiles are prime examples of what this trend calls for. The tile placement will bring a unique design with a contemporary look barely seen in houses.
Textures – Surprises in Every Light
The character of a floor can set the mood of your design. While marble holds an untouched sense of sophistication, incorporating a tile with an unanticipated vibrant tone adds an unforeseen texture to the room. Smokey gray and monochromatic pantone hues will be popular as they are subtle, yet vary in different lights. Softened tints of gray attract different angles of light, allowing the tiles natural shapes and brushes to shine through. Calacatta Azul Strado, Zebrino White Hydro and Solarelle Leather will help give you this look. Expect the room to vary throughout the day as different lights will bring out the unique features of your floor.
Accent – Complete Your Design
Marble is beautiful for both its look and versatility. Using the classic rock in walls has been on the rise and is already beckoning for attention. With a simple pattern of marble on the wall, a sudden break in arrangement with a different style, shape or color of marble adds an uncommon element to the wall. This will create a small amount of pop in the room without it overtaking the initial design. Do not deter the accent piece from the original look though, you do not want the pattern to command the look of the room. An example would be placing the Augusta White Slab with a small section of the Arabescato Oribico Girgio product in the middle. This idea will give your room a contemporary feel in its classic fashion.
Marble is a timeless piece to have in your room and will always look great anywhere you place. But with the proper designs and planning, you can keep the sophistication the rock embodies
