The most common types of marble
Not all marble is the same. The exquisite stone comes in different types, each of which is quarried in a specific region. This isn't a directly relevant factor if you use alternative materials to create a bathroom with a marble look, but these alternative materials are usually fashioned after real types of marble. The easiest way to distinguish the different types is by color:
By the way: We can also help you decide which other colors to use in your bathroom, pointing out which combinations work especially well together.
Marble vs. a marble look
If you're interested in a marble bathroom, there are not only aesthetic decisions to be made but practical ones as well. Even though marble is an extremely high-quality material and a luxury bathroom with marble will have a very authentic look, there are some good reasons to consider using alternative materials with a marble look.
Real marble is expensive, and it requires a lot of maintenance compared to materials like porcelain. Marble is also relatively absorbent, but water-resistant materials are generally more practical in bathrooms. As a result, if you use marble tiles in your bathroom, they shouldn't be installed where they will be exposed to a lot of water or come in contact with standing water, such as in the shower.
In contrast to marble, the alternatives are usually much easier to care for and less expensive. But they also have some potential disadvantages compared to "real" marble bathrooms. Alternative materials may not be as durable as natural marble. Real marble is also more sustainable, depending on the method used to color the alternative material. And, of course, an artificial marble look is not the same thing as unique, natural stone, which has a higher resale value that shouldn't be overlooked.
To sum it all up, here are the different advantages of each material:
· Unique
· Extremely durable
· Relatively sustainable
· High resale value
· More suitable for the bathroom
· Less expensive
· Easier to care for
Where can I use marble in my bathroom to the best effect?
Marble tiles are certainly an option for your bathroom design in places where they make sense. But you can also consider using a marble slab in your bathroom as an impressive vanity console. If you want to keep the amount of marble in your bathroom minimal, consider using accessories, such as soap dispensers made of high-quality stone. When used in the right combination, even a small accent is enough to give your bathroom with marble a stylish and high-quality feel.
What finishes can be used in combination with marble in the bathroom?
Although a solid marble bathroom is always an option, it isn't the only way to use the material. Trendy combinations with other materials are especially recommended if you want to keep your bathroom with marble looking modern. But what other design effects go especially well with marble?
