Tips for Using Marble in Your Bathroom
Marble is a classic material, used as an impressive interior design accent for centuries, that fits naturally in a bathroom space. Homeowners may worry that other aspects of their bathroom—such as the size of the room or its location in the home—may mean that marble won’t work for them. However, with its many pattern choices and size options, marble can easily be incorporated into any bathroom. Here are some things to keep top of mind when using marble to spruce up a bathroom design.
Choosing the Perfect Placement
Even though marble is a beautiful natural stone, it’s important not to go overboard when adding it to a room. Avoid adding marble to the walls, floors, and countertops, as that may begin to make the space feel too cold and stark. Instead, focus on just a few key areas that marble can be used to highlight and make stand out. Creating a pattern on a wall, for example, can become a work of art in a room that typically does not have much.
Deciding On the Design
There are several types of interior marble tile designs to choose from, meaning that everyone should be able to find something to suit their current bathroom design. Calacatta Marble, or Calacatta Gold, is a pricier option that adds a touch of shine and sparkle wherever it is placed. Nero Marquina looks impressive as flooring, and its white veining offers a modern look and feel. Designers can also mix and match various marble patterns to create a splash of different color tones that make the bathroom unique.
Keeping the Marble Clean
When deciding to add marble to a bathroom, homeowners should understand the regular cleaning required to maintain the beauty and glitter of their new countertops or backsplashes. Cleaning agents with acids may break down the stone and, over time, destroy marble tiling, so avoiding such cleaners will help marble last as long as possible. Adequate cleaning products will be marked specifically for Natural Stone and pH neutral to help maintain the finish and clarity of the marble.
