Where Marble Can Be Used in Your Designs
Marble has long been a symbol of luxury and timeless elegance, making it a highly sought-after material in high-end homes, hotels, and commercial spaces. Its versatility allows it to be used in a variety of applications, from grand architectural features to small decorative accents. Through our close relationship with Luce di Carrara—one of Italy’s most iconic marble producers—we’re able to offer exclusive access to some of the finest natural stone available, rich in heritage, craftsmanship, and design potential. Whether you are designing a new home or enhancing an existing space, here are some of the best places where marble can be used in your designs.
Bathrooms – Spa-Like Luxury
Nothing says opulence quite like a marble-clad bathroom. The natural veining and rich textures of marble create a calming, spa-like atmosphere.
Walls and floors: Full-height marble walls and matching floors create a seamless and sophisticated look. Luce di Carrara offers a variety of finishes—not just polished and honed, but also textured and sculpted surfaces that add depth and character to vertical spaces.
Countertops and vanities: A marble vanity top adds instant elegance to any bathroom.
Bathtubs and sinks: Carved from solid blocks of marble, Luce di Carrara’s baths and basins are true statement pieces—bringing both function and artistry to a bathroom. Each piece is a sculptural element, with options that highlight the natural beauty and individuality of the stone.
Kitchens – The Heart of the Home
Marble is a popular choice for kitchens, offering both beauty and functionality.
Worktops and islands: A marble countertop elevates any kitchen, adding a high-end, polished look.
Backsplashes: A full marble backsplash creates a striking visual statement while protecting walls. With Luce di Carrara’s range of finishes—including fluted, ribbed, and textured surfaces—you can introduce depth and dimension that goes beyond the flat, polished norm, turning the backsplash into a true focal point.
Cladded cabinetry: Marble panels can be used to enhance kitchen units and islands for a seamless finish.
Hallways – A Grand Entrance
Your hallway is the first impression of your home or building, and marble can make it truly unforgettable.
Marble flooring: A polished marble floor creates a timeless, sophisticated entrance, whether one single shade, or a Victorian style checkerboard pattern.
Feature walls: A bookmatched marble wall in an entrance hall exudes grandeur and luxury.
Columns and archways: Marble can be used to frame doorways and create classical architectural details. With Luce di Carrara’s in-house craftsmanship and advanced fabrication techniques, custom pieces can be made to fit your exact design intent—whether it’s an ornate column, a sweeping archway, or a sculptural focal point. Every element can be tailored to create a truly bespoke entrance.
