Customizing Marble: Tips and Tricks
1. No
two slabs are alike
Are you interested in a certain colour or
style of marble? Some specific types of
marble are specific to geographical regions.
For example the well-known white Carrera marble is quarried in
Tuscany. If you have your heart set on a
colour, talk to a knowledgeable marble distributor – the best ones know every shade
of marble available. Bringing images of
what you are looking for will help them locate it for you.
2. Experiment
with tiling and grout
Tiling with marble can provide wildly
different looks depending on technique.
Small, delicate tiles provide an ornate, elegant look while larger tiles
are more sturdy and uniform. Alternating
tile colours and styles can create a beautiful finished product with a real
"wow” factor. Even something as simple
as tile orientation can dramatically alter the look and feel of a space. Grout is available in many colours, so look
online to see what you like best! Darker
grout can be very elegant and modern – as well as easy to clean!
3. Consider
an unexpected cut or finish
High-End marble can be finished in many
different ways. Dark marble with a
high-shine finish can add a great deal of elegance to a space. Lighter marble with a more raw finish can
create a beautiful rustic look. Bevels are the finished edges of the marble
slab. These too can be customized. Square edges provide a more modern
silhouette, while rounded edges are a bit more old-fashioned. Most marble slab providers offer dozens of
options, so take a look at all the options available.
Your home is your castle, so be creative and
experiment! Decorating with high-end marble
slabs provides a plethora of options and ways to customize your GTA home.
