Marble is a luxurious material that can add a touch of elegance to virtually any space. However, if you plan to use it in your bathroom, you should know a few things before getting started. 

  • Adding marble to a bathroom can be pricey, but that doesn’t mean it is out of reach. Depending on your budget you can choose bathroom tile ideas that use marble as an accent or an all-over covering.
  • Marble is a porous material and can stain easily. So don’t forget to seal your countertops regularly in order to protect them.
  • It is also slippery, making the floors dangerous when wet. Opt for honed floor tiles with a slightly textured surface or use bathmats to prevent slips and falls.
  • Marble is also delicate and prone to scratching or chipping. Polishing will help deter this from happening.

If you are looking for a modern and sleek bathroom design, a white marble such as Carrara could be a perfect choice. It conveys a crisp and clean appeal that can also be quite striking with prominent veining. In addition, white marble is easy to match with all sorts of bathroom fixtures as well as different materials and styles.

Contrary to popular belief, marbles are not associated only with luxury and extravagance. Minimalism and stones actually sync in perfect harmony. The rough texture of natural marbles provides an excellent opportunity to infuse visual dynamics into a minimalist bathroom without impeding its simplicity. Their advantages become particularly prominent in a sleek, monolithic, dark marble bathroom.

Showers encased in stone floor-to-ceiling are impressive and make a great feature in any bathroom. Or you may also create seamlessly integrated toiletries storage by incorporating a tiny nook or open shelves clad in the same material. The majority of high-quality marbles will work well for this purpose, so choose according to personal taste. 

5. Tile Variety

Using a variety of marble tile shower ideas in your bathroom will be sure to create some eye candy. Even when using the majority of the same color, the different shapes and details will ensure the shower has visual flow. It is common to see smaller tiles on the floor, while wall tiles are larger. And for added detail, create a focal point with a patterned tile inlay.

6. Decorative Marble Shower Ideas

Let the marble in your bathroom serve as the decor too. A patterned tile layout will catch the eye and allow for the rest of the bathroom finishes and fixture to remain simple. This idea can be applied to just the shower stall or the entire bathroom. The choice of how much creativity you’d like to incorporate is yours.

The strong graphic pattern of a black and white bathroom marble floor is a timeless classic that never fails to impress. Due to its simplicity, a checkered pattern is the easiest to obtain and typically most affordable. However, the striking appeal of mosaic, herringbone, hexagon, chevron, or unique abstract designs makes them worthy of consideration, too. 

8. Marble Floor Decor

A single decorative marble slab might be an ideal decoration alternative for those who dislike bathroom rugs. Choose marble with adequate texture and color and incorporate one flamboyant piece into an otherwise simple floor. You will strike two jackpots at once by maximizing visual impact while simplifying maintenance.
