Why choose homes with marble floorings

A house with marble floors allows its inhabitants to live in nature indoors, enjoying the charm of a timeless natural material.
Due to its durability, a marble floor doesn’t need to be replaced, as it preserves and enhances its beauty over the years.
Being a natural material, one of the pros of marble flooring is that it perfectly marries all décor styles. From minimal to bold styles, a marble floor always grants a stylistic balance.

In addition to the classic and better-known floor in Carrara marble, a wide range of marbles may be used as floors. The Opus collection by Lithos Design gives a chromatic palette from which to choose. The Anemone pink marble floor, the white Carrara marble floor with the Allegro triangular pattern, or the Piano Chaplin black and white marble flooring are just some options by Lithos Design.

How to decorate home with marble floors: Practical advice

Il marmo è un materiale naturale, e per questo motivo, esso può sposarsi perfettamente con qualsiasi altro materiale, definendo ogni volta uno stile diverso. Uno stile minimale e pulito, vedrà un pavimento in marmo abbinato a complementi e arredi in vetro o metallo. Per uno stile più eclettico e audace, un pavimento in marmo troverà il suo perfetto match con il legno, per esempio il Rovere, il Faggio o anche l’Abete, in uno spazio che parla a 360° di natura.

A seconda della venatura del legno e della sua tonalità, si avranno effetti differenti. Un legno chiaro come l’Abete o il Rovere, darà più luce all’ambiente, mentre un Faggio o un Castagno, più scuri di texture, creeranno un risultato più elegante.

Marble is a natural material that can effortlessly blend with many other materials, creating a unique style each time. For a minimal and clean aesthetic, a marble floor pairs beautifully with furniture and home décor made of glass or metal. For a bold and eclectic style, a marble floor pairs well with wooden elements such as oak, beech, or fir, enhancing a space that highlights natural beauty.

The appearance of a room can vary greatly depending on the veins and tones of the wood used. Lighter woods, such as fir and oak, tend to brighten a space, while darker woods, like oak and chestnut, can create a more elegant and formal atmosphere.

At Jungbruun Hotel, wooden furniture and walls are paired with the Tropico 3D wallcovering in Pierre Bleue by Lithos Design. The outcome is a contemporary space recalling nature outside, not forgetting a touch of refinement.

As the color of the marble flooring changes, the chances of matching colors and materials increase.

The Isabel Gómez Studio matches the Allegro white marble flooring with the Barcode Zero 3D wallcovering and a minimal freestanding washbasin.

The Allegro marble floor also contributes to a more eclectic and bold atmosphere, complemented by a light blue wall, a reddish painting, and an ocher bench. The contrasting colors are striking, and the inlaid Allegro marble flooring introduces an entirely different aesthetic.

The Anemone pink marble flooring matches neutral and tone-on-tone hues and stronger chromatic accents; in this space, the soft flooring goes with a taupe armchair and a freestanding red lamp. The purpose here is to look for a tone-on-tone effect, adding some contrasting elements to give an ultimate touch.

Marble flooring can easily complement many colors and materials, depending on the chosen color palette and style. The final look ultimately depends on the interior designer or architect’s vision, whether they prefer contrasting elements or a tone-on-tone approach.

Furniture and modern home decor with marble flooring

If you want a modern and neat style, the combo of marble and glass or marble and metal is always a great choice. Discover the match between marble and glass with the Petalo and Elitra sculptural tables, made of a marble base and a glass tabletop.

In this case, glass meets a double function: it lends lightness to marble and makes the hollow base visible.

If you want, instead, to create cozier, soft, and eclectic interiors, metal can be the right choice.

In the Primrose Hill residence, Studio MILO paired the beige and light blue Tangram Patchwork inlaid marble flooring with metal furniture and wicker seats.

The vintage style evokes the conservatories of the past.

In the Revery Bar project at the Park Lane Hilton Hotel in London, the marble flooring pairs again with metal. The AvroKO design studio matched the Tangram Ginger red marble floor with red seating, chaise lounges, and armchairs with metallic details. The striking contrast of the marble-metal combo further enhances the sophisticated choice of a monochromatic palette that explores the endless range of red hues.

70s marble flooring: how to decorate with a contemporary retro style

70s Marble flooring is a trend that has never gone out of fashion. Terrazzo has become a forge of memories and an essential vintage element in every house.

When flooring takes center stage, it’s important to consider combinations of different elements in the room carefully. The key is achieving a perfect balance, ensuring that no element overshadows the others.

Lithos Design Opus collection brings back the allure of terrazzo here with a productive and aesthetic modern interpretation.

Designer Raffaello Galiotto skillfully combined various colored marbles in contrasting shades or tonal harmonies, always maintaining a sense of chromatic balance. The green marble floors — Tangram Aloe, Bambù Foresta, and Anemone Muschio — explore a spectrum of green hues, which are then beautifully complemented by white marble, resulting in a light and harmonious overall effect.

The key is to have fun to explore. Terrazzo doesn’t pair well with vintage furniture only. The contrast with modern décor could even enhance the terrazzo floor.

The Piano Chaplin black and white marble floor, recalling 70s flooring in dark tones, is here matched with a contemporary sofa and a minimal coffee table. The marble floor doesn’t prevail, allowing all the elements to express themselves harmoniously.

Hints for projects with marble flooring

Good lighting at home is essential; plenty of natural light makes interiors cozier and airy, improving the dwellers’ well-being.

If natural light alone is insufficient, there are several alternatives to consider.

Firstly, you can opt for a white or beige marble floor that helps reflect light inside. Even better, to further intensify the effect, you can opt for a marble floor with a polished finish.

If you have a thing for black, red, or green marble floors, you could focus on furniture, opting for neutral and light home décor and furniture.

In this case, too, a polished finish could be a plus!

How to incorporate marble with home decor

Besides furniture, do not forget home decor to add the ultimate chic touch. Elements like plants, accessories, and paintings can make a difference in a space. In some interiors, home decor matches the furnishing style and finishes, such as floors, wallcoverings, and window fixtures. In other cases, it can completely change the mood of the room.

For instance, neat and minimal furnishings can beautifully contrast with pop art paintings or vibrant colors reminiscent of Expressionism, and Memphis Design.

The final result can be striking and breathtaking, demonstrating how different styles coexist in the same room. The key is always to find the right balance among these elements.
