Marble Design Trends for Refreshing Summer Blooms

Marble has been used in construction since the ancient Greek period and remains a popular building material. It is a highly valued stone known for its elegance and timeless design.

Of all the natural stones, one of the best ones is marble, which has high tensile strength, is damage resistant, is simple to clean and has a sophisticated aesthetic. In addition, because of its damage resistance property, it is very adaptable and may be used in your kitchen as countertops, wall cladding, and floor tiles.

Marble feels cooler on the surface as compared to other natural stones due to its e unique heat conduction of the stone. Also, its high density and hardness allow heat transfer from a warm object. Heat also dissipates quickly through marble, so the flooring does not feel warm.

Beautifully veined and cool, marble has been used throughout tropical climes to help keep homes fresh during the long summer months. The epitome of natural glam, 2023 has seen a resurgence in using colourful marble as interior designers search for new ways to bring the outdoors in.

As part of our summer interior design trends, we've assembled a selection of our favourite colourful marble furniture for a vibrant and luxurious home.

Go Green with Green Marble!

Vibrant and refreshing, Green Marble is everywhere this season. Its verdant hues denote the natural world in its glory, lending a visual freshness to modern interiors. For styling, rich dark woods such as teak, mahogany or walnut make for a dramatic counterpoint, while copper or gold accents will help accentuate the refreshing hue and its intense white veining.

The Gold Glam with Golden Calacatta Marble

Yellow riven marbles are the ultimate expression of luxury. While golden Calacatta Marble remains a classic, architects' and designers' experiments with ceramic have made waves in recent years. The contemporary palette echoes the lustre of marble while providing extra resistance to staining and heat. This palette weaves together the opulence of gold with the elegance of golden Calacatta Marble to create a glamorous space.

The Emperor's Choice with Emperador Marble

A firm favourite among architects and designers, brown Emperador Marble is easily recognised due to its distinctive hazelnut veining and honey undertones. Its deep swirling browns add gravitas and style to minimal living rooms, making a beautiful statement without seeming overly ostentatious. Be sure to pair the brown Emperador Marble with gold accent details and plenty of indoor greenery to help bring the stone to life.

The Monochrome Magic with Grey Marble and White Marble

While not as vivid as some of the other hues, the complex allure of monochrome marble is ideal for those who seek a more understated approach to this summer trend. We're particularly fond of Grey Marble and White Marble among the myriad stones.

Due to the way the Marble is formed, it is highly heat resistant. Marble is formed deep within the earth due to volcanic and igneous activity. Magmatic processes underground or within volcanic centres burn at over 1,000 degrees Celsius before crystallisation or the cooling process that gives marble stone its signature crystal appearance. Minerals are liquid at that temperature which later solidifies. Marble is merely limestone mixed with other materials and minerals at these extremely high temperatures. It is simply limestone until combined with other available minerals in this state. However, only after the natural process, it becomes marble! Due to its formation in this manner, it can withstand high temperatures without damage.
