Marble bathroom is not only decadently beautiful, but it is best enjoyed by those wild at heart since we can all let ourselves dream about the perfect combination of materials and feelings.

Marble has a long, precious history in design. For thousands of years, the stone has been used to complete some of the most famous structures in the world, such as the Taj Mahal, the Supreme Court building, the leaning tower of Pisa, the Pantheon and Michelangelo’s Statue of David.

However, in the 1980s, the material lost some of its classic appeal, becoming synonymous with gaudy, over-the-top style. Homes were outfitted with marble bathrooms, kitchens and other living spaces accented with shiny brass or gold fixtures.

Today, marble is making its way back into homes (thanks to an ’80s design renaissance). Companies are even giving marble a playful twist, creating everything from backpacks to yoga pants to furniture inspired by the stone.

The marble can help to turn the bathroom into a spa-like retreat.

Consider whole slabs of marble or marble-inspired surfacing to line the shower walls or floors. Use softer colors such as gray, white and cream, which will make the bathroom feel light and clean. There are a range of marbles that can make the bathroom filled with glamour like the carrara or the nero marquina marble. A good quality marble is a great place to start to get inspired. And keep in mind this natural stone will have large variations in every slab.

Marble in bathrooms has become much more popular, so you can find stylish options at a variety of price points. You can clad walls in slabs of marble which can be expensive, but adds an elegant and luxurious look.

Displaying either fine veins or large details that shape depth, modern marble bathrooms surprise the essence of luxury. In order to keep this space private, use different types of transparency levels to hide from indiscreet eyes or install roman blinds for extra privacy when needed.
