Marble is viewed as a sophisticated and luxurious material and is appreciated for its looks, being often a prime choice for kitchens and bathrooms. There are many different ways to use marble in interior design and today we’re going to explore 10 methods which you can use if you want to include this exquisite material in your bathroom. There’s an option for everyone, whether you’re the type that likes to be surrounded by marble or to only use it in small doses. A marble bathroom will always look refined and elegant, no matter how you look at it.
Full marble bathroom
There’s marble on the walls, floor and ceiling of this contemporary bathroom and instead of looking overwhelming it actually maintains a rather simple and look. The key is to allow this material to be the center of attention and to avoid strong contrasts or unnecessary extra focal points.
An elegant marble backsplash
Marble is an excellent backsplash material and if you add a strip of LED lights to the underside of the cabinets/ mirrors you’ll highlight its beauty even more. A marble backsplash can be paired with a matching countertop but we actually prefer this plain white one better.

If you think marble backsplashes and countertops are too common and you’d rather opt for something else, another option can be a marble washbasin (or more than one, depending on the type of bathroom you’re decorating).

Of course, there are other ways to avoid mainstream decors and still use marble in your bathroom. A great example is a marble bathtub. Obviously a freestanding tub is your best bet if you want this to become a statement piece and focal point for the bathroom.

As stylish and beautiful as freestanding tubs are, sometimes they’re just not the best option. A built-in tub doesn’t completely ruin your chances of adding elegant marble accents to the decor. In fact, it reveals a whole new range of design possibilities. For example, a marble top surround can make the tub stand out in a really interesting way.
