Although synonymous with luxury, even modest abodes are now combining marble floors, walls, splash backs and sinks with contemporary fixtures and fittings to provide an exciting new take on an old favourite in the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t just take our word for it, plenty of glossy interior design mags and online design resources are currently shouting about the merits of marble in the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s all the fuss about?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly beautiful, marble is waterproof, durable and hard-wearing, making it the perfect stone for bathroom use. Not only does it bask in its association with luxury, but it can add drama or a subtle design flourish to your interior.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Old glamour with a modern twist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Large interiors can handle marble on a large scale. So if you\u2019ve got plenty of space to play with, go for marble with bold veining in a subtle colour way for maximum impact. Add a beautiful modern oval bath, contemporary modular furniture and blend with oversized mirrors and a show-stopping chandelier to inject some glamour.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com\/736x\/cf\/f3\/74\/cff37469af93ad84c36cad8b8ca9e8af.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"537\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">SHH Architects<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Back to Black<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no question that white marble looks stunning in bathrooms, but if you fancy upping the ante, why not opt for seriously modern black marble with pale grey veining instead?<\/p>\n<p>Used here on the wall, floor and counter top, it really highlights the crisp white contemporary bath and sink.
