When designing the most opulent of bathroom styles, marble is the most indulgent addition of them all. Graceful, timeless and simply oozing style, it’s little wonder that it’s a go-to for many dream bathroom designs. With marble mania currently trending in the world of bathroom decor, this material was once favoured by Romans when designing their bathrooms!
Here The Bathroom Showroom considers the phenomenon of marble mania and shows you how to effectively re-create the effect on your bathroom. Whether creating an entire marble bathroom or simply adding selective marble-inspired fittings, there's something for all.

Is Marble Suitable for Bathrooms?

Firstly, many people often wonder at the effectiveness of using such a luxurious material in bathrooms. Fortunately, marble is a stone material, meaning it's naturally water-resistant. So, this makes it a sound practical choice for this room type.
When using marble in bathrooms, the effect is undeniably luxurious but ultimately sleek and clean. Offering an element of space to the room, marble can also add incredible warmth when you light it up.

Why Is the Marble Look So Popular in Bathrooms?

  • Marble always looks clean, sleek, and polished
  • It’s a minimal material but you will find dashes of colour and patterns to suit also, alongside a hint of textured surfaces
  • A most indulgent choice for the bathroom
  • Marble never really goes out of fashion
  • You can create an entire marble space
  • You can simply add just a few marble fixtures and fittings to suit
  • This material choice is perfect when mixing and matching and will complement almost anything!

What Goes With a Marble Bathroom?

The best aspect about marble is that it can be used almost effortlessly with any other decor, colour scheme, and bathroom fixtures and fittings. Whether your taste is modern or traditional, contemporary or classic, marble is a fantastic natural element that just works. 
From a marble bathroom with gold fixtures to a marble bathroom with black fixtures the possibilities are endless with this material.
