Decorate a home with marble and you will create a glamorous appeal that's also packed with texture and natural colors. It's irresistible. But where to start with a stone that epitomizes the quiet luxury trend so popular currently?
‘I choose the marble before anything else in the room and then the scheme evolves from there,’ says interior designer Sarah Southwell. ‘I then pick out colors and textures to create a scheme that complements the marble. Then you need to decide if you wanted it honed (matte), which I prefer, or polished (shiny), the type of edge and the thickness. I normally go for 0.7in as it saves on cost and still looks great.’
