Total Interiors Eye Candy — These 6 Rooms Make Mixed Marble the Hero, and I Want to Copy Them All for My Home

Compilation of images.

I'm rightly obsessed with everything 'drenching' right now, be it color, pattern, or tiles. Going head-to-toe with a hue, a print, or a material can imbue a space with a richness; a real sense of luxury, akin to a boutique hotel.

So, of course, I was captivated when a PR recently emailed me about the concept of "technicolor marble" — an interior design trend about going all-out with stone in different colors and patterns to build schemes abundant in texture and that celebrate the raw beauty of this natural material.

Mixing marbles and stones isn't a new design idea for modern spaces, but I've seen plenty of clever examples by designers recently, who've used this technique to create interesting, layered spaces that really wow — and not all of them require drenching from head to toe, either. Here are some of my favorites.

Love the way designers have expertly clashed the stones in these spaces? I bet you're going to enjoy the concept of 'pattern splicing,' too.
