Marble is one of the most versatile materials in the world which can be paired with any other material and always yields stunning results. SURFACES REPORTER in partnership with A Class Marble explores the possibilities with the stunning material.
Making various combinations with marble
Marble harmoniously combines with most modern material palettes, such as glass, metal, and wood, adding depth and finesse to various spaces. These combinations enhance the visual appeal and bring practical advantages, making marble a versatile choice for contemporary design.
Marble with metals
Pairing marble with alternative materials featuring distinct colours and textures can elevate structural and functional aesthetics, resulting in an interesting contrast. For instance, marble paired with sleek metals such as stainless steel or brass can introduce a striking contemporary flair, balancing the natural stone’s classic appeal with an industrial edge. This juxtaposition is compelling in crafting modern façades or accentuating architectural features like columns and beams to achieve a refined yet bold aesthetic.
Marble with Wood
Marble also complements wood by softening the organic warmth of timber with its cool tones. This combination is ideal for conceiving inviting, luxurious spaces where structure and warmth coexist, such as atriums or grand entrances. Likewise, a marble staircase framed by wooden railings can offer functional elegance and add discrete textures and dimensions to the design.
Marble with Glass
Using marble with glass provides a contemporary, light-filled appearance in structural applications. Glass panels framed by marble columns or walls create transparency and openness. At the same time, the stone adds stability and visual weight, making the design feel airy and grounded.
