WATCH: Interior trends set to dominate homes in 2023
With its unique grain, colour and tone, marble is one of those hallowed materials that is en vogue no matter the current interior design décor trend.
Made from recrystallised carbonate minerals – mainly calcite and dolomite – this metamorphic rock has a pattern so distinctive, it not only lends its name to the likes of marble cake but makes for a striking focal point in any home.
So, position your marble dining table (or other marble furniture) over a relaxed jute rug, and you’ve got yourself a functional and elegant statement piece. (Just make sure to clean any spills promptly and get an annual sealant for longevity, due to the porous nature of true marble.)
