Nothing communicates elegance and sophistication in the home more than marble. The stone is associated with ancient civilization and modern-day masterpieces in the field of construction. In keeping with an old world flavor of design you may want to make marble your choice when designing a bathroom or other specialty projects. When it comes to marble, there are so many magnificent color choices that make the possibilities endless for an impeccable design. Aside from its artistic appeal, the same advantages of granite apply to marble as well. Although not as hard-wearing as granite, if it is well-maintained, it will stay fabulous for a lifetime and will be an outstanding investment for your home.
