Everyone knows white goes with everything. And white marble tiles are no exception.
White marble tiles are luxurious and timeless, but to add real character, white marble should be paired with other materials to add depth, contrast and personality.
Whether you’re designing a new kitchen or renovating a bathroom, here are some ways for you to mix and match white marble tiles.
White Marble and Wood
Pairing white marble and wood works wonders. On its own, white marble can be slightly clinical and cold, but the wood adds warmth and texture to balance it out. The natural grain of wood also contrasts beautifully against the natural vein of marble.
How to Pair
- Choose white marble worktops with natural, wood cabinetry for a rustic yet modern kitchen.
- Pick a white marble tile backsplash with reclaimed wood open shelving.
- Choose marble floor tiles and accessories with antique wooden furniture, for a classy finish.
White Marble and Industrial Finishes
Industrial metal can bring a rougher touch to the classy elegance of marble. When paired together, these two materials offer a great juxtaposition, adding interest to your home.
How to Pair
- White marble can look great against stainless steel backsplashes, sinks and appliances.
- Brushed brass furniture, such as plant pots, side tables and lamps, add a rustic yet high end feel to white marble.
White Marble and Glass
Glass can make white marble tiles feel even brighter and even more open. The simplicity and neutrality of glass allows the marble to take centre stage.
How to Pair
- White marble tiles look great in bathrooms, with glass shower enclosures and large mirrors for finishing touches.
- Glass table tops allow the natural beauty of marble to shine through.
- Mirrored or glass shelving can add a high-end feel to your space, when paired with beautiful white marble.
White Marble and Concrete
Concrete’s matte and raw texture contrasts beautifully with the polished, shine of marble. Because both materials are so durable, they’re also great for high traffic areas.
How to Pair
- A white marble backsplash works very well with a concrete worktop.
- Polished concrete walls pair wonderfully with the natural, grey veining in white marble tiles.
Caring for White Marble Tiles
To properly care for your white marble tiles, you should regularly dust and clean them. Make sure you mop up any spills immediately, using an appropriate white marble cleaner (and avoiding anything super acidic, like lemon juice).
To prolong your marble’s lifespan, seal it regularly to prevent stains seeping in. And, always use coasters and matts to protect the surface of this precious stone.
