picking the right style

Ready for the marble look in your home? Here are four gorgeous designs to choose from

PALE BEAUTY

Inspired by the classic onyx, a creamy white stone with brown and white banding, the White Lira porcelain marble tile has glossy taupe tones that sing out in its stone-effect surface. The design is elegant and the soft marble-look tiles provide a calm and opulent scene for sophisticated settings, whether that’s traditional or modern. £24sq m, cphart.co.uk

BOLD LINES

Individual veins and fissures are part of the natural appeal of marble, making each tile unique. Variation from tile to tile is to be expected, and the unique characteristics of Georgica Pond marble tiles are enhanced by the polished finish. The tiles have diamond sawn edges which, combined with the polished sheen, create a contemporary look. £94.22sq m, firedearth.com

PRETTY PATTERN

Terrazzo Nouveau Cobalt porcelain is a dazzling blue tile in an authentic terrazzo style. The cool blue design is flecked with richer shades, which perfectly mimics the marble chippings in a classic terrazzo tile. With a smooth, matt finish, this tile will add colour and personality to any setting, from bathrooms and kitchens to living areas. £69.60sq m, mandarinstone.com

DRAMATIC LOOK

Darker and more colourful marble is proving to be a particularly popular trend at the moment. So if you want to make a bold, striking statement in the bathroom, whether on a vanity unit, in the shower enclosure or as an eye-catching splashback, the deep green shade and dark veins of this Emerale marble tile will work beautifully. £82.94sq m, toppstiles.co.uk
