choosing the right marble type for your customized furniture

Marble is a timeless and luxurious material that can instantly elevate the look and feel of any room. With its natural veining, unique patterns, and range of colors, marble is a popular choice for furniture such as dining tables, coffee tables, and plinths. However, it can be very difficult to navigate in all the different marble types, their benefits and their price points. 

Here are some factors to consider, when choosing the right marble type for your project:

1. Durability

Marble is a long-lasting material, but some types of marble are more resistant to scratches, stains and etching than others. You need to consider usage and maintenance to ensure that you choose a durable and practical option.

2. Color

Marble comes in a range of colors, from classic white and great to more expressive colors such as red, green, yellow or violet. When choosing the right marble type for your project, consider the overall color scheme of your room and how the marble will complement or contrast with other elements. For example, a white Carrara marble table can create a timeless and elegant look, a Grigio Billiemi table can create a warm and luxurious touch, while a Calacatta Viola can create a more expressive look.

3. Pattern

Marble is a natural material created by nature. Therefore no marble products will have the same pattern. There can sometimes be quite big differences in the pattern and color from slab to slab. A general rule is that more simple marble patterns such as Carrara does not vary as much as more expressive marble types such as Arabescato. 

4. Price

The different marble types differ in price. When selecting marble for your furniture, consider your budget and how much you're willing to invest in a high-quality and long-lasting piece. Keep in mind that some types of marble may be more expensive than others, and that customization options such as edging, sizing, and finish can also affect the final cost. Here is a guiding list ranged from less expensive to more expensive.
