Since the time of Ancient Greece and Rome, marble has been one of the staples of luxury.
It was an integral part of royal palaces, Roman bathrooms, and major artistic statues. And though much had changed since then in regard to interior luxury, the allure of marble proved to be timeless.
1. Durable In Style And In Quality
You may be wondering what makes marble different from other materials.
It has been popular and expensive forever precisely because it’s durable, resistant to almost anything, and quite easy to clean.
With regular and simple care, your marble bathtub will last you for decades – looking as pristine as it did the first day.
2. Investing Into Timelessness
Aside from functional quality, with a marble bathtub you’re investing in something that endures no matter the everchanging trends.
Whether you have a classic, minimalist, industrial, or antique-inspired bathroom, a marble tub can easily be the centerpiece.
3. Elevate an Ordinary Bathroom
The simplest of bathrooms can easily become posh and stylish with the help of a marble bathtub.
Gracing your ordinary white bathroom with a marble centerpiece may be all it takes to achieve a stylish transformation.
4. Bathing In Art
You may as well consider your marble bathtub your very own artistic statue – especially if you invest in a genuine marble tub, carved out of a single block of this precious stone.
5. Go for a Strong Pattern
When marble comes to mind, many of us are quick to think of pristine whiteness with soft grayish and beige veins all over.
However, if the overall style of your bathroom calls for a stronger pattern, marble has you covered.
6. Purity In Pink
Much like the pattern, the color of a marble bathtub is optional. There are various colors and shades to choose from, among which the lovely pink in the above picture stood out to me.
It reminds me of Barbie, of purity and soft luxury.
7. Jade for a Touch of Mystery
Mysterious, yet peaceful is how I’d best describe the above marble bathtub.
The color green, especially in its dim, faded shades is inherently relaxing to us. A tub like this could turn every bath into a zen experience.
8. Modern Luxury Is Found in Dark Marble
Not as common as white marble, its black counterpart creates a negative effect on the interior.
It’s modern, sleek, and quite literally made to be the accent piece in the room.
9. If Subtlety Is Your Strong Suit…
If you’re aiming for subtle elegance, keep your marble surfaces bright and gentle.
The material can be included in all the elements of the bathroom, or only a chosen few.
10. If Not…
You may as well throw subtlety out of the window and turn your bathroom into a unique piece that resembles Delft pottery.
11. Partly Marble
Marble adds a touch of luxury anywhere, though as you can see, it isn’t suited solely for luxury bathrooms.
You may retain the country appeal of your bathroom and have yourself a marble tub.
12. Natural Stone
Marble can work wonderfully in rugged and rustic interiors if the hue and pattern are chosen carefully.
Opt for a grayish, darker marble tub to create an unfinished appeal in your own bathroom.
13. Vintage Haven
Marble tub was a staple of luxury in ancient and modern times, and those in between!
Look for carved details and warmer marble hues for an extra vintage touch.
14. Mix Your Marble(s)
Though it’s often used to achieve an effortlessly classy, expensive look, you’re welcome to mix & match your marble all you want.
A neutral beige background is a great canvas for any combination, especially if you’ll go for earthy tones like in the above picture.
15. Marble With Other Luxury Elements
Combine thick wooden panels with marble, but keep the color in mind!
Match your wooden surface with the right marble shade for the optimal result.
16. Utilize Lights
Use cleverly placed LED lights to make your marble bathtub look like a Himalayan salt lamp.
It will create a surreal ambiance in your bathroom and make every bath a healing experience.
17. Marble Tiles
For a more traditional look of the bathroom, opt for marble tiles instead of a full marble wall and bathtub.
This solution is simple and pretty and it’s a budget-friendly way to include marble in your bathroom’s design.
18. Cracks & Rust
If you prefer your bathroom more on the industrial side, marble has you covered.
Simply opt for a pattern that fits the theme you’re going for.
19. Use Your Marble Tub to Create Contrast
The cheeky pastel table, sleek marble bathtub, and the strong gold hardware all seem to be leading separate lives.
However, you have to admit it works.
Add strong details and decor to your minimalist marble tub to create a similarly lovely contrast.
20. Make Waves
The original poster described the above marble pattern in the most accurate way, calling it dynamic and alive.
It dominates the bathroom and creates a wonderful frame for the bathtub.
21. Partly Marble
There are variations when it comes to how much of your marble bathtub will be made up of, you know, marble.
If a carved-out chunk of marble is too pricey or too even for you, you could always make the inside a classic ceramic tub, and the frame a dynamic marble.
22. Connect a Marble Tub With a Marble Shower
Create a harmonious and custom-made bathroom space by having your bathtub and shower made out of a single marble piece.
It’s an expensive, but certainly a quick way to achieve luxury in your bathroom.
23. ArtDeco Accent
Introduce geometry and angles into the design of your bathroom to create an Art Deco look.
Pair it with a marble bathtub, and you’ve got a space of pure modern luxury on your hands.
24. Breaking the Pattern
Is an all-marble bathroom too much for you?
In that case, keep your marble bathtub, but introduce wood accents into the rest of the bathroom elements.
25. Crystal Vibes
The specific charm of marble is the natural, from-the-earth appeal that the stone carries.
A bathtub made up of marble with the right pattern has the potential to look like a healing crystal.
Combine it with a boho or japandi bathroom, and you’ve got your very own spa.
26. The Marble Bathtub
If you must choose to have a single element of your bathroom be made of marble, make sure it’s the bathtub.
Not only is the tub usually the biggest element in the bathroom, but it’s also its central piece, which ensures your marble investment will get the most attention.
In Conclusion
Yet another amazing plus side of investing in a marble bathtub is the overall value of the home.
If you ever happen to put up your house or flat for sale, the timelessly sophisticated bathtub does carry value and can help you bargain a higher price.
It’s considered a luxury feature in the housing market.
