• Varied design opportunities and impacts
• Designing marble bathrooms with Duravit’s bathroom ranges
Few other materials embody classic aesthetics and exclusivity as consummately as marble. The natural marbling of the stone has been inspiring artists for centuries and its unique texture and luxurious appearance is still striking today. The material’s unique aesthetic can be used as a design element in the bathroom either in its original form or integrated into a contemporary aesthetic. Being water-resistant and easy to clean, high-quality porcelain-stoneware alternatives not only offer aesthetic benefits, but also practical ones. A marble-effect bathroom can exude modern exclusivity while still being affordable.
Duravit offers a wide range of elegant solutions and high-quality products for integrating marble into the bathroom as a stylish and functional design element.
Stylish deployment capabilities and design options
Whether as extensive wall paneling, floor covering, high-end washbasin consoles, or subtle accents – marble can be used in a variety of settings to realize both timeless and contemporary bathroom concepts. The Aurena bathroom range, part of the Artisan Lines, matches perfectly with marble and creates a luxurious ambience with high-quality surfaces including textured wood, marble-effect ceramic slabs, black-lacquered glass, or brushed stainless steel.
A particular highlight of a bathroom design incorporating genuine marble is the solid stone console from the Qatego range, which is made from Carrara marble and unites functional elements with a high-end character.
The square shape of the DuraSquare range and the elegant metal frames of the furniture consoles set subtle accents and perfectly complement the marble elements. The combination of minimalistic design language and the choice of high-quality materials generate a contemporary overall look.
The diversity of marble types
Yet not all marble is the same – the diversity of marble types ranges from light, almost flawless stone through to dark or even colored variants. Any bathroom can be an artwork in its own right. The choice of suitable marble types or appearances depends not only on personal preferences, but also the desired effect of the room. White marble exudes elegance and clarity, while beige marble has a calm, warm effect. Grey marble conveys a natural, stone-like charm, green marble a natural freshness, and black marble an elegant sense of drama.
