Marble is so elegant, you may be wondering how you’re supposed to decorate around it. What colors will complement Carrara marble?

Carrara marble is the perfect slab to decorate with. Counters, floors, and bathroom tiling are accentuated with the small, beautiful linear veining of Carrara marble.

There are many complementary colors to choose from when styling your room around Carrara marble. Here are some of our top color picks for a beautiful room.

White on White

Decorating white on white is a hot trend that is going strong in 2017. All-white kitchens are a classic choice when decorating with marble. This effect leaves a stunning room full of class and elegance. Just bear in mind that most marble contains colored undertones such as gray, green, or purple. Bring plenty of paint swatches home when painting your walls or cabinets and find one that compliments the undertone of your marble.

Grey Tones

Grey tones in your cabinets or wall colors will pair perfectly with Carrara marble since Carrara naturally contains these undertones. Going dark grey will make your marble pop while choosing softer, lighter shades will give your space a chic and classic feel. Just make sure whatever grey color you choose will complement the beautiful veining found in Carrara marble.

Greige is another great choice if you want to bring out the warmth in your marble. Greige is a classic and trending combination of gray and beige colors. This color gives your space a warm, inviting look.

Bold and Dramatic Colors

Looking for a more adventurous color to decorate with? Try deep blue hues when decorating with Carrara marble. Navy and ocean blue colors are both excellent choices for bold decorating. These darker shades look rich against Carrara and bring out the natural veining in the marble.

Don’t fret that your room will look smaller if you choose a darker color to match with your marble. So long as you have white accents and natural light in the room along with your marble base, these dark colors will pop.

Sage Green

Sage green is a beautiful color to pair with marble. This green/gray color allows the Carrara marble to pop against the color all while complimenting the marble’s natural undertones. Choosing earthy greens and watercolors such as aqua are great for pairing with Carrara marble. These shades are timeless, just like Carrara.

Contemporary, classic, or country – No matter what your personal style, there are plenty of colors that compliment Carrara marble to choose from. Have fun and happy decorating. Have some decor ideas of your own? Share with us @marmolexportusa.
