Their beauty remains intact and it is no wonder that even today it is the one of the most popular natural stones to be used for both residential as well as commercial purposes. From the topmost hotels to the discerning house-proud owners, marble slabs are the choice for every interior designing need. Marble exudes sophistication and an ambience of royalty which is hard to beat. Marble slabs are continuously being utilized in innovative ways for decorative as well as utilitarian purposes and it works wonderfully either way. It is the surest way of adding value to your home.

Marble tiles are commonly used in floorings, furniture, fireplaces, stairs, wall cladding and they also add a touch of luxury in kitchens. Slabs of marble are very commonly used as countertops in kitchens and these are available in many colours. Marble is a popular choice for kitchens because it is hard material, heat resistant and does not require much maintenance. Natural marble is also resistant to mould and mildew. Since marble is a cool stone, its surface is ideal for rolling out pastry, pie dough and other baking-related products. This becomes especially useful in commercial kitchens or in homes where there is lots of baking done. Marble sinks add beauty to even ordinary kitchens.

Bathrooms are another area where marble tiles are used extensively. From entire walls and floors being tiled in marble to simply having only marble bathtubs, shower cubicles or washbasins and vanities, marble makes any bathroom look royal.

The world of art is also not untouched by marble as it is the favourite stone used to sculpt statues as is historically evident by the numerous works of the famous Michelangelo. Marble comes in many types, colours and surfaces and can be used to create different types of looks. Although the beauty of pure white marble is unsurpassed, coloured marble with its various veins and swirls also look very attractive. Marble can be designed in unique ways and no one design can be absolutely replicated as each marble slab imparts its own characteristics to the design. 

Marble slabs lend an aura of elegance and class which is difficult to obtain from other stones and any home or commercial enterprise tiled with marble is always looked upon with respect.
