Marble bathrooms to be inspired by

One and the same stone can have so many different expressions. Here are four bathrooms that use marble in interesting and inspiring ways.

Simple and elegant

It is the details that make this bathroom. From the fine shelf in the shower to the recessed mirror cabinet on the wall, and the way the simple washbasin appears to rest on the marble slab. Everything is done with great elegance. The marble chosen for the bathroom is our Kolmården marble diamond milled, and it was designed by the interior architect Rebecka Haymoz for a customer in Västerås. The wall behind the shower is painted. Whether that is possible in your own bathroom depends on which waterproofing layer and which membrane are approved under the current industry regulations — ask your tiler.

Lively and calm

Having a marble with lively veining on both floor and walls can become too much if the details are not exactly right. In these bathrooms, designed by the Australian architecture practice Coy Yiontis, every detail is carefully considered to bring harmony to the rooms. Note the fall towards the floor drain in the shower, for example – a clever way of using the same tile size on both walls and floor. Another important detail is the recessed shelf that forms a niche in the wall. All of it contributes to the solid, undisturbed feeling.

Rustic and snug

A marble bathroom can take on very different expressions depending on the type of marble, of course, but also on the other materials chosen. This bathroom, dressed in light Ekeberg marble, is elegant, rustic and minimalist all at once. The brass, the old timber ceiling and the grain and veining of the marble. The details are very well judged, and the different materials and colours melt together in a remarkably beautiful and self-evident way. The bathroom is in the home of Therese Malmkvist and Magnus Hultberg, who are converting a former barn into a home for their family and whose work you can follow and be inspired by on the blog Nu bygger vi om en lada.

Close to nature

A bathroom dressed entirely in honed Kolmården marble from floor to ceiling, without feeling in the least overwhelming. The bath is elegantly recessed with a fixed front in marble, and the pine window frames play beautifully against the green Kolmården marble. You get the feeling of being out in the middle of nature in this remarkable bathroom, designed by the architect Max Holst for a house in Brunn, Ingarö.
