14 Marvelous Marble Tile Bathroom Ideas

From crisp white to jet black, marble tile comes in a range of naturally rich colors. If you’re dreaming of a luxurious and beautiful bathroom, these fourteen marvelous marble tile ideas are sure to spark inspiration.

1. Embrace a Marble Collection

Our stone collections include a wealth of tile sizes, shapes and trim pieces so you can get an refined all-over marble look. This elegant bathroom features Calacata Evora marble throughout. The effect is a splendid space that will make your daily bathroom routine feel like a trip to the spa.

2. Mix Marble with Travertine

Mixing marble with other natural stone, such as travertine, is an excellent way to add visual texture to your space. This beautiful bathroom features a combination of Arctic White marble and Claros Silver travertine. The expressive details and veining inherent to the natural stone add to the richness of this space that integrates elements of “traditional” and “contemporary” design.

3. Add Elegance with a Waterjet Mosaic

High-powered water jets are used to create intricate, curved designs in marble resulting in these gorgeous mosaics. The Havana with White Nacre Stone tile shown here features gorgeous grey marble with mother-of-pearl floral details for a feminine and highly decorative look. Perfect either alone or paired with a matching marble tile, a waterjet mosaic tile will add charm and grace to your space.

4. Add Drama with Rich Veining

The expressive veining of the Macchia Vecchia tile used in this grand bathroom, designed by Nikki Chu, creates dramatic movement throughout this space. Though this tile is marble-look porcelain, the multiple tile faces provide variation, giving it a realistic appearance. The porcelain tile is paired with the Calacata Evora marble floor for a richly opulent space. For more of Nikki Chu’s fashion-forward room designs, check out this home tour.

13. Showcase Your Favorite Marble in a Shower Niche

If all-over marble isn’t your style (or isn’t in your budget), you can showcase a favorite tile in a smaller format by using it in a shower niche. The leaf-shaped Elia Polished by Alison Victoria tile, shown here, creates an elegant moment in this chic shower.
