The main feature of marble-effect stoneware is to give the rooms a feeling of luxury and refinement, but it is necessary to know how to balance the play of light and the stylistic choices to find the right balance between tradition and modernity: the marble effect allows both to recall retro design, but it can also offer its own elegance for modern and contemporary environments: the use of mosaics or hexagonal shapes, together with the combination of different shades can help to give a touch of modernity to the environment.

The trends for the combination of marble-effect stoneware that are more fashionable, but which never fail to be also effective both from a stylistic and functional point of view, combine different effects on both floors and walls.

An impressive combination is that of marble-effect porcelain stoneware and wood-effect porcelain stoneware used together to identify the various areas of the house or even used together within the same room (stoneware for the kitchen, bathroom, living area) to design the various operational and use areas.
A similar function, but with a more contemporary design, is the use of the marble effect together with the concrete effect, to give "industrial chic" touches to the home.

Particularly suitable for the bathroom, but also for the kitchen, is the grit: a marble effect in vogue in the early '900 and in the' 60s and which can contribute to give a familiar and past mood to the room. This type is very "strong" from a decorative point of view and must therefore be used carefully so as not to generate too much dystonia between the environments: it can be used more easily in environments delimited by walls and doors, while it is more complex to insert in open spaces . For the latter, especially for the kitchen area, the graniglia marble effect can be dedicated to the splash guard of the kitchen, for example, so as to define a work area with both aesthetics and functionality.

To choose the dominant colors of the marble effect, the following must be considered: size of the rooms, style of the house, furnishings.
Large and spacious rooms allow you to dare with very dark shades and colors of the marble effect and with important veins, able to give elegance and luxury to the rooms.
White marble goes perfectly with modern homes, especially when combined with materials such as glass or steel and in the case that the furniture is modern in style.
The beige marble effect, on the other hand, is ideal in the case of rooms furnished with classic style furniture, in dark wood or with warm shades.
The antique wooden furniture evokes floors decorated with geometric designs, those with a retro and decò style with patterns such as black and white rhombuses.

Then there are marble effects with more particular colors, such as pink and orange: these are combined with classic environments, made with wood or wood effect.
Normally the marble effect is not chosen for floors and walls in bedrooms: in fact, we tend to believe that it can give a too cold aspect to an environment like this, but it is also true that if you want to give a strong luxurious accent to the house , these are the rooms that most impress visitors with the marble effect.
