It is easy to indulge your home with black marble floor tiles. For decades now black marble has been synonymous with luxury in both residential and commercial design.

One of the reasons black marble is so sought after is for its richness. Black marble tiles are used frequently on the floor. However, slabs of black marble also have their place in furniture design, kitchen worktops, and even decorative wall paneling – if you have solid walls that will hold up.

Even though we use the term “black marble” as singular, we are of course referring to the full array of colors: black and white, black and brown, black and grey, and even black and gold.

What is Black Marble?

Black marble is simply a black iteration of the natural stone, which is quarried in abundance. Over the years lighter marble, like white, beige, and grey, has been at the top of the agenda for interior designers, but that’s now changing.

Black marble stone is just as hard and therefore durable as marble of any other color – the name simply comes to aesthetics only.

Where is Black Marble Found?

Like most marble, black marble is quarried the world over. It has been found in the UK and the USA, as well as China, Turkey, and Iran.

There are some instances in which black marble isn’t exactly what it says it is. For example, Ashford Black Marble is in fact dark limestone that is cut, polished, and, in turn, made to look like marble. However, that’s unlikely to be a concern of yours when shopping for marble as Ashford Black Marble is only mined in Derbyshire, England.

Using Black Marble As Floor Tiles

As aforementioned, you can use black marble can on your floors, walls, and surfaces. In particularly exuberant properties, the homeowner may opt for an all-marble bathroom, for example. However, more often than not, marble is used as a focal point, to accentuate a certain element of a room. For instance, black marble fireplaces are very popular in contemporary properties with chimneys, like townhouses.

A note from our designer

What I really love about marble tiles, and black marble, in particular, is that this natural stone doesn’t require grout lines – unless you want them of course. This means you can lay marble throughout your property and it will almost appear as a single slab, which is something you just don’t get with any other stone.

That’s what makes marble so great for seamless, ultra-modern interiors. Although, remember, if you want to put marble on your walls, you need to consult with your builder as marble is incredibly heavy and can cause severe damage to a property if it is not installed correctly.
