Book Matched Marble

Book matched marble is a luxurious statement whether it be in a grand master bathroom, a swanky hotel bar or a stunning contemporary fireplace.  The designs in the natural stone create beautiful patterns when book matched and each holds unique qualities of its own.  The dramatic black and white book matched marble back drop in this bathroom pairs perfectly with the gold chandelier for a glamorous look.

One of the most popular places that we see book matched marble lately is in the bathroom.  A phenomenal statement can be made in a walk-in shower or as a back drop to a free-standing tub.  This example shows a large rectangular niche for bath products.  The pattern runs all the way through the cut out and aligns perfectly without interrupting the veining in the marble.

A very funky and glamorous example of book matched marble is shown here at this master sink vanity.  More is more with this design.  The warm, caramel colored marble vanity wall ties into the mosaic marble floor.

The warmth and clarity in the design of the book matched marble slabs makes this contemporary fireplace the star of the room.  The rich, chocolate brown accent wall behind it and white bricks bring texture and depth to the space.

A fantastic piece of iconic architecture, the Barcelona Pavilion by Mies van der Rohe, showcases book matched marble ahead of its time.  The rose and rusty colored stone create the most beautiful contrast from the cool blue stone wall in the background.
