How Much Marble is too much ?

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

We are in the process of upgrading our small family bathroom to a shower room. Choosing the tiles is proving a chore and we don't seem to be able to agree the best way to 'future proof' (as best we can). I like the idea of a white marble or marble porcelain tiles, the other option being a quite safe plain porcelain tile. Is marble of the now; will it look fuddy duddy in a few years or is it a timeless classic? Any advice would be greatly received, bathroom being ripped out this week!

How much is too much for a side-return extension?
Q

Hi Martin, it wasn't full wrap-around. We extended 6sqm into the side, and then just added 0.6m to the entire length at the back. We retain one of the side walls to try to save money. However, in the end we went with someone recommended by a friend and it was a disaster as he under-quoted to get the job. In the end we spent nearly £65 including £3.5K on higher-spec flooring and £16K on a higher-spec kitchen. So, doing the maths, I'd say £47K was about right for the rest of the work minus kitchen and flooring. Hope that helps!

Are cage lights in the entrance hall too much?

I think the black and white scheme looks really striking against the tile floor. Is it particularly the cage lights that are trendy at them moment that you like or is it the industrial trend generally that you'd like to incorporate? Maybe there's something with a more 1930's industrial feel that would sit well against the period features? Or alternately just go for it but the more modern the better if wanting to juxtapose old and new. Nothing to subtle - big and bold cage style light could work. You could have one made up with 1930's style Bakelite fittings with a gorgeous coloured cord to pick up the red in the tiles. There are many companies that supply these fittings or you might find something suitable on Etsy. Good luck with your project :-)

Hello - I am moving to a new build house next year and would absolutely love a marble work top - does anyone have a rough idea of cost per metre? I'm hoping to have a kitchen on just one wall with an island opposite. Thanks lots!

Timeless classic! You can never have enough marble, provided you keep the rest of the bathroom fittings minimalist and clear, i.e. more sleek stainless steal than fussy gold ornamental ones. The full on floor to ceiling marble bathrooms I have seen have kept all other items very simple so to enhance the marble as it's pretty imposing on it's own.

Marble is definitely a timeless stone. You can also get beautiful marble panels which look beautiful in comparison to tiles.
