Marble and wood in the bathroom. The perfect combination

Marble and wood in the bathroom. The perfect combination

When planning a bathroom, it is good to decide on the leading style in which we are going to arrange it. It should be a style in which we feel good, which allows us to rest and relax in the comfort of our home. Of course, we have many possibilities in this area, but reaching for proven patterns that are not boring at all is becoming increasingly popular. One of such solutions, combining classics and proven design trends, is combining two materials in bathrooms - marble and wood. This type of combination has been used in bathroom designs for years, and has recently experienced a strong comeback in design trends.

Marble and wood - rich design possibilities

Marble is considered a prestigious material, giving a slightly luxurious character to the rooms in which it is used. It can be found in many color varieties, which further increases its design possibilities. Thanks to its elegant form and many color variants, it finds stylistic application in various rooms - from corridors, through kitchens, to bathrooms. Its practical advantages - e.g. resistance to moisture or ease of cleaning - make it a material increasingly used in apartments. Not only marble walls and floors could be delightful. Small marble accents - such as countertops, shelves or decorations - can work just as well.

Wood, on the other hand, is a proven and timeless material that works great in many stylistic projects. It is a material that brings us closer to nature, makes us feel much cozier in the place where we have planned elements made of this raw material. The multitude of its forms, textures and colors gives a huge number of design possibilities. Unlike marble, it is a material associated with nature, simplicity, and returning to the roots. What is more, you do not have to use natural wood to achieve an interesting effect - just go for tiles imitating wood or wood-like tiles. This is a much smaller expense and the interior design will be just as stylish.

Advantages of marble in the bathroom

A bathroom with marble has many advantages, some of which are worth highlighting below:

  • interior design - marble introduces an exclusive and timeless character to the bathroom,
  • resistance - it is a material extremely resistant to moisture and damage, which makes it an ideal choice for the bathroom,
  • easiness to keep clean - the smooth surface makes it easy to clean and maintain;
  • a wide range of patterns and colors - various versions of marble allow you to adjust to the preferences and expectations of the end users of the interior,
  • versatility - marble combines well with various materials and finishes - it works well in interiors engaged in different styles.

Advantages of wood in the bathroom

The bathroom is a place where we like to spend time. The version equipped with wooden elements has many fans. There are many reasons:

  • cosy interior climate - wood introduces naturalness and warmth to the bathroom,
  • uniqueness - a variety of tile patterns, wood species and unique grain give the interior an individual style;
  • contrast and harmony - wood blends in perfectly not only with cool marble, but also with many colours,
  • matching to interior design styles - regardless of the chosen version of the arrangement, wood finds its place in any interior - whether on the wall, floor or as a material from which accessories or additions are made - it fits everywhere and either plays the main role or becomes an interesting background for other equipment.

Minimalism with a touch of luxury

Eclectic interior stylings are becoming increasingly popular, combining very luxurious elements with those that attract attention with their simplicity. The trend of combining marble with wood in bathrooms fits perfectly into these trends. By deciding to use these materials, we create a minimalistic, yet surprisingly luxurious interior, giving a sense of comfort and a solidly built space.

By combining white marble with dark wood, we create a cozy and warm place, but unconventional; by investing in black marble combined with elements of light wood, we create a space that looks luxurious.

However, moderation is very important when using this type of materials. Excessive marble can have a negative effect - creating an impression of opulence. This material can also overwhelm and emanate cold. In order to achieve the right styling effect, you should adjust the number of wooden elements accordingly and reach a compromise between these two materials. We can do this by investing in accessories, such as wooden baskets, soap and brush containers, or other decorations.
