THE MARBLE TREND IN HOME DECOR
The 'Pour Painting' popularity matches and coincides with the trend in marbling and geodes. Throughout so much of history, marble as been used as a tough, yet decorative rock in everything from building structures to decorative accents. If you look in almost any store, the marble look is on everything from clothing and accessories, to home decor, stationary, business cards, website layouts, and more!
*Here’s a little info on the history of marble and have we’ve used it from Ancient Rome and Greece to present day:
Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Marble is typically not foliated, although there are exceptions. In geology, the term "marble" refers to metamorphosed limestone, but its use in stonemasonry more broadly encompasses unmetamorphosed limestone. It is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material.
Marble is one of the oldest and most beautiful stones available on the market for countertops. It’s a metamorphic stone that is a result of limestone being subjected to immense amount of pressure for long periods of time. Marble’s popularity began in ancient Rome and Greece, where white and off-white marble was used to construct a variety of structures, from hand-held sculptures to massive pillars
The Greeks and Romans chose marble for their structures due its beauty. However, the process of mining marble was quite lengthy. Hammers and wedges were used to release marble from the earth. It was then pulled from its source with the help of pulleys, winches, levers, and wooden beams.
Aside from statues and buildings, colored marble was used to create beautiful tile flooring. The color of marble varies due to different minerals that are present in the stone. For example, pure calcite marble is white. Red marble gets its tone from hematite, and limonite gives marble a green or yellow tone.
Even though Ancient Grecian and Roman times were over 2,000 years ago, most cultures still appreciate marble in present day. Today, marble is used for a variety of structural and aesthetic purposes. Marble is included in the making of modern buildings, places of worship, floors, walls, and of course—countertops.
This texture has started to pop up in everything from fashion to interior design pieces, lately. Take notice of all of the places that this classic look can be seen, these days; Chances are that you'll begin to notice it everywhere as it adds a layer of richness and depth to everything it touches.
