Marble Tile Patterns & Shapes
Marble is classically used in the form of slabs or traditional square and rectangle tiles, but unexpected marble tile patterns and shapes are a great way to give your kitchen or bathroom a timeless yet contemporary look. CS-Deep Blue offers a range of patterns and designs featuring its cool blue-grey hues. Hex, lotus, chevron, herringbone and other styles give this beautiful marble extra personality and a modern touch.
Grey Marble
Make an impact and stand out with the striking Bardiglio, an elegant and dramatic marble in shades of grey. Available in both honed and polished finishes, this grey marble variety features sweeping veins that look beautiful in large format tile as well as intricate designs like herringbone. For a modern kitchen or bathroom, grey is a great alternative to white marble if you’re looking to add a little more tone and contrast.
Black Marble
If you’re not afraid to go bold, go for black marble! Stunning, deep and rich, black marble tile like Negro Maquina is an eye-catching choice for a backsplash, fireplace surround or other installation that’s sure to be the star of the room. Black tile complements virtually any color palette and décor style, and creates a unique centerpiece full of drama and natural beauty.
Earth Tone Marble
In addition to white, grey and black, some marble has natural, earthy colors in it, such as tan, brown and beige. Fantasy Brown Satin tile features shades of cool brown paired with grey accents, for a unique marble look that pairs well with a subtle, chic color palette of cream, greige and taupe. Its satin finish gives it a softer appearance for a more natural aesthetic. Spanish Grey is another earthy option with a color and quality similar to limestone.

“We needed to select granite for our kitchen upgrade. I was given a hard hat and a clipboard and as encouraged to take photos as I wondered around the showroom and warehouse. I selected like 12 different types, and they were nice enough to give me samples of all of them!”
