Marble sitting rooms
How do I design my living room?
Furnishing and choosing materials for a living room is never easy: it’s a space rich in potential solutions and multiple personalities, where an inappropriate choice can compromise the overall harmony, which, as we know, is constantly in balance.
In construction, marble is the noble material par excellence. Steeped in history, it has the ability to always be different (no two marble slabs are the same): in homes and living rooms, it has recently rediscovered its most beautiful dimension, thanks also to the design of our products that make it contemporary and “light.”
From traditional to modern, marble is a limestone rock that can embrace styles like no other. So, regardless of whether your tastes are modern or more classic, choosing marble in your living room will give it a touch that will distinguish it from a thousand others, making it more rich and prestigious.
Once you’ve decided to use a natural material, and marble in particular, you’ll need to choose the type of marble based on its texture and color.
It can be used on the floors and baseboards of your marble living room, as a possible vertical cladding for certain surfaces, but also on stairs or other elements that characterize the living room, such as fireplaces.
In particularly “important” cases, marble columns could also be created.

MARBLE COVERINGS AND FLOORS
Marble has been a popular building material for millennia, prized for its beauty and style. It has adorned the palaces of kings and queens for centuries, making it an essential luxury interior design option.
The process of simplification and pursuit of cleanliness that contemporary architecture imposes on all formal choices in construction also finds its counterpart in the choices of interior and exterior finishes.
While maintaining its aura of value, richness, and prestige, marble is always used in keeping with the stylistic features of modern architecture.
In a marble living room, flooring should focus on solid, light-colored stones with veining that can characterize a space.
Contrasting colors between light and dark marbles, or plays of color, are always highly fashionable in a prestigious living room.
At the same time, marble is available in multiple colors and even stunning multicolored combinations, offering flexible options for a variety of decorative schemes: tiles can also be cut into rectangles or slabs of various sizes to create complex mosaic installations.
Choosing the size of the pieces that will make up the living room marble floor is the second fundamental decision to make: obviously, the larger the pieces and the more tailored to the specific dimensions of the space to be paved, the more prestigious and opulent the result will be.
Even choosing “standard”-size floors will give the finished space a touch of class and luxury that no other material can match.
Marble strips, strips, and small pieces, often in contrasting colors, enrich the final result.
Marble is also an excellent heat conductor, making it suitable for a variety of radiant heating systems.

MARBLE FIREPLACES
A fireplace is always ready to offer your guests a warm welcome.
Nothing makes a room more welcoming than a fireplace: whether modern, traditional, rustic, or a completely different style, a living room with a fireplace always seems more welcoming than one without one.
A marble fireplace in your living room will add elegance and a sense of refinement unlike any other material.
A fireplace can be built entirely of masonry, using traditional construction methods, or using prefabricated fireplaces, some of which are highly technological for optimal use of the heat generated by combustion.

It’s just a matter of deciding which pieces are needed based on the project: more structured and solid for traditional fireplaces, more finishing and cladding for prefabricated fireplaces.

CHOOSE A MARBLE STAIRCASE FOR YOUR INTERIOR
You’ve probably paid close attention to the color of your living room walls and spent hours choosing your kitchen countertops, but have you ever thought about your stairs?
If you think of your stairs as simply a means of accessing one floor to another, you’re missing out on a great interior design opportunity.
In many homes, the staircase is one of the first things people see when they walk through the front door, so why not make it eye-catching and luxurious by choosing a marble staircase? Sometimes glamour is all in the details.
Interior marble staircases convey strength and lend a solid, exclusive character. At Pietre di Rapolano, we love designing marble staircases for offices, public spaces, restaurants, and even private homes: they can be open, spiral, or helical staircases; we never limit your creativity.
A marble staircase can have different shapes and sizes depending on the situation. Making the most of your space may require a non-standard design: we’ll be happy to help, working directly with you or collaborating with your trusted architect, to create custom marble stairs that will leave you breathless.
A marble staircase must be well-designed for proper installation. Surveying the rough work and measuring the height differences are crucial steps to using marble effectively and worry-free. For this reason, during this delicate phase of marble creation, Pietre di Rapolano will guide you every step of the way: we’ll perform on-site surveys, prepare working drawings for cutting, and provide installation assistance if necessary.
A marble staircase is a prestigious achievement, and every step from the block of marble to the finished work requires the utmost attention and professionalism.
For all the marble elements in your living room, Pietre di Rapolano and its technicians are available to provide advice, drawings, and suggestions.
