There is a distinct allure to using natural stone and marble as part of your luxury interior design, but it has become particularly popular in recent years to incorporate the polished veiny stone to create a sophisticated office environment.
Part of the reason is simply that marble is beautiful and has been associated with elegance since time immemorial, but it also has particular practical and even financial benefits associated with professional use.
Marble, granite and polished stone are typically seen as providing a premium luxury, something that often conveys success to clients, employees and high-ranking directors alike, which can translate to greater financial success, productive discourse and wider success.
This is often why marble is commonly used for reception areas in order to provide the most powerful first impression possible; marble shows a company invests in themselves and thus will invest in their clients, customers and employees.
However, despite this luxurious style, marble is also remarkably practical as long as it is carefully taken care of.
Regularly sealing the surface, using a pH-neutral cleaner designed for marble and using protective furniture mats and carpets to minimise footwear scuffs and mute the sounds of footsteps can maintain a beautiful aesthetic for decades.
Alongside this, there are a lot of different types of marble available, from traditional white, darker charcoal shades and almost every colour in between. This means that you can use marble to subtly evoke your brand without relying on more synthetic materials such as carpeting.
Ultimately, many building owners have considered incorporating marble into their office design, and whilst there is a romanticism involved with furnishing your office with marble floors, desks and wall features, there is a financial and practical case to using them as well.
As long as you seek the advice of flooring and stonework experts, have an overall vision for the office’s look and make sure to take care of the material, marble could be perfect for you.
