Growing up I was always told by people and fashion magazines that mixing patterns is not good. Nowadays, however, mixed patterns (and textures) can be seen everywhere - it became a trend! So I started to think - what about interior design? Are mixed patterns okay there too? And what abour MARBLE? I mean, obviously marble is classic, majestic, and stylish by itself - its patterns are nature's imperfect perfection. Can you combine different marbles, though, in your home?
I, then, searched for pictures. I found some - not too much - that I thought looked extravagant, but still aesthetic (above). What do you think? Would you use these combinations?
What I came to realize was that it doesn't matter what kind of marble you mix - well, it does, but it's not that strict.
A. You can use contrasting marbles - blacks/whites and colours, lights and darks. It's possible that in this case, only one of the marbles will be in focus.
B. You can also use monochromes - three or more shades, from white, through greys, to black - which will complement each other perfectly.
I can imagine using both, but I really like the dramatic effect of the first option. I'd love to try and use a low-key white marble with a highly patterned green or brown!
