Marble Columns in Home Design

Marble columns stemmed from ancient Europe, but you don’t have to live in the past to bring these beautiful structures to life in your home. Using marble columns in home design is a sleek trend that brings a royal ambiance to any space.

Using columns in your home doesn’t have to be gaudy or overpowering. There are simple tricks to make columns look regal and modern. Our newest blog post is showing off our favorite tips for using marble columns in home design and making your home feel like your personal palace.

Creating a Grandiose Atmosphere                                                     

Using columns as an architectural feature has endless possibilities. For example, properly structuring marble columns in home design is a great way to create a grand atmosphere. Place two marble columns on either side of your entryway (pictured above) to create height and dimension to your space.

Designate Open Concept Space with Marble Columns

One of the classic designs for marble columns is to make them a part of your walls. You will often see this when two marble columns create an archway in the home. This gives your home a fantastically European atmosphere with rounded entryways and strong columns. Columns are a great choice for those with open-concept living, since it will help designate space without creating a solid wall. For example, placing four marble columns around the kitchen space in an open concept home will help designate an eating area.

Bold and Understated – The choice is yours

Many think that using marble columns in home design automatically means making a bold statement in your home. This isn’t always the case. Using small marble columns by closets, entryways, or in an expansive living room actually fills space.

You can vary the level of boldness that your columns bring out by the marble that you choose. For example, using the Moda White marble gives an ambiance of elegance that is understated due to its smooth design, whereas choosing a marble like the boldly veined Calacatta will create a true focal piece that will steal the show.

Styling a space using marble columns in home design creates a sophisticated, stylish look. Creating a plan for how you would like to use marble in your home will ensure that you will appreciate the grace and beauty your columns bring for years to come.
