Marble has always been associated with luxury and timeless elegance. It is a classic design choice that can also be transitional or even very contemporary, depending on the marble look you choose. Its versatility makes marble look a design choice that leaves very little room for a mistake.
When someone thinks of marble, white marble is often the first image that comes to mind. But natural marble exists in many different colors. With porcelain tile, the possibilities go even further—a marble look can be created in virtually any color while still keeping the veining and movement associated with marble.
Calacatta is a natural Italian marble known for its white background and distinctive veining. The veining is not necessarily beige, but Calacatta Gold, with its warmer beige and gold tones, is the variation many people recognize most easily. Because of that, in the porcelain tile industry, Calacatta is often used more broadly to describe white marble-look porcelain with a combination of grey and beige veining.
Carrara is probably the most widely recognized Italian marble name and is generally associated with grey veining over a greyish background. Traditional Carrara marble, which can still be found in many homes in the form of window sills, is not as white as Calacatta marble. Statuary Marble (Statuario), on the other hand, is the style that most people are looking for when shopping for a marble look tile.
