In the world of custom furniture, few combinations speak of timeless elegance and sophistication quite like marble and wood. At our workshop, we specialize in blending the natural warmth of solid wood or veneered MDF with the cool, luxurious touch of marble — creating stunning, functional pieces for modern and classic interiors alike.
The Beauty of Marble in Custom Furniture
Whether it’s a sleek coffee table with a white Carrara marble top or a custom kitchen island featuring rich walnut wood and dramatic black Marquina marble, this fusion adds depth, contrast, and a sense of refined craftsmanship to any space.
Here are some of the ways we integrate marble into our custom pieces:
- Coffee Tables with marble tops and solid wood or veneered bases
- Dining and Kitchen Tables that combine wood structure with durable marble surfaces
- Kitchen Cabinetry and Countertops where marble adds a premium finish
- Bathroom Vanities that bring together water-resistant wood finishes and elegant stone tops
Types of Marble We Use
We work with a wide range of marble types, each offering its own color palette and veining patterns:
- Carrara Marble – Light gray with fine, subtle veining. A classic choice.
- Calacatta Marble – Bolder veining with a creamy background. Luxurious and dramatic.
- Nero Marquina – Deep black with striking white veins. Perfect for modern contrasts.
- Emperador Marble – Rich brown tones with light veins. Warm and earthy.
Each type can be paired with different woods for striking contrasts or gentle harmonies, such as oak, walnut, ash, or veneered MDF panels.
Combining Marble and Wood: A Play of Texture and Tone
Pairing wood with marble isn’t just about contrast — it’s about balance. Marble’s sleek, cool surface complements the grain, color, and organic texture of wood. Light marbles like Carrara pair beautifully with darker woods like walnut, while bold marbles such as Nero Marquina can make a powerful statement when combined with lighter ash or oak.
Caring for Marble Surfaces
Marble is a beautiful but porous material that requires a bit of care to keep its elegance intact.
Daily Cleaning Tips:
- Use a soft cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner or warm water.
- Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners (no vinegar, lemon juice, or bleach).
- Wipe spills (especially wine, coffee, citrus) immediately to prevent staining.
Polishing & Maintenance:
- Apply a marble polish or stone sealer every 6–12 months to protect the surface.
- Use coasters and placemats to prevent etching and scratching.
- For stubborn stains, use a specialized marble poultice or consult a professional.
Important: Never use abrasive sponges or scouring pads. Marble is softer than granite and can scratch more easily.
