Large-Format Marble Slabs Take Center Stage

Gone are the days of small marble tiles. Today's luxury properties are embracing dramatic, oversized marble slabs that create stunning visual impact while minimizing grout lines. The Dorchester's recent renovation exemplifies this trend, featuring floor-to-ceiling Calacatta Gold marble panels in their guest suites, creating an seamless, opulent atmosphere.

In luxury residential developments, such as the new Twenty Grosvenor Square, book-matched marble walls serve as natural artwork, with symmetrical veining patterns creating mirror-image designs that transform bathrooms and entrance halls into gallery-like spaces.
