Eye-Catching Red Marbles to Decorate your Home

Red marble has been used in Italy since the 2nd century BC. During Roman times, it was primarily utilized for architectural features such as columns, stairways, cladding, and sculptures. From North to South, Italy is rich with ancient monuments, ornaments, and flooring made of red marble, most of which are hidden in churches, cathedrals, and noble palaces.

In Tuscany, near Lucca, you can find a specific variety of red marble called Collemandina. This deep red marble is renowned for its distinctive elegance, featuring a homogeneous color with subtle grey veins scattered throughout. In the province of Genoa, Liguria, the Levanto variety is found. Known for its dark red hue, this marble stands out due to its striking, thick interweaving of glossy white veins. Orobic Arabesque, extracted in the province of Bergamo, Lombardy, is unique for its color variations, ranging from burgundy to pale red, interwoven with grey and white veins. These are just a few examples of the many beautiful types of red marble found across Italy.
Today, these refined stones are highly popular in interior design, often chosen for flooring, countertops, tables, bathtubs, and vases. One timeless trend is the pairing of red and white. While the Romans favored combining white capitals with red columns, modern designers are drawn to creating red-and-white checkered marble flooring. Another popular combination, especially for dining tables, is red marble surfaces paired with metal accents.
