Marble, Onyx, Concrete in Interior Design: 15 Trendy Ideas

Designers love marble, onyx, and concrete for their natural look and unique texture, often using them in their projects. How can you integrate these fashionable materials into your interior? Together with the Design and Interior Center "Expobuild on Nakhimovskiy", we have selected examples of combinations and stylish, vibrant pieces.

"Weightless" Marble
Seamlessness, minimal thickness, and visual lightness are the main requirements for marble finishing and pieces today. Take a look at Imperial and Vallelunga Argenta tiles or the Eichholtz Cube Link table—these meet all criteria.Design: Victoria Zolina (ZI-DESIGN)
Marble + Warm Metals
Adjacent to gold, copper, brass, or bronze, cold marble looks softer. In addition, the combination of marble and warm metals, such as in the Moa table lamp, is a current trend of this year.

Onyx as an Accent

Onyx and its related mineral, agate, have a rich color palette and varied textures. These materials are unlikely to go unnoticed in interiors, so they should be introduced with moderation. Remember that the more vivid and complex the pattern, the smaller its presence should be in the overall decor.

Try incorporating onyx or agate into your interior through accessories like the Gem table lamp and finishes featuring slices of these minerals, such as Jade mosaic. Vallelunga Argenta

Onyx + Glow

Another interesting property of onyx is its ability to transmit light and glow beautifully from within. Install a panel or wall fragment made of this material near a window, or consider artificial lighting. This design solution is ideal for monochromatic interiors.

Concrete + Wood + Textured Textiles
In an environment of natural materials with pronounced texture, concrete appears softer and more expressive. Do you look at wall coverings imitating concrete walls with interest and caution, like the Italreflexes Oxid wallpapers? You can make a cozy room with such wallpaper by using textiles or furniture with pleasant-to-the-touch upholstery made from linen, cotton, or wool, like the London corner sofa.
Concrete + Black Color

Black can beautifully highlight textured concrete surfaces. Floors finished with materials resembling concrete, such as CADENZA BASALT LAPPATO ceramic granite, will look striking next to black matte items. The combination with glossy black makes concrete more refined.
