6 Reasons to Choose Green Marble
Green marble stone is adept at infusing charm, colour and style in any area
We are all used to white marble taking over our kitchens (countertops), bathrooms (sink and vanity area) and even the living rooms (murals, tabletops, and so on). However, have you ever considered experimenting with the other coloured types of marble? For a more memorable looking interior, consider green marble stone. Here are spaces that were enhanced with this magical marble.
2. Green marble stone is long-lasting and brings instant style into a space. Here, the emerald-green hue on the countertop looks elegant, especially when offset by the brown cabinets and door.
Tip: Granite and marble may have a lot of properties in common (they are both heat-resistant and durable) but there are a few features that set them apart – granite is harder than marble, so more resistant to chipping and scratches. Granite is also a bit cheaper than marble.

3. Not only does green marble look like a striking addition to this kitchen, it also adds a functional value to the space. The material is great for hot areas – so no matter how much cooking, heating and reheating happens in the cook room, making the space sultry, the marble’s surface stays cool. The stone is also strong and heat-resistant.
Tip: While marble is a strong material, it is porous, which means it soaks up liquids. So, oil, wine, juice and other spills can penetrate its surface and leave a stain. This is why marble needs to be sealed year after year.

4. Green marble stone is versatile and has a wide number of uses. Since it is a durable, long-lasting material, it can be used for flooring, counters and even built-in seating. In this bathroom, the cream space gets a lift with the sprinkling of green all around.
