Marble Countertop & Shower Design

QUESTION:

I have a shower that is tiled in our guest bathroom. I would like to put a marble countertop on the vanity. Can I mix the two if I keep it in the same color range? Thanks.

ANSWER:

Jill, if you are asking if tile in the shower and a solid slab marble countertop will work together from a design perspective, then... yes.

There's no rule that says once you use tile you have to use it everywhere. I'd imagine the floor is tile as well, so a marble slab countertop will help break up the "tile" pattern.

Certainly maintain some consistency with regard to the design theme and color scheme. The shower tiles and the countertop could match, but don't have to although they should at least complement.

One thing to be careful of is getting to many different patterns. Patterns do not blend or mix and match as well as colors.

Bathrooms are typically a small space, so keep to simple and serene patterns.

Good Luck,
Ryan
