Marble mosaic bathroom from Walker Zanger
People generally love natural marble for it's beauty, elegance and luxury appeal. However, they also maybe hesitant to use marble for their next remodel job, since it could be a lot of work.
If you are going through this process right now, you must be asking friends, family neighbors their experience and what they recommend. What you may hear are either really mixed reviews or be steered away from marble to "innovative" materials such as quartz or porcelain that don't require as much effort for maintenance.
Keep in mind that this method of steering you towards "innovative" materials is a sales trap from the wholesale and retail marble and granite stores. Quartz and porcelain is an easy sell, because they appearance is of the product is human engineered and very consistent.
It's harder to sell marble due to it's variation. One piece could be beautiful to you, but ugly to another and vice versa. This is why sales reps tend to "educate" the public of engineered materials over natural materials, since it's an easier sale.
