Marble and Marble Looks in Porcelain
Posted by Kate Spencer on Jan 30th 2020
What words come to your mind when someone mentions the word Marble? Maybe words such as elegant, formal, extravagant, exotic, expensive, and fragile -- just to name a few? What if you were able to replicate the look of some of these beautiful, but often expensive and fragile stones, at a fraction of the cost and gain durability in the process? It would be exciting, right?!?
Great news – you absolutely can achieve marble looks with the extensive selection of polished porcelain tiles available at Tile Outlets of Ameria in a huge variety of styles and sizes!

Featured at Tile Outlets: Marble & Marble Looks in Porcelain
Given how classic and versatile marble looks are, and how many stunning products are available, we decided to create two marble-look concept boards. You'll find them detailed here and available for you to experience firsthand in the Tile Outlets stores.
Both concepts start with a marble-like polished porcelain tile for the base tile. Let's explore the two concept boards in detail.
Concept #1 - Travertino Natura Polished 12x24
The first concept demonstrates how you can combine the Travertino Natura Polished 12x24 with a glass mosaic, ceramic subway, marble and travertine mosaics. Each look complements the other. You can use them all together or just take a few concepts away.
Marble Looks in Porcelain with Travertino Natura Polished Tile
Travertino Natura Polished features warm tones with stunning veining patterns.
And if you are looking for a larger format, you can also find the Travertino Natura in a 24x24 polished porcelain tile.
The room scene below shows you the beauty of the product.
Although you can opt to use Travertino Natura for both your floors and your walls, you might consider one or all of the four products below that coordinate well with these marble looks.
Casino Royale Glass Mosaic
If you'd like to add a touch of glamour to your setting, you might consider Casino Royale Glass Mosaic (SKU 152157).
This glitzy warm-tones glass mosaic accentuates the rich and deep tones of the Travertino Natura. Imagine this combination in a stunning shower!
Travertine 2x2 Mosaic
If the bold glamour of the Casino Royale mosaic isn’t your thing, you have other options such as this Antique Onyx Travertine 2x2 Mosaic.
Note that a travertine mosaic should be sealed after installation to enhance the beauty of the stone.

Ceramic Subway Tile Looks
Another option would be a ceramic subway look for the walls such as Maiolica Matte Bisquit 4x10 that both blends nicely for a more classic look yet keeps the 12x24 as the star of the installation.
Beige subway tiles are trending.
Here is a subway with the Maiolica Bisquit crackled 3x12 offering that you can special order from Tile Outlets.
Marble Circle Mosaics
This Lt/Dk Emperador Marble Circle Mosaic marble mosaic features a circular design. It can be used on floors and walls although we recommend that you seal this after installation to enhance the beauty and preserve it.
This mosaic is made with Light and Dark Emperador marble; the sheet interlock for easy installation.
Concept #2 - Whitehall Ash Polished 12x24
The next marble and marble looks in porcelain concept board centers around Whitehall Ash Polished 12x24 tile.
Similarly, you'll see a variety of coordinating marble mosaics, glass mosaics and subway tile options.
Marble Looks in Porcelain with Whitehall Ash Polished Tile
Whitehall Ash Polished is a lovely light silver pattern with random and varied movement. This elegant polished look combines beautifully with cool-toned options.
As you can see from the room scene below, this tile looks fantastic with most white or grey accent pieces.
White/Dark Grey Pinwheel Dot Mosaic
Starting with a traditional look such as this White Pinwheel Dark Grey Dot glass Mosaic, imagine how great it would look as an accent piece, border or shower insert.
Ceramic Subway Tile Looks
For a subway coordinated look, consider Maiolica Taupe Matte 4x10 which is a darker grey color. This is also available in a glossy finish by special order.
Imperial White Marble Picket Mosaics
Another option is Imperial White Marble Picket mosaics (SKU: 306009) which should be sealed after installation.
Any of these items in combination with the Whitehall Ash will give you a classic and timeless installation.
Grey Blend Glass Lantern Mosaic
If you're looking for a fun and edgy look, consider this Grey Blend Glass Lantern Mosaic (SKU: 151979). The lantern glass mosaic features multiple tones of shimmery grey and the pieces interlock for easy installation.
Marble Circle Mosaics
If you want to stay with a marble look, you can choose the Marmol Mix Mosaic. These mosaics come in multiple color selections so you can decide which looks best with the field tile.
Add a Colorful Glass Mosaic
Finally, if you want to add some color then consider Ocean 2x6 Glass Mosaic. Its beautiful blue coloring adds a wonderful accent effect for a backsplash or wall feature. It is a 2x6 interlocking design and will bring that pop color to the room.
These boards represent a very small sampling of looks that you could create for your home from what's available at Tile Outlets of America.
