A Moody Marble

We’re happy you’re here. This month, we sat down with our colleague, Tori, to chat about her Staff Pick: Pietra Viva Marble. A gorgeous natural stone that consists of black and white veining throughout the slab. It’s bold, it’s moody, and it’s perfect for any application your heart desires. Let’s dive in!

“I absolutely love Pietra Viva marble because I love dark natural material. The veining is dramatic, but it is not overly busy, in my opinion. If I was to put it in my house, I would use this for the full-height backsplash as well to really showcase its uniqueness. I’d also pair this stone with dark-colored cabinets for an even bolder look!” 

Dramatic Yet Subtle – Like Me!

Pietra Viva marble is renowned for its deep, rich tones and striking veins. This type of marble emits a sense of finesse and drama, making it a fan favorite for those looking to make a bold statement. The dark hues of Pietra Viva create a captivating contrast with its lighter background, producing a visual effect that can’t be mimicked in a man-made stone. 

Marble can be soft and subtle, but that’s just not the case with Pietra Viva. It’s dramatic and well-balanced, offering just the right amount of dazzle without overwhelming the senses. Can’t get enough of it? Consider doing a full-height backsplash or fireplace to create a stunning visual centerpiece!

She’s Versatile

Incorporating Pietra Viva marble into your home can create an elegant atmosphere. Its dramatic veining and rich dark tones make it a standout choice for those who appreciate the beauty of natural materials. Whether used as a full-height backsplash and paired with dark cabinets like Tori loves or integrated into smaller design decisions, Pietra Viva marble can transform your living space into a luxurious and visually captivating haven. For those who love the allure of dark natural materials, Pietra Viva is a choice that promises timeless beauty and enduring appeal.  So go ahead, get your marble on!
