The Rise of Marble in Turkish Luxury Homes
Turkey is one of the countries with the highest quality marble deposits in the world. This natural wealth has begun to be used more in luxury housing projects in recent years. While the use of marble has increased by 40 percent, a combination of both local and imported varieties is being used to give spaces a unique character.
5 Prominent Marble Trends for 2025
Book-Matched Wall Coverings
Applying mirror images of the same marble block side by side creates a striking appearance. This is particularly popular in entrance halls and behind fireplaces. Elazığ Vişne and Bursa Bej are the leading stones in this area.
The Rise of Local Marble
Local stones such as Afyon Şeker, Milas Leylak, and Akşehir Siyahı are competing with global trends. They offer sustainable and culturally significant options.
Matte (Honed) Surfaces
Matte surfaces that emphasize the natural texture are taking center stage over glossy surfaces. This style is particularly used in kitchens to create a modern and minimalist look.
Thin Cutting Technology
Marble coverings with a thickness of 1 to 2 cm make wall and ceiling applications easier. They attract attention with their lightness and cost advantage.
Marble and Metal Harmony
Marble surfaces enriched with metals such as brass and bronze are used in bathrooms, stair railings, and kitchens. It brings together traditional and modern lines.
Application Recommendations Specific to Turkey
Climate Sensitivity
In humid regions, marble with low water absorption rates should be preferred, while in sunny areas, stones with high UV resistance should be chosen.
Cultural Motifs
Special cuts can be made with Turkish motifs. Seljuk and Ottoman patterns can serve as a source of inspiration.
Easy Maintenance
Special polishes and impregnation processes suitable for the Turkish climate extend the life of marble.
