Why Marble Is the Secret to a Home That Tells Your Story
Marble remains a timeless choice for interior design, but using it well takes careful thought. Katie Harbison, an interior designer and one of Homes & Gardens' new Editors-At-Large for By Design, always turns to marble first when shaping a room. She believes it sets the foundation for a space, guiding everything from materials to mood.
For Harbison, marble isn't just about luxury—it's about creating a home that feels lived-in. She avoids treating spaces like museums, instead embracing how marble ages and develops character over time. While it demands regular care to prevent stains and wear, she argues that its evolving patina adds warmth.
Marble's versatility makes it a favourite among designers, but its impact depends on how it's used. Harbison's approach highlights the material's ability to define a room while adapting to daily life. With the right selection and placement, it becomes more than just a surface—it becomes part of a home's story.
