Carrara White

Carrara White is the marble most people picture when they think “marble” — a soft white to blue-grey background with fine, feathery grey veining. It’s been quarried in the Carrara region of Italy for centuries and remains one of the most widely used marbles for feature walls, flooring, and bathroom surfaces.

It takes a polish well and is equally at home honed for a softer, more contemporary look. Being on the softer, more porous end of the marble range, it does need sealing and a bit more care around acidic spills than granite or quartz.
