What are the pros and cons of using black marble in interior design?
Pros: Dramatic, luxurious focal points; hides stains effectively; pairs with any color; makes spaces feel deeper. Cons: Shows dust and fingerprints easily; absorbs heat; can make rooms feel smaller; scratches more visible on dark finish. PFM recommends using black marble as accent pieces - vanity tops, fireplace surrounds, or statement islands rather than whole-room flooring.
