Carrara Marble
Polished Back
to Perfection

The World’s Most
Recognized Marble

Carrara marble — named for the city of Carrara in Tuscany, Italy — is the stone of Michelangelo’s David and countless Palm Beach County estate floors, master bathrooms, and kitchen islands. Its characteristic soft white or blue-grey background with feathery, linear grey veining has made it the defining luxury material in South Florida residential design for decades.

But Carrara’s widespread popularity comes with a widely shared problem: it scratches more easily than harder stones like granite, shows foot traffic wear faster than denser marbles, and etches on contact with acids found in everyday life — citrus, wine, coffee, vinegar-based cleaners. Many Carrara floors we’re called to restore have been damaged by well-meaning homeowners using the wrong products.

At Lifestyle Marble Restoration, we’ve worked with Carrara in every setting across Palm Beach County — from the entry foyers of Palm Beach Island estates to the master bath vanities of Wellington and Boca Raton homes. We know Carrara’s specific hardness range, typical finish levels, and how to match its distinctive soft veining pattern across repaired areas so the restoration is invisible.
