Choosing marble is never just about color. Too often, the conversation stops at white or beige. But for architects, interior designers, and homeowners, the real question is: How will this stone shape the life within a space?
For Mr. Praveen Gangwal, founder of Tilak Marbles, the choice carries far more weight. “For me, this choice isn’t simply about aesthetics. It is about lifestyle, personality, and how a space is meant to feel,” he explains.
White That Commands
White marble signals scale and presence. In a recent luxury residence, banswara and pigus white lifted the double-height lobby, reflecting sunlight across the staircase and making the space feel twice its size. Guests noticed it immediately.
But it comes with discipline. White doesn’t forgive. A careless spill. A stray scratch. These are reminders that beauty demands respect. And for some clients, that’s the point — living with a material that holds its own.
Beige That Lives With You
Beige, by contrast, blends and comforts. Cream, sand, muted gold — it harmonizes with woodwork, brass detailing, and textiles. The marble softened the interiors without dominating them. It was practical. Elegant. Forgiving.
“Beige doesn’t announce itself; it envelops,” says Mr. Praveen Gangwal. “For lived-in homes, it brings a luxury that feels effortless.”
When Clients Decide
Some clients combine both: white marble in the lobby for impact, beige in private areas for warmth. The contrast brings grandeur without losing intimacy. This approach reflects Tilak Marbles’ philosophy: the right stone isn’t about better or worse — it’s about mood and use.
A 30-Year Legacy
For over three decades, Tilak Marbles has supplied stone to heritage restorations, luxury residences, and international projects. Every block is curated, finished, and installed with care. Some shine in pure white, others in earthy beige.
“Every block has a journey,” says Mr. Praveen Gangwal. “What matters is that it reflects the life you want to live. Stone is not just a surface. It shapes how a home feels — from the way light bounces in a room to the subtle texture underfoot.”
Tilak Marbles’ legacy is measured in projects completed, families served, and interiors transformed. White or beige, marble is not a choice of color alone — it is a choice of life, personality, and permanence.
