Marazzi Lume

Marazzi Lume: colour, gloss and relief for expressive interiors

Marazzi Lume brings the appeal of traditionally glazed ceramics to porcelain stoneware in the Crogiolo collection. Glossy surfaces, tonal variation and a deliberately lively finish give walls depth and personality. One of the most popular series at VITALE TILES, Lume works beautifully on a kitchen splashback, a vanity wall, a small guest bathroom or a restaurant feature wall. Within our Marazzi range, these wall tiles offer a way to make colour part of the architecture rather than a finishing detail.

10x10 and 6x24 cm: choosing the right proportions

The 10x10 cm square creates a clear grid and gives equal emphasis to colour and joints. It suits compact walls, niches and a deliberately small format aesthetic. The elongated 6x24 cm tile introduces direction: horizontal layouts emphasise width, vertical layouts lead the eye upwards, while herringbone adds movement. Consider the wall dimensions, fittings and cut tiles alongside the pattern. Availability varies by colour, so the descriptions below link to the relevant formats individually.

Rake and Swing: texture shaped by light

The Rake and Swing structures add a three dimensional finish in 6x24 cm. Rake has straight, more angular parallel ridges that complement clean kitchen cabinetry and carefully framed feature walls. Swing uses softer rounded ridges for a more flowing effect. Both structures are intended for walls. Side lighting reveals their shadows and makes a sample especially useful when planning the lighting. Among our decorative tiles, they offer an effective accent behind a basin, along a bar or inside a niche, balanced by a quieter adjoining surface.

Combining shapes and finding calm partners

For another geometric approach, explore Lume Esagona White, Lume Esagona Blue and Lume Esagona Green. Repeating a colour while changing the shape helps define a separate zone. For a related handcrafted aesthetic with softer tonal transitions, compare Marazzi Rice.

On larger surfaces, pair Lume with restrained floor tiles. Stone look tiles provide a mineral foundation, wood look tiles add warmth and concrete look tiles create a calm modern setting. Marble look tiles can echo the gloss in an elegant bathroom. Large format tiles make adjoining surfaces feel less divided, while mosaic tiles introduce a deliberately smaller rhythm. Decide which material should take the leading role.

Planning Lume for kitchens, bathrooms and feature walls

A full colour splashback feels different from a narrow band, a vertical niche or a single relief wall. Choose tile colour, grout and lighting together: a similar grout colour makes the surface feel more continuous, while contrasting joints highlight the layout. Use our tile samples to compare gloss and colour variations beside the intended furniture in daylight and artificial light. Our popular tiles offer further inspiration. Check the individual product specifications for floors and demanding applications; plan Rake and Swing as wall finishes.
