How to Style a Microcement Table
A microcement table is a statement piece — its seamless surface and mineral quality anchor a room. Here are styling ideas to make the most of your Marlot Baus table, whether it's a dining table, coffee table, or side table.
Dining Table Styling
Minimalist
Let the table speak for itself. A single ceramic vase or bowl as a centrepiece. Linen napkins in natural tones. The microcement surface is the star — don't clutter it.
Mediterranean Warmth
Pair Off-white or Sand microcement with terracotta ceramics, woven placemats, and olive branches. The mineral surface of the table echoes the walls of a Mediterranean home.
Nordic Cool
Grey microcement with Natural Oak legs, paired with pale linens, white ceramics, and simple glassware. The cool mineral surface complements the clean lines of Scandinavian design.
Modern Contrast
Black microcement with Mirror steel legs — let the table be the bold element. Style with brass or gold accents, dark ceramics, and a single dramatic floral arrangement.
Coffee Table Styling
- Books and objects: Stack 2-3 art books offset by a sculptural object or ceramic piece
- Tray styling: A wooden or metal tray containing a candle, small plant, and coasters creates a curated feel
- Single statement piece: One large ceramic bowl or vase — the microcement surface provides the perfect backdrop
Colour Pairing Guide
- Off-white + Natural Oak: Bright, airy, Scandinavian
- Ivory + Walnut: Warm, sophisticated, timeless
- Sand + Cherry: Earthy, rustic, Mediterranean
- Grey + Satin steel: Industrial, architectural, urban
- Black + Walnut: Dramatic, rich, intimate
- Crystal Pink + Natural Oak: Soft, warm, distinctive
Lighting Matters
Microcement surfaces interact beautifully with light. A pendant light above a dining table creates a warm pool that highlights the mineral texture of the surface. Natural light reveals subtle tonal variations across the nine-layer finish that are invisible under artificial light alone.
