Marble columns set the tone for the rest of your home and having them right at the entrance - at the doorway or entryway is the best idea. This is the place where you are welcoming most of your guests and this is where your guest are going to get the first impression of your home. This is one area that needs to be grand, and create an impression that needs to set the expectations for people of what they can expect once they enter your home.

Antique marble columns set the grace in an open doorway similar to the finest buildings in the Italian history. You could even add the same sense of appeal to your area between the kitchen and the dinning room, and living room.

Plus, you have vast options to choose the design that matches your taste best. For instance, if you have decided to get Roman Marble Columns, you can select among Dronic, Iconic, Corinthian, and Composite orders (a combination of Iconic and Corinthian orders). Besides, to give your columns personalized appeal you can pick between Egyptian, Italian, Greek, Persian, Roman, Islamic, Romanesque, and Early English Gothic capital designs. It all depends on your choice preferences. While scheming entryway décor, makes sure not to compromise with marble column pedestal quality.

White marble column in the outdoors and that too as porch supports look awesome and add to the beauty of a porch and rest of the house. We have been witnessing so many porches that have had decorative marble columns add to their elegance. Take an example of this simple and graceful porch in the picture below.

Short marble pillars or marble columns with extended orders to ceiling and traditionally engraved capitals on both sides of a fireplace will make your fireplace stand out.

With Antique or Roman marble columns at both sides of a fireplace you don't need to add much art on the wall. Two white marble columns alone can make your fireplace a central focus within the room.
