The Marble Room

Meet Valentina Petrovic

Owner


Valentina Petrovic is the owner and creative force behind The Marble Room, Northwest Indiana’s premier destination for luxury natural and engineered stone surfaces. Established in 2010, the company was born out of Valentina’s deep appreciation for architectural beauty and her desire to bring world-class surface fabrication to the local community. For over a decade and a half, she has guided homeowners, interior designers, and custom builders through the intricate process of selecting, fabricating, and installing premium countertops. Under her visionary leadership, The Marble Room has grown from a passionate startup into an elite showroom in Schererville, celebrated for its uncompromising craftsmanship, stunning material selection, and deeply personalized client care.


16 Years of Craftsmanship and Growth

Valentina’s journey in the premium stone industry spans sixteen years of dedicated hands-on experience, continuous learning, and business innovation. Long before she launched her own brand, she immersed herself in the technical and artistic nuances of stone fabrication. She mastered the unique structural characteristics of natural stone, studied the evolving engineering behind quartz, and learned how to properly align complex stone veining to create breathtaking, seamless installations.


Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to elevate industry standards, Valentina took a leap of faith in 2010 and opened the doors to The Marble Room. Navigating the competitive landscape of home remodeling, she built the business from the ground up by focusing on absolute transparency, free transparent estimates, and value-added client perks—such as offering complimentary edge finishing with every countertop purchase. Over the past 16 years, her unwavering dedication to quality has cemented her reputation as a trusted regional authority in luxury home design and stone artistry.


Expertise in Premium Surfaces and Spatial Transformation

As an industry expert, Valentina possesses a comprehensive understanding of how raw stone can be manipulated to transform the atmosphere, utility, and value of a home. She curates the showroom’s inventory directly, ensuring that only the finest grades of granite, quartz, and marble make it to fabrication. Her dual expertise in both the technical mechanics of stone cutting and the artistic principles of interior design allows her to assist clients in making choices that are structurally sound and visually spectacular.


Valentina’s primary areas of specialization include:


  • Curating Elite Stone Selections: Hand-selecting a breathtaking palette of natural marble, durable granite, and engineered quartz to suit diverse architectural styles ranging from rustic farmhouse to ultra-modern minimalism.
  • Showroom Design Consultations: Partnering closely with clients to map out spatial flows, coordinate backsplashes, and match cabinet tones with the perfect natural veining of the stone.
  • Precision Fabrication & Edge Detailing: Overseeing the technical cutting process and managing the application of complementary custom edge profiles that provide a polished, high-end finish to every surface.
  • Comprehensive Project Logistics: Coordinating full-service delivery and seamless final installations, while also providing flexible material pick-up programs for local independent contractors and DIY enthusiasts.


A Vibrant Life Fueled by Culture, Travel, and Family

Originally from Europe, Valentina brings a distinct continental flair, an eye for timeless classical architecture, and a rich cultural perspective to her work in Northwest Indiana. Her European heritage deeply influences her appreciation for old-world marble craftsmanship and permanent, heirloom-quality home design.


Outside of her thriving business, Valentina lives a life filled with movement, art, and exploration. She is an avid dancer and can frequently be found attending local arts events, live theater, and cultural shows across the region. A passionate traveler, she loves exploring new destinations worldwide, frequently drawing design inspiration from the diverse art, textures, and historical architecture she encounters across the globe. Yet, despite her worldly travels and busy schedule as a business owner, Valentina maintains a steadfast "family first" philosophy. For Valentina, the home is a sanctuary for loved ones to gather, which is why she pours so much heart into helping other families design kitchens and living spaces where lifetimes of memories will be shared.
