Marble has been revered for centuries as a symbol of luxury and elegance.
Although it can be a pricey investment, this timeless material adds significant value to any home wherever it is used. It's particularly useful in minimalist spaces, where the intricate veining and natural patterns of the marble become the focal point of the room. While you don't want to cover every inch of your home in marble, there are a few areas to utilise this stunning material to make a big impact.
KITCHEN SPLASHBACK
When we think marble, kitchen countertops are the first thing to come to mind. But a marble splashback is an interesting alternative that has a similar effect. The splashback serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose, protecting walls from spills while making a stunning visual impact. Marble is heat-resistant and easy to clean, making it an excellent choice for busy kitchens. No more cleaning dirty grout or scrubbing accidental stains off of your painted walls.
