Does it seem like your clients can’t get enough marble in your home design choices? We understand.
After all, people have been using marble as a building material for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians all prized marble for its durability and natural beauty.
Marble almost seems to have an inner glow, and its luminosity and texture make it an easy choice for use in home design.
From the bathroom to the kitchen, there are many ways to use marble– and that’s in addition to using it as a countertop!
Here are five of our favorite ways to use marble for home accents here at Everest Stone.
1. Shelving and Niches
Enhance the functionality and style of any kitchen or bathroom with marble shelving and niche inserts.
Use marble slabs or tiles to create custom shelving in the kitchen for storing cookware, dishes, and decorative items.
In the bathroom, install marble niche inserts in the shower for storing shampoo, conditioner, and soap, or use marble shelves to display towels and toiletries.
While a full marble floor might be too slippery, a marble niche in the shower adds that elegant touch and combines it with great functionality. The natural beauty and durability of marble make it an ideal choice for shelving and niche inserts, adding style to any space.
2. Marble Accent Wall
Create a statement wall in the kitchen or bathroom with the luxurious elegance of marble. Help your clients choose a wall to highlight, such as behind the stove or vanity, and cover it with marble tiles or slabs to make a bold statement.
Marble accent walls add depth and texture to the space, creating a focal point that draws the eye and enhances the overall design. Whether they prefer a monochromatic look or a more dramatic pattern, marble accent walls immediately elevate the kitchen or bathroom.
3. Luxurious Shower Surrounds
Turn your client’s bathroom into a spa-like oasis by installing a luxurious marble surround. Install marble tiles or slabs on the walls of the shower enclosure to create an opulent shower environment.
The natural beauty of marble adds elegance and sophistication to the space, while the waterproof properties of marble ensure that a shower surround will remain beautiful and durable for years to come.
4. Beautiful Backsplashes
Upgrade the kitchen or bathroom backsplash with the timeless allure of marble. Opt for marble tiles in a classic subway pattern for a sleek and sophisticated look, or choose larger marble slabs for a more dramatic statement.
The natural veining and variation in marble add visual interest and texture to the space, creating a stunning focal point that enhances the overall design. Both polished and honed finishes look great behind the sink, too. You can use either one, or combine them for an interesting textural contrast.
5. Marble Cabinet Hardware
Marble cabinet hardware, like knobs and drawer pulls, are small but impactful accents that help create cohesion in kitchen or bathroom design.
Choosing marble drawer pulls that match the marble countertops enhance the cabinetry finish and ties the overall aesthetic together.
Your clients can also choose marble hardware that compliments the main focal point of the room to add some variety while retaining the refined look of the space.
