Marble is making huge strides in the interior design world and is becoming more popular than ever before . Gracing the centerfolds of countless interior design magazines , marble is being introduced in a new , non-traditional light . Marble is a fantastic addition to any home , as it is durable and long lasting , making it a perfect flooring for families with pets and children .
INNOVATIVE WAYS TO USE MARBLE THROUGHOUT YOUR HOME
Marble can be used for so much more than just flooring or for a kitchen counter top . Here are some innovative ways to incorporate marble into your home decor and interior design .
1 . Open Concept Spaces : The ever popular and in-demand ‘ open concept ’ space can be partitioned beautifully with built-in marble dividers and columns . People love this because the marble is used in a small dose thus not overwhelming .
2 . Half Wall Of Marble : A feature wall that is simply half covered with a marble slab is a delicate way to add a touch of elegance . This is ideal for backsplashes in kitchens as well as creating a focal point for above the stove . Tip : Add a marble-framed mirror over your sink for a touch of stately flair .
3 . Small Marble Accents : A touch of marble throughout your home via refined accents is a great way to showcase this natural stone in a low-key way . A simple coffee table or side table that has a marble top is elegant and beautiful while not being overbearing .
