When we think of marble, we immediately think of opulence and grandeur. Well, thanks to recent interior design trends, this graceful metamorphic rock can be found in more places around the home than on the kitchen counter tops! Here are four simple ways to get on the marble trend and personalise your home by making it work for your individual style.
1. Forget Boring Table Tops
Whether in your entryway or by your bed, tables are a great place to showcase style. A big mistake homeowners make when buying furniture is limiting their style options. It’s natural to gravitate toward an entryway table that has a white top or glass inlay. Instead, a fun way to incorporate the marble trend is to add tables with marble tops. There are plenty you can find that have a beautiful marble print or real stone. Look at marble as a neutral and you can build upon it with picture frames, a lamp, or other accents.
2. Add Variety with a Marble Topped Kitchen Island
Your kitchen doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s! If you have enough space, plan on adding a kitchen island. Add a marble top and you’re ready to be featured in the next Vouge Living magazine! The key in pulling this look off is keeping the rest of the kitchen simple. You don’t want the texture of the marble to compete with other textures.
3. Make a Style Statement with Your Dining Table
If you don’t have any marble in your home, you can add some by purchasing a statement dining table. The marble design is perfect if you need seating for six, twelve, or just two. Marble tables are heavy, but pack a big design punch! Again, treat marble like a neutral. You can play up the black and white of the stone or layer different colours on top.
4. Frame a Marble Print
Currently a quick look on Pinterest will bring up hundreds of marble art prints for your home. If you’re looking to make your mark and bring a unique style to your new space, the online marketplace has plenty of talented artists who create prints with a marble feel.
Some artists have even created gold leaf monogrammed prints which look lovely on a marble background. To have a customized piece, all you need to do is contact one of the many artists and have it mailed to your home!
After adding some simple marble accents like a table or print, your home will stand out and reflect a style which is as unique as you. Happy styling!
