Due to its durability, natural beauty, and ease of maintenance, marble has long been a favored material to design with. In fact, designing with marble dates back to the early Egyptian era, making this a look that has been hot for quite some time.
Marble: In The Kitchen & Bathroom
While marble is now being found more in accent pieces, it's important not to forget that its biggest presence is still in the kitchen: on countertops and as backsplashes. Not only does marble add a rich and beautiful look to your space, but due to its glossy surface, it also makes clean-up a breeze!

Another popular room to use marble in is the bathroom, where it's being used both in countertops, and also on the walls. Hint: elegant marble shower. In an all-white bathroom, a marble countertop will make your space feel luxurious, fresh, and fashionable!
