Marble is a timeless yet expensive material that can be used for decor of every space, from industrial to glam, and it will be matching for all of them. Many home owners rock marble backsplashes, showers, whole bathrooms and go for it in other spaces too as marble is a trendy material. If you hesitate, whether it can fit your kitchen or not, I have some examples to persuade you! Let’s have a look and get inspired!
Marble Backsplashes
A marble backsplash is always a stylish, chic and refined statement and it can match almost any space, from minimalist to vintage. The backsplash can be contrasting or matching, and both looks are nice – it depends on the effect you want to create. The backsplash can be extended in the countertops, too, you will create a more interesting look this way, and you may also extend the marble on the whole wall up to the cabinets or shelves. There are lots of shades to try: grey, white, black and many others and each slab looks unique. Your kitchen will become more textural, stylish and exquisite with such a marble backsplash.

Marble Tile Backsplashes
Marble is a very expensive material but if you don’t feel like spending a fortune on it, go for marble tiles. Tiles give you even more space for being creative: there are different shapes and sizes to go for – hexagons, subway tiles, long and narrow ones, square ones, penny tiles and so on. You may also clad them in some patterns, for example, in chevron, and you may highlight the tiles and their shapes suing contrasting grout. You may go for a whole backsplash or wall covered with marble tiles or cover just a couple of rows and paint the wall in a contrasting color to make it bolder. Get inspired!
