Marble Interior Inspiration

Once reserved for traditional or classic settings and interiors, marble is enjoying a renaissance and experiencing a new lease of life. Used floor-to-ceiling to make a statement or in small accessories for a subtle impact, the natural stone has been implemented by the design world in everything from kitchen countertops and flooring to heavy-duty sinks.

Marble is now clean, modern and minimalist, often becoming the feature in the room rather than being fussy and opulent. Teamed with classic black and white or copper and pale pink, marble is given a contemporary refresh, and is a chic addition to any interior.

Marble shelving can add another dimension to a simple room like this one. By sticking to ornaments and decorative pieces in shades of brown, grey, black and gold, the room remains stylish and doesn’t steer away from the minimalist aesthetic. Image via Hecker Guthrie.
