The kitchen is the soul of the home and has long surpassed its role as a place where meals are cooked and prepared. Nowadays, we also eat in the kitchen and entertain family and close friends. In fact, it has become the room where everyone “hangs out.” Kitchens have also become a predominant feature in real estate, adding substantial value to a home.

The kitchen is the soul of the home and has long surpassed its role as a place where meals are cooked and prepared. Nowadays, we also eat in the kitchen and entertain family and close friends. In fact, it has become the room where everyone “hangs out.” Kitchens have also become a predominant feature in real estate, adding substantial value to a home.
As such, we put a lot of thought into designing and decorating kitchens. From selecting the cabinets, and appliances to choosing flooring, countertops, a backsplash, furnishings and accessories, all decisions are highly influenced by trends. One of the most popular trends in current kitchen design is the use of natural stone, not just in countertops but in backsplashes and as decorative elements as well.
The typical natural stone in kitchens has been granite. More and more however, the trend has been to use quartz, quartzite or even marble. I love marble’s creative uses, its elegance and its timeliness. Below I’ve outlined some of the latest trends in kitchen marble design. So, if you’re interested in incorporating marble into your kitchen or you’re just curious about the latest kitchen design trends, make sure to browse these top kitchen marble trends that have homeowners everywhere rooting for a redesign!
Finally, the fact that we get to admire these works of art even after hundreds of years since their creation, is a testament to this material’s durability!
Marble can be found in a wide array of patterns and colors, each more impressive than the other. In fact, this level of diversity is one of the reasons why people love using marble tiles for walls, floors, bathroom and kitchen interior designs, decorations, and more.
If we move past the aesthetic characteristics of the stone, we learn that marble countertops handle heat well and maintain a lower temperature, even during the hottest days of summer.
These features make marble the number one choice as a countertop material for bakers.
Marble countertops, tiles, and floors are easy to clean and maintain because they don’t need special chemicals. All it takes is warm water, mild dish soap, and a clean damp cloth.
Still, keep in mind that this is a porous stone. So, if you don’t want it to stain, make sure to remove spills (especially of colored substances) as quickly as possible.
Due to its astonishing beauty, durability, and low maintenance, marble is a valuable investment in your home. If you ever decide to sell your home, a marble countertop, backsplash, or sink will be appreciated by potential buyers.
Overall, the main trend for kitchens is simplicity and functionality. Designers go for straight lines and color combinations that don’t involve intricate settings in order to create a pleasant environment that lets the eye wander.
As such, marble is a natural choice as it features unique patterns and an overall elegant and simplistic look.
