Marble has always been a luxurious choice for interior finishes. However, while it remains an expensive choice, it’s much more accessible and easy to use in everyday homes than before. If you can splurge on marble finishes, the choice can increase the value of your home and create a sense of luxury in your life. Here are some ways you can add marble to your decor:
Marble Kitchen Backsplash
For a luxurious take on a classic design choice, try a marble backsplash in your kitchen. This lets you enjoy using the material without spending a fortune on larger installations like countertops. You can find marble in many colors to match your existing kitchen palette, or you can create a whole aesthetic based around the backsplash.
Marble Wall Art
Another way to decorate with marble is by using a marble slab as a piece of statement art. Affix a beautiful piece of marble to any wall and you have an art piece that doesn’t even need a frame. This option gives you an opportunity to be creative with things like shape and color. Try multiple small pieces and hang them gallery-style or choose one large piece cut into a geometric shape rather than a basic rectangle.
Marble Accent Wall
For those who want to go a little further with marble decor, try covering an entire wall. A marble accent wall makes a perfect decorative addition to a bathroom or any other room where you want to add some luxury. For a dramatic focal point, renovate your fireplace to surround it entirely with a marble wall. You can choose from countless color options and enjoy a unique accent wall that’s sure to enhance any space.
Marble Slab Table
From tiny accent tables to grand formal dining tables, there are lots of options for using marble as a surface in your decor. A small marble slab with natural wood makes an upscale yet rustic accent piece. A long dining room table made from a marble slab makes any dining area feel more classy. One popular marble trend for tables is rough-hewn edges made to seem like natural wood. Combine this with marble coloring that mimics the appearance of wood grain and you have a beautiful surface area suitable for any size of table.
Marble can seem intimidating to work with, but it pays off in the level of luxury and timeless beauty it can bring to your space. Try these ideas if you’re thinking about using marble as part of your home décor.

I started my career in the real estate industry at the age of sixteen and instantly fell in love.
I worked alongside one of the top producing agents in the country as their administrative assistant for nearly nine years before I took the leap to begin my own journey in the real estate industry.
Working alongside an agent who sells over three hundred houses a year educated me strongly on the Pittsburgh and greater Pittsburgh housing market. While working alongside this agent, I was lucky enough to be involved in several different types of real estate transactions and learned to properly determine home values, many aspects of negotiations and have learned how to close challenging deals while also handling a large amount of deals at the same time.
I have also spent the past seven years working as a property manager throughout Allegheny, Washington and Fayette County. I have managed everything from Section 8 to Luxury units.
Exploring the options of the real estate industry can be overwhelming. While working with me you’re able to sit back and relax as I have worked with many investors, home sellers and buyers and can help guide through the sale or purchase of your home and make it as easy on you as possible.
Whether you’re a first time home owner, downsizing, sizing up, looking to make your first/second or third investment, selling your home, etc. I can use my years of education to help guide you through the purchase or sale of the largest investment of your life.
I look forward to chatting about real estate with you!
