Marble is a timeless material that’s guaranteed to bring a sense of luxe to any room it goes into. Looking for ways to incorporate it into your home? Here are 10 of our favourite marble and marble-look interiors to fuel your design thinking.

And remember, you can get more details of a project and see more of a professional’s work, including their contact details, by clicking on an image.
Horton & Co
1. Well-connected
Replicating a colour or finish is a great way to visually connect the different rooms in your home. Here, the soft, painterly veining of the marble fireplace surround in the living room is echoed in the bathroom wall tiles (pictured), forming a satisfying connection between the two spaces.

Horton & Co
Soft grey-and-white marble wall tiles set a serene tone in this bathroom, while creating stylistic harmony with the living room.
S&K Group
2. Light touch
Marble comes in endless incredible looks and, being a natural material, no two pieces are exactly alike. For a consistent aesthetic, marble-look porcelain is a great alternative. It’s tough, easy to clean and water-resistant too, making it a smart choice for kitchens and bathrooms.
S&K Group
Touches of a correlating natural stone in the living room – seen here in the custom shelving – ensure this home is telling the same visual story throughout.
Atelier DAU
3. Colour marvel
When it comes to an impressive colour show, nothing beats nature. Here, the designer emphasises the intriguing olive tones in the marble by selecting artwork in a similar hue.
Atelier DAU
Matt-black cabinetry and a concrete floor provide a neutral backdrop for the olive notes to sing out.

Mcmahon and Nerlich
4. Make a statement
Navy joinery in a buffed finish ensures the dramatic marble is the hero of this kitchen.
Mcmahon and Nerlich
Lining the shelves in the adjoining dining space in the same marble is a lovely touch and creates a sense of consistency between the two zones.

5. Carefully curated
With its soft, cloudy appearance, lima marble makes an appealing alternative to traditional richly veined marble. Here, it sits beautifully alongside blonde timber joinery, creating a warm and refined feel.
Demardi Pty Ltd
The subdued palette extends to the kitchen, where lima marble has been used on the splashback, set against pale-grey joinery.
Demardi Pty Ltd
Touches of black in the freestanding cooker and kitchenware balance out the subtle grey tones.
Bondi Kitchens & Joinery
6. Focal point
Simple white joinery ensures the Calacatta marble with its dramatic red and black veining is the focal point of this family kitchen.
Bondi Kitchens & Joinery
Extending the marble to the joinery in a storage nook creates a sense of flow between the spaces.
Alexandra Kidd Design
7. Beautifully balanced
Think outside the box when it comes to colour. Here, an island painted in refreshing teal makes for an unexpected and thoroughly satisfying pairing for a grey-and-white marble splashback and benchtop.
Alexandra Kidd Design
Touches of greenery add to the fresh and welcoming feel of the space.
Lux Interiors
8. Soft and sophisticated
Large-format porcelain tiles in a marble finish create a crisp, tailored feel in this bathing space.
Lux Interiors
The pale grey-and-white wall finish is cleverly balanced out with matt charcoal joinery and floor tiles for a contemporary edge.
Jo Carmichael Interiors
9. Eclectic beauty
Soft sage walls and modern touches, such as matt-black tapware, create something of a rustic-meets-industrial backdrop for this show-stopping burgundy Calacatta marble.
Jo Carmichael Interiors
A quirky operable wall light adds to the eclectic feel and ups the task lighting in the space.
The Dept of Design
10. Mint magic
Marble isn’t just for slabs; here, delicate marble finger mosaics in the prettiest of greens add depth and intrigue to a tiny powder room.
The Dept of Design
A matt-black vanity and simple top-mounted basin serve to ground the gentle wall treatment.
