Marble is a stone that has been around since the ancient times. It may have become more polished over the centuries, but it still retains that inherent elegance that cannot be found in any other surface. Its such a popular surface that its texture is being emulated in different materials like laminates, tiles, and even engineered quartz. This way, it has become much more affordable as well. If you’re searching for ways to use elegant marble accents in your home interiors, then here are a few ideas:

Marble is one of those versatile materials that can be used even in large quantities and still come off as absolutely sophisticated. The only catch is that your space has to be big – or in case of Singaporean homes; has to have an open floor plan. Once you have a large expanse of space, a large marble textured accent wall can be the piece de resistance of the room.
4. Requisite countertops
