Marble has been used in architecture and interior design since the dawn of these fields. Ancient Greeks started this trend and over the course of centuries, it has evolved, fettered out, and risen to the top once more. As of 2020, marble accenting is definitely the next big thing, and if you’re searching to emulate this finish in your homes, below we’ve listed out some great inspiration:
1. Always the main media wall

The best place to show off your marble accenting is on the living room media wall. Not only is it the main area and focal point, but also where people’s eyes are naturally drawn when they enter the room. Your marble texture can be as unique or as simple as you need it to be. It’s all about matching or contrasting the surroundings. You’ll have a blast selecting which marble finish suits your space the best.
2. Making it mainstream

Marble accenting doesn’t always have to be used in minimalist doses. It can become a part of the mainstream interior design aesthetic. You can clad your walls with marble textured laminates. Your ceilings can be filigreed with this texture as well. It’s all about embracing the stark elegance of this texture and merging it with various interior design styles.
3. Front and back

You can utilize two marble accented walls by having them face one another. For example, if your media wall is marbalized, then the wall right opposite to it can also be marble textures. You can vary the finish of both walls to create better visual interest in your space. Just don’t make it too obvious, or your space can feel too mismatched – and not stylishly so.
4. As background noise

You can use marbled textures to create a lot of subtle background buzz when you need structured clutter in your home interiors. Carrera marble, Calcatta, and white anthracite marble textures especially emulate this quality. Their white and grey veined designs help create beautiful backdrops that can be finished with bold furniture and stunning accessories.
5. In concentrated focal points

If you want to concentrate your marble accents at only a focal point in your spaces, then using framed artwork of this texture is the best way to do so. You can use framed statement art of eclectic marble textures as the statement piece of your room. Or you can do a small portion of your accent wall in bold marble textures. It’s a great way to use this texture with style and moderation.
