SLAB IT UP – KITCHEN MARBLE!

April 16, 2012
  • Share
kitchen with marble slab backsplash, black dark quartz counter tops, caesarstone wood floors and a small island

Curious to know what you think of this look?  Marble slabs used instead of tiles as a kitchen backsplash.

Most would say tile a backsplash…but what about this…marble from countertop to ceiling…a slab of marble?

Here are some examples of this look at work.  Kind of cool the way the veins in the marble create interesting uninterrupted patterns. Acts as a nice back drop behind a stove and hood or above the kitchen sink.

What do you think?

kitchen with white marble slab backsplash, an island, reclaimed wood and integrated stainless steel appliances and floating shelves
Large veins in the marble slab over the sink and cooktop in this modern kitchen almost look like contemporary art! (above)

kitchen with marble cabinets, an island, detailed upper cabinetry, a stainless hood and lantern pendant lights
Silver kitchen – grey cabinets, Carara marble countertops and the marble slab backsplash make for a kitchen that shimmers. (above)

kitchen with black cabinets with white trim, wolf range stove and oven, and marble slab backsplash
Black cabinets with white trim work nicely with the grey marble slab over the Wolf stove in this traditional meets modern kitchen. (above)

kitchen with windsor gray cabinets, marble backsplash, and carrara metal shelves
The marble backsplash behind this marble farmhouse country sink goes all the way to the ceiling creating a seamless look. (above)

Which of these marble backsplashes do you like best?  Do you like this look?  Or would you stick to a traditional tile backsplash for your space.

I’m kind of liking…would use in my third home…if I had a third home. 🙂

Happy Monday!

    I’m actually needing to redo my backsplash. I have cashmere white granite tops and just got finished painting cabinets white and walls robins egg blue (actually Halcyon Green to be exact!). So the white marble slabs has been in my thoughts…. you confirmed it!

    Love it!! Just remodeled my kitchen and opted to use this treatment. I am one of those persons that has never been a fan of grout. Prior, I had metal tile that was butted, loved that too, but wanted a change. Friends in design business wanted me to reuse the tile, they loved it. But, time to let it to go…..and glad I did.

    I think it is beautiful! This is what I did for my personal kitchen backsplash. I love when it can extend to the ceiling as it creates drama and draws the eye up. I have upper cabinets above mine however, but I still love it.

    I am in the middle/end of a kitchen reno. My countertops are calacatta oro and my backsplash, including behind the stove and under the hood, will be the sam marble. The benefit, in addition to no grout lines, is the veins can be book matched so they look like a seamless continuation of the ones on the countertop. I love these all, but my favorite is the third from the top. By the way, that is calacatta oro (Calcutta Gold) like mine not carrara marble.
    A beautiful post.

    Calacatta Oro is my favorite and if my clients are OK with using marble in the kitchen, I think it’s beautiful – epecially in slabs! They need to try out a sample peice to be sure they understand the properties of marble vs. granite and if it is honed they will probably be more comfortable with it since it etches. Many think that sealing will solve that problem but it’s not true.

    II love the look of marble its so opulent! By extending it to the splash back it gives the space a that added wow factor, you won’t want to leave the kitchen.

    I really Love this look, we are building a new house and all the time I thought that was white and grey granite, but it’s actually marble? I love it! Can’t wait to implement all of my ideas into my new house decor.

    The marble backsplash and sink are great. If you are working with a small kitchen, I bet a design like this would help make it feel bigger.

    I love this black kitchen – what a show-stopper. I would love to know the manufacturer of the hood in the white kitchen. I looks to have tone on tone stainless – very pretty. Thank you! Happy New Year!!

My backyard. Literally! A little piece of paradise My backyard. Literally! A little piece of paradise  at home.✨🌷 This view is right outside my bedroom window - the house has a beautiful hillside of greenery instead of a traditional yard. I love this view. Whenever people come over they ask if the hillside is part of the property and I say yes.  Even though I know how beautiful the view is and I love that I wake up to a wall of green outside the window at the foot of my bed, I rarely walk on the winding path on the hill. I never noticed how majestic the scale of the hillside was until until I saw my goddaughter Chloe walking around outside the other day! Here’s a reminder to find the beauty even in your backyard.
