Designer Insights | 5 Creative Ways to Incorporate Marble into Your Home

Can’t decide between retro décor and a modern muse? Marble gives you the best of both worlds. Understated and elegant, marble can be incorporated seamlessly into almost any part of your home – inside and out. Marble is unique in its ability to feel both timeless and contemporary. It’s the ultimate investment into any space, whether you’re renovating your bathroom or designing a new entrance hall. 

At Siena Home, marble is one of our most commonly used materials, encapsulating our mission to seamlessly merge fashion and furniture. From our ‘Gusta’ candle holder to our ‘Giulia’ table, marble is perhaps the easiest interior design trend to experiment with. In this decorating guide, we’re sharing insights from our furniture designers on creative ways to incorporate marble into your home. 

Do you want your bathroom to feel like you’ve stepped into a five-star hotel? Marble adds a touch of visual drama to your bathroom, instantly elevating its look. While you can go all-in on marble and use it all over, this material is just as impactful when used as an accent. 

If you don’t want to commit to a marble bathtub, consider using marble flooring instead. Sticking to a monochromatic colour scheme gives your bathroom a feeling of timeless luxury, as if you’re soaking in a bathtub in a penthouse hotel room in Soho or Mayfair. 

Your living room is one of the highest-traffic parts of your home. The versatility of marble makes it ideal for a living room, especially if you’re shopping for a statement piece. Our ‘Jacqueline’ coffee table has an architecturally inspired silhouette, emphasising the glamour of marble with a warm Ashwood base. 

Looking to blend marble with a feeling of cosiness? Our ‘Amalia’ rug is a subtle way of adding marble detailing to your living room without overpowering your space. Hand-woven by skilled artisans, this wool rug adds warmth to your space and is perfect for styling under a coffee table or armchair. 

Walking into your entrance hall is like reading the first page of a book. It sets the tone and is an opportunity to have a little fun. Colour drenching, the trend of focusing solely on one colour, is a design trick that packs a punch. It helps to make your entrance hall feel bigger, while reducing noise to create a calming environment.

Incorporating marble into your colour drenching puts a fun, but elegant, twist on this trend. The beauty of bespoke furniture is that we can align your marble pieces with the rest of your entrance hall for a seamless monochromatic look. Subtle detailing like our ‘Giro’ wall light makes it easy to add a little marble to your colour drenching.

A dining table is always an investment piece for your home. Whether you love to host events or prefer to keep things more low-key, a dining table is where your friends and family will gather together. A marble dining table creates a focal point in your space, whether it’s an open-plan kitchen or a purpose-fitted dining room. Our ‘Giulia’ table is inspired by refined Italian design, featuring a solid natural marble top that’s suitable for everyday meals or elevated hosting. 

The secret to styling a marble dining table is to keep the rest of your décor minimalistic to achieve a balanced look. If you’re choosing a larger dining table that seats six or more people, avoid adding larger furniture and opt for clever lighting or floating shelves to create the illusion of space. 

Marble is a popular choice for countertops as it’s relatively easy to maintain and looks timeless. If you want to add functionality to your kitchen, consider creating a bespoke marble island that can double as a table or breakfast bar. Marble brings a tactile finish to your kitchen, whether you want an easy way to transform your space or if you’re planning a complete kitchen renovation. 

You can incorporate marble throughout your kitchen with subtle accessories, like our ‘Zeta’ bowl, or functional fittings, such as our ‘Alba’ ceiling light. Marble isn’t just for surfaces and your kitchen is the perfect space to start experimenting with this trend.

Although marble is commonly sought as a material for countertops and tables, its timeless elegance makes it one of the most versatile options for bespoke furniture. From wall lights to kitchenware and rugs, marble is one of our main design muses at Siena Home.
