Marble is a timeless design choice, and we’ve been spotting some absolutely stunning ways designers are using this stone and taking it whole new level. We are talking about large scale marble installations. Eye-catching, and undeniably gorgeous, it might make you think twice about traditional tile-backsplash.

Full slab backsplashes, floor to ceiling walls of stone and waterfall kitchen islands are all included in our round-up to inspire you for your next reno. Scroll through for marble-lover heaven.

Marble Slab Backsplashes

Replacing the traditional tile backsplash are full marble slabs that continue from the counter all the way up. It has an old world charm with a very modern feel. Not only does it feel incredibly luxurious, it is seemingly simple, but not at all ordinary.

Waterfall Marble Islands

Waterfall islands are absolutely stunning on their own, but add in the drama of veining and depth of natural stone, and you have got a timeless design winner in your kitchen. Just see for yourself.

Marble Slab Walls

There’s marble backsplashes and islands and there and there is a whole wall of marble. A whole new level of drama and simple luxury.

Styling a Console Sink

We love incorporating unique details in a bathroom whether that be lighting, cabinetry, decor, faucets…you name it, but today we’re going to be talking about sinks, particularly the console sink. Console sinks don’t really offer a whole lot, they are not too practical as there isn’t a lot of built-in storage and often times aging the bathroom way way back, but I’ll let you in on a secret… when you don’t really need that much storage (like in a powder room) and when it’s styled just right the console sink gives the room so much character! I’m here to show you how to style a modern bathroom with vintage flair using the console sink.

There are many ways you can style a console sink by incorporating different design elements to achieve a collected look. Here’s one way we would go about styling a console sink with signature style. A touch of vintage, some classic elements, modern lines, and soft natural textures.

GET THE LOOK

Console Sink // Restoration Hardware
Sink Faucet // Brizo
Hot-cold supply line // Rejuvenation
Mirror // CB2
Sconces // Brayden Studio
Jute Basket // Restoration Hardware
Ribbed Metal Planter // McGee and Co.
Turkish Hand Towel // June Home Supply

For this combo, we mixed metals and went with matte black and brass finishes, adding an eclectic element. We selected a console sink from restoration hardware with a timeless marble top, and put it against a classic board and batten wall to add texture to the room. We tone down the room to a more casual vibe with through decor with the jute basket, turkish hand towel, and ribbed metal planter. Simple, casual, modern, yet timeless!

But don’t just take inspiration from us, here are some other designers who have done it oh so right. Simply swoon worthy!
