  1. Fireplace: While a fireplace tends to be the focal point of a room anyway, one constructed of marble is sure to make people take notice.
  2. Backsplash: This has become an increasingly popular trend used by many kitchen designers as it works so well with sleek and modern stainless steel appliances.
  3. Sink: Yes, it is common to see marble in the bathroom, but not typically on the sink.  A marble sink is sure to bring a sense of classiness to any bathroom.
  4. Floors: We mentioned marble floors in the entryway of homes, but how about a mosaic marble floor?
  5. Room Divider: For an open floor plan that needs some separation between rooms, a marble room divider can make an elegant statement.
If you are in the market to make some updates to your home with marble, be sure to visit Surface Center as we have a wide selection of marble to fit the needs of any project.
