Marble Decor Styling Ideas For Your Home

Marble is a natural stone that has been used for a variety of purposes throughout history. From Greco-Roman architecture to the sculptures and works of art during the Renaissance, this unique stone has been revered for its beauty and versatility. In modern times the addition of marble pieces to homes is a great way to elevate the aesthetic of any space. 

We at Koala Living are big fans of marble furniture. We have curated a collection of world-class pieces that come in a wide variety of colours and styles, which can fit with any home ensemble. From sleek and modern to traditional and ornate, our marble furniture collection can complement any design aesthetic. Below are some of these world-class pieces and some tips on Marble Decor Styling Ideas For Your Home.

Marble Accents 

Accenting different rooms with marble furniture not only adds sophistication but picking out the right pieces can also add a wealth of utility for the entire room. Below are some examples of marble accents from our collection that range from Coffee Tables, Sideboards and Side Tables.

One perfect example is our Sambo Snow White Marble Coffee Table. It boasts a geometrically impressive L-shaped cut of white marble that may represent the missing piece in your stylish living room puzzle. A body made from black cowhide leather adds a textured look to the piece's luxury, while a golden-coloured base accentuates it. Complete the puzzle by combining the Sambo's two variants for a truly stunning marble accent.

A worthy accent piece for an elegant dining area would be our white and gold Etienne Sideboard. This note-worthy piece features vertical reeds on its impressive frame, a wealth of drawers and an impressive leg frame in luxurious golden colours. Its undeniably gorgeous top is made from white marble and offers space to display home-cooked meals, decorations, prized plates and so much more.

The Melody Marble Side Table, with its brushed champagne Gold Legs, can serve as a gorgeous accent piece to your living room ensemble. Its square cut of white marble will look stylish when paired with one of our impressive desk lamps or home decor. But its main purpose is to serve as a space for your essentials.

Marble Centrepieces 

Your home may be made up of different rooms with specific functions, but regardless of the space, a beautiful Marble Centrepiece is a great way to set a luxurious tone for the entirety of the room's aesthetic. Koala Living’s diverse collection of Marble Centerpieces includes everything from Dining Cabinets, Dining Tables, Entertainment Units, and so much more. Listed below are some of these that would be perfect for your home

The Adele White Marble Dining Cabinet is a versatile piece that can be used as a centrepiece for your living room or dining room. It features a gorgeous marble tabletop that can be used to serve as a decorative display for your figurines and keepsakes, to presenting food during get-together. Supporting the piece is a Black Steel frame that's crafted with vertical reeds that adds to the Adele's mystique.

The Masa Venato White Marble Dining Table is also filled with mystique and majesty as it serves as a gorgeous centrepiece for any dining room ensemble. This rectangular dining table features an off-white marble table top that's adorned with black and grey veins that aim to mystify friends and family. The Masa's table legs are crafted in a dynamic spiral design, which undoubtedly adds visual interest to the piece.

Keep your wires, microphones and records safe with the Isaac's spacious pull-out drawers that feature a geometric motif.

Perfect Lighting 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what good is a beautiful marble piece when trapped in a dimly lit room? Having the right lighting options in your room can enhance the natural beauty of your marble pieces while setting the desired mood. We at Koala Living, however, have taken this a step further. We offer Lighting Options that are adorned with marble to further accentuate the beauty of this majestic stone for your home.

The Anastasia Black Marble Table Lamp lights up your corner while sparking intrigue with your visitors. Its white glass sphere provides stylish illumination to set the perfect ambience for the evening. This wondrous sphere sits atop a metal rod that's attached to a gorgeous Black marble base. This piece works absolutely better when paired with one of our Side Tables or Sideboards.

Marble Resin and light combine to make our astounding Vanessa White Marble Floor Lamp. This uniquely creative piece features two lights that are housed in white resin dishes to set a romantic or introspective mood. As with the Anastasia, the Vanessa is supported by a cylindrical marble base that adds to its luxe aesthetics. 

Elegance wrapped in a familiar design is offered by our Nadia Brushed Bronze Metal and Grey Marble Table Lamp. A beautiful grey marble base features white veins that dance along its body. Housing the Nadia's light is a gorgeous linen shade in a sophisticated hue of grey. The Nadia is perfect for the bedroom, as it provides illumination for reading during late nights or sleeping.

Marble Styling Tips & Tricks 

1. Combine marble with other mixed modes of fabrics such as: gold, metal, steel or velvet. This can help to add contrast and depth and will  enhance a space overall and create a feeling of luxury.
2. Focus on marble statement pieces to be the main attraction in any space. As we've suggested throughout the blog, something as simple as marble accent details or marble lighting can be perfect for capturing the eye.
3.  Keep a clean neutral colour palette for the rest of your home to make your marble pieces stand out yet still simultaneously tie in with various shades of neutral such as cream, white, grey and black.
4. Add texture to keep the space from feeling too cold or sterile. Incorporating cozy textiles like plush rugs or wool throws can be a good way to soften your marble design aesthetic 
5. Bring other natural elements into your home. With marble being a natural material, it pairs well with other natural elements. Try adding some plants or flowers to the room to bring a pop of colour and life into any space.
