Marbleous

Marble is taking interior styling by storm at the moment and I am a fan! The luxe feel it gives to a space is its greatest appeal and the subtlety of grey and white as a colour palette makes it adaptable to many colour schemes. My preferred combination currently is marble and blush and marble and copper.


Famous marble sculpture David
Taj Mahal is clad entirely in marble
Marble's versatility is surprising for a "non-foliated metamorhpic rock composed of recrystallised carbonate minerals." 


It has been traditionally used for sculpture and building materials, particularly favoured during the Roman times. 

These days we will see marble as bench tops, wall tiles, splash back features, baths and more. Just feast your eyes on this heavenly bath, oh the opulence!

My favourite inspirational place (Instagram) has an abundance of marble goodies appearing at the moment with beautiful decor pieces available as well as inspiring a range of marble look products. 

Here is a selection of some of the luxury goodies I favour and where you can find them:

KScents Soy Candles - www.facebook.com/pages/KScents-Soy-Candles
@kscentssoycandles knows a good thing when they see it and what a way to package their beautiful scented soy candles. The copper lid is the perfect accompaniment to the beautiful marble base. 


Marble Basics - www.marblebasics.com.au

Melbourne based @marblebasics has an abundance of marble to drool over. As their name indicates they basically do all things marble and do it beautifully. There isn't a product they stock that I wouldn't lust after.


Zousijewellery - www.zousijewellery.bigcartel.com
@zousijewellery openly shares my love for marble. These divine marble coasters can be bought from her beautiful selection. While you are there you must check out her marble jewellery... amazing! 

The Minimalist - www.theminimalist.com.au
@minimaliststyle are right on trend stocking gorgeous marble decor and marble look items. As this image shows they have your walls covered too. So much marble envy!!!



Now you've had some marble to marvel at, this is just the tip of the marble iceberg that luxuriously graces my Instagram feed. Having just got my first marble addition for the house (a marble tray courtesy of Mothers Day) join me in going forth and making your home "marbleous"!
