MARBLE
LUXE
Including mottled or richly veined natural stone in your kitchen ensures that
not only will your design be unique, but it’ll have a beautiful, tactile quality
that brings contrast and timeless style. ‘Once marble is quarried, the same
piece will never be found again,’ explains Sam Hart, a designer at
Roundhouse. ‘When you find a slab that’s stunning, the cabinets need to be
understated to let the stone do the talking. Marble needs no competition,
requiring a simple, pared-back design in a neutral tone.’

‘By using generous forms, minimalist lines
and exceptional materials, it’s possible to achieve
an elegant space that’s also highly functional’
