16 Beautiful Marble Kitchen Countertops

Pietra Gray Marble Kitchen

If you prefer matte surfaces, consider honed marble. Slabs like these are ground to achieve a smooth, flat surface with a matte finish.

In this cooking space by Construction Resources out of Atlanta, GA, a honed Pietra gray marble countertop gives a rustic kitchen island a chic lift.

Black Marble Kitchen

Pair black marble with dark brown wood like this chic contemporary kitchen from interior designer Kara Mann. Under-cabinet lighting highlights the stone and creates a focal plan in the open-plan space.

Blue-and-Gold Marble

The blue-and-gold marble counter on top of the kitchen island anchors this contemporary cooking space by Enviable Design based in Vancouver, Canada. The slab's blue and gold veins are picked up in the stone backsplash and brass pendant lighting. 

Mystery White Marble

When designing this lovely Shaker-style kitchen, Studio McGee went with a soft neutral palette. Soft gray cabinetry and a white backsplash are combined with Mystery White marble countertops. 

Blue Marble Kitchen

A kitchen in a traditional home in Bethesda, MD got a fresh new look courtesy of Ella Scott Design. The chic yet homey cooking space features a blue marble countertop paired with a matching backsplash.

Additional features stick with the cooking space's mostly cool-hued palette—most notably, the stainless steel Wolf range, brushed nickel cabinet knobs, and chrome faucet.

Marble Kitchen Walls

White marble with black veining covers the countertops, island, and walls of this contemporary kitchen from Brophy Interiors for a dramatic look. Black cabinet pulls, plumbing fixtures, bar stools, accessories, and a charred wood drop ceiling echo the black veining in the stone. A mix of pale wood and royal blue cabinetry adds dimension.

Black Marble Island

A black marble waterfall island floating in the middle of this vintage industrial kitchen from Leanne Ford Interiors creates a fetching centerpiece.

The marble island is paired with black plumbing fixtures and anchored by a trio of black vintage industrial pendant lights that contrast with gray textured walls, rich wood floors, and an antique fireplace.

Delano Marble Kitchen

Add some zing to your white cooking space with a Delano Marble countertop as shown on this kitchen island. 

Brooke Wagner Design did not want to detract from the natural stone's dramatic gray lines, so they painted the island the same shade as the cabinets and chose see-through Lucite bar stools. The dark countertop lining the wall is soapstone.

Black on Black Marble

A black marble countertop and book-matched marble backsplash create a sleek and dramatic feel.

Swan Architecture created this cooking space intending to marry retro Hollywood style with modern Hollywood glam.

They accomplished their mission by blending the marble features with glitzy accents including the gold velvet bar stools and chic pendant lighting.

Black Marble Backsplash

Marble is an expensive material that will make an impact even when used in small quantities.

Kate Marker Interiors clad this kitchen butler's pantry backsplash in black marble heavily veined in white for a dramatic feel.

The upper and lower cabinetry is painted in a very deep shade of green-black to add a bit of contrast that is less stark than pure black.

Black Marble Peninsula

A black marble peninsula that matches the adjoining countertops and apron-front sink is paired with light blue tiles and cabinetry and brass accents for a modern take on coastal kitchen design in this space from Tyler Karu Design + Interiors. Honey-toned wood flooring, open shelving, and a gallery wall of cutting boards add contrast and warmth.

Marble and Soapstone

These days kitchen designers like to mix and match countertop materials. This contemporary cooking space by Brooke Wagner Design has a white Carrera marble kitchen island, paired with a black soapstone countertop for a classic look.

Crema Marfil Marble

Stone countertops come in a broad range of soothing natural hues. In this cooking space from Centsational Style, a soft beige, Crema Marfil marble countertop sets the tone for a pale, green glass tile backsplash.

Black Marble and Tile

Add texture to a black-and-white kitchen with a mix of finishes. Jessica Nelson Design paired black marble countertops with a black subway tile backsplash, and paired a black marble-topped central island with a painted black wood base for a modern look.

Calacatta Gold Marble

This Calacatta gold marble kitchen island is a standout for its timeless style. Construction Resources combined the luxurious stone countertop with brass hardware and gold-lined pendant lights to bring out the material's gold and gray veins.

Black and White Marble

Alternate slabs of black marble with pronounced white veining and white marble with equally strong black veining for a playful modern mix. Leanne Ford Interiors let the stone do the talking in this otherwise minimalist contemporary kitchen.
