Take a sample home and put lemon juice on it. What you will find is that the etches on dark marble show up white. Not at all attractive. And that's why only the white marbles are truly popular for kitchen counters. They show etches much less than the dark ones. Possibly use it as a vertical accent somewhere in your home (NOT a shower), but I wouldn't use it on any horizontal surface. Maybe a gorgeous full height backsplash where you have no uppers on a wall....or in an entry way directly facing you as a focal point. Think of it as art, not a work surface.

#KitchenBacksplashes have become a must with the advent of modular kitchens. Protecting the wall behind the cooktop, is as equally important as designing any other part of the kitchen. Here in this article we have nailed out some of the beautiful kitchen backsplash design ideas for you.. http://www.bonito.in/2014/great-kitchen-backsplashes-kitchen-ideas/

Unfortunately all your options require custom work: It looks like you need an 18" corner cabinet. You will have to modify the last wall cabinet on the left. As I am eyeballing it, you should be able to cut the last cabinet in the middle and then shorten the left section to fit the space of the wall next to the door trim. It's an option that makes the area looks symmetric. Or you can install shelves over the sink. I would not recommend it because it will take the looks away. And the last option will be to remove the last cabinet, shorten it so it fits over the sink and install a single cabinet where the double one was. This will leave a triangle space behind the corner where the two cabinets will meet. You can block the space under it. Hope this helps!

Hey Sara, This looks like an interesting challenge. There are a few things you can do. Firstly, you can add a partition to the end of the counter to create a screen. You could go for a jaali pattern or a solid partition based on how you decide to accessorize the space. Secondly, we can never go wrong with pendant lamps - reference image below. Thirdly, you can either choose to put a beautiful backsplash tile (small ones will look pretty) or you could install a wallpaper on the partition and the adjoining 2 walls - this is where you choose between solid and jaali partition. Either way they to keep the partition in white. Finally, rectangular is now boring. An oval mirror (given the assumed size of the space) will look pretty! We hope this helps!!
