9 Spaces That Shine With Bejewelled Tones of Marble & Onyx
From emerald green to dramatic blues, here's how dark, delicious tones of marble in your interiors will evoke envy
The natural beauty and durability of marble and onyx make them a popular option for home decor. Homeowners are now steering away from the conventional white, beige and light grey, and experimenting with deeper, unique shades and patterns. Take a cue from these spaces where dark, luscious and alluring shades of marble and onyx infuse charm, colour and style.
This kitchen is a refreshing shift from the traditional white-on-white colour scheme. The black marble countertop makes an excellent example of how to pair deeper shades of the colour wheel. In addition, the subtle white veining adds glam and life to the design.
The bold veining in this green onyx – a variant of marble that contains calcite – resonates with tones of emerald. It gives the bathroom a unique, dynamic look with swirling patterns.
