10 Spectacular Marble Kitchens That Will Make You Want to Go All Natural With Your Stone Choices

Fluted marble is a huge trend and a great way to add three-dimensional intrigue without compromising those precious clean lines we all strive for in modern kitchens. The fluted kitchen island's sculpted grooves catch light and cast deep shadows, creating texture and visual interest.

In this project by Cave Interiors, generous, pillowy fluting on the island front showcases the marble's veining in soft, undulating waves rather than harsh, grill-like ribs, striking the perfect balance between drama and subtlety.

"The client's brief was to create a kitchen that felt both modern and timeless, with a touch of the unexpected," recalls founder, Georgina Cave. "The modern elements reflected his taste, while the timeless and slightly unexpected touches were hers. To achieve this balance, we designed simple painted doors and drawers with a thinner panelling profile, complemented by the striking fluted detailing of the Arabescato marble, which added just the right amount of drama they were looking for."
