As marble countertops continue to be a symbol of elegance and luxury, and this year, designers are pushing the boundaries with bold new trends that redefine the way marble is used in the home.
From stunning cascading islands to integrated backsplashes, these trends elevate interiors while showcasing the timeless beauty of marble.
If you’re thinking about remodeling, here are the top five marble countertop trends to inspire your next project.
1. Cachoeira Islands: bold and modern statements
One of the most popular trends in marble design is the waterfall island. This design seamlessly extends the marble from the countertop to the sides of the island, creating a stunning, continuous flow of material that showcases the stone’s natural veins.
Why it’s trending:
- Elegant aesthetics: Seamless edges offer a clean, modern look that serves as the centerpiece of any kitchen.
- Durability: Protects the sides of the island from scratches and damage, making it elegant and practical.
Color combinations:
- Pair bold Calacatta Gold marble with matte black cabinets for a dramatic contrast.
- Pair soft Carrara marble with white cabinets for a classic, timeless design.
Project Highlight:
Prime Countertops recently completed a stunning kitchen with a Calacatta marble waterfall island that blended perfectly with the modern interior, becoming the focal point of the home.
2. Full Height marble backsplashes
Say goodbye to traditional tile backsplashes and hello to full-height marble. Extend the countertop marble even the bottom of the upper cabinets creates a cohesive, luxurious look.
Why it’s trending:
- Perfect Design: Reduces grout lines, making surface cleaning and maintenance easier.
- Visual impact: Enhances the natural beauty of marble by presenting larger, uninterrupted slabs.
Style Tips:
- Use a polished finish for a subtle, matte look that complements minimalist kitchens.
- Opt for matching slabs to create a mirrored effect, adding symmetry and elegance.
Project Highlight:

3. Mixed marble styles for a layered look
Homeowners are increasingly combining different styles of marble to create depth and contrast in their spaces. Mixing patterns, colors and finishes allows for personalized designs that reflect individual tastes.
Why it’s trending:
- Customized Feature: Creates unique designs that stand out from traditional, uniform looks.
- Versatility: It allows you to balance bold and subtle elements in the same space.
Ideas for mixing styles:
- Pair Statuario marble countertops with Carrara marble backsplashes for a subtle contrast.
- Use polished marble for the island and honed marble for perimeter countertops to create variation in texture.
Project Highlight:
A recent project by Prime Countertops featured a mix of polished Calacatta marble on the island and polished Carrara marble on the surrounding countertops, achieving a balanced yet attractive design.
4. Dark marble: dramatic and luxurious
While white marble remains a classic choice, dark marble is gaining popularity for its bold, dramatic aesthetic. Colors like Nero Marquina and Verde Alpi add richness and depth, making them perfect for kitchens, bathrooms and even residential environments.
Why it’s trending:
- Luxurious Appeal: Dark marble exudes opulence and pairs well with metallic details.
- Versatility: Works beautifully in both modern and traditional designs.
Design Ideas:

This trend emphasizes seamless design and maximizes marble’s impact in any room.
Why it’s trending:
- Simplified appearance: Eliminates visible seams, creating a unified, modern look.
- State-of-the-art design: Elevates the functionality of the space while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
