If you want to bring a touch of glamour and luxury to a space in a clean, classic way, then marble is your answer. Marble works in any room in the home, but the most popular place in which to use it is the kitchen. You can use it on the backsplash, countertops, floors, or opt for the most eye-catching statement: the island.

A marble kitchen island instantly grabs your attention. It makes a statement, standing out from the cabinets and other features in the space. Because of the subtle effect of marble, it will set the island apart with a bit of drama without being too bold. It’s a wonderful balance.

Here are 10 kitchens with marble islands to show the versatility of this look and just how much of an impact it can make in the space.
