It's official. Interior designers and homeowners are all raving about marble wallpaper. It's an on-trend wallpaper pattern that's been growing in popularity for a while now and we don't expect the marble craze to end anytime soon! What makes marble wallpaper patterns so popular? Why and where should you use? Read on to find out!

Why Are Marble Wallpapers So Trendy?

Before we dive into why marble wallpapers in particular are so popular right now, it's important to put it into context first. Marble wallpapers are a part of the larger "faux effects" wallpaper category. These are wallpaper designs that mimic real life materials, such as brick, concrete, and wood.

Designers use faux effects wallpaper as a way to achieve a very specific aesthetic – the iconic red brick creating the feel of a loft space, weathered concrete for a contemporary appeal, rustic wood for a cozy and warm look, and so on. Faux effects wallpapers are designed with a lot of smaller details that help bring the faux "material" to life. Not only is it a stylish wallpaper category, it's a cost-effect way to get the look of the material without having to splurge on the real deal.

So why are marble wallpapers so trendy these days? First, marble designs are a good balance between contemporary and classic aesthetics. It's got that sophisticated, high-end look but also a casual, more relaxed approach that's minimalist in its details. Like many other faux effect wallpapers, marble wallpapers have a more abstract design that make it a great choice for both small and large rooms alike. This means marble wallpaper isn't just a visually gorgeous choice, but one that's versatile as well.

Where To Use Marble Wallpapers

Marble wallpaper designs can be quite flexible. One way to use marble wallpaper is throughout the entire space on all walls, creating a timeless look. Some marble wallpapers with a more minimalist design could even be used as a complementary wallpaper to a feature wall. This creates a unique dynamic look.

Marble wallpaper patterns are versatile and can be used almost anywhere. In the bedroom, living room, and dining room, marble wallpaper elevates the surroundings, creating a sense of luxury and high-end appeal. In spaces like a home office, powder room, or hallway, using marble wallpapers on the walls can help create a relaxing atmosphere that's more minimalist.

Curving Marble R5335

We're starting off our list with an iconic marble pattern but with a bit of a twist. This one features a minimalist geometric overlay that mixes curved sections with straighter lines to create a dynamic contrast that adds a sense of movement to the overall design. What we love about the geometric portion of the design is that it segments the marble background into different sections. If you look closely, each marble section is its own design, and not a continuation of the one adjacent to it.
