Marietta Kitchen with Double Islands in Fantasy Brown Hard Marble

This Marietta kitchen makes a statement with two expansive islands, wrapped in Fantasy Brown Hard Marble with a leathered finish. The leathered texture enhances the stone’s natural movement, softens the look, and adds a tactile quality that feels both refined and inviting. Matching slabs for this project was no small task—the Fantasy Brown bundle had strong variation, and our team carefully selected each piece to create a harmonious flow across the long spans.

The perimeter countertops feature Brunello Quartz by Element, sourced from our friends at Stone Showcase, offering durability and a clean contrast to the marble’s organic veining. A Ruvati workstation sink brings professional-level functionality to the layout, while thoughtful design details—woven bar stools, brass hardware, and a custom wood vent hood—give this kitchen timeless character.

Why This Design Works

✅ Leathered Fantasy Brown Marble adds depth, texture, and a soft sheen that resists fingerprints.

✅ Dual islands maximize both function and hospitality, creating separate prep and seating zones.

✅ Balanced pairing of dynamic marble and calm quartz delivers visual contrast without overwhelm.

✅ Warm accents (wood, brass, woven textures) prevent the white cabinetry from feeling sterile.

How to Recreate This Look

1️⃣ Select a feature stone with a textured finish to create both visual and tactile interest.

2️⃣ Pair a bold island stone with a durable, neutral perimeter surface for balance.

3️⃣ Incorporate layered textures—natural fibers, warm woods, and metallics—for a cohesive, high-end feel.
