Arabescato Corchia Marble Splashback

Kent, United Kingdom

Our Installation Story

This

Kent

kitchen had one area that naturally called for attention: the cooking zone. We used

Arabescato Corchia Marble

to create a full stone splashback that follows the available wall area around the cooker, creating a clean, framed backdrop for the cooking station. The result is simple in concept but effective in execution — one carefully selected piece of natural stone has turned an otherwise functional wall into one of the defining features of the kitchen.

The Vision

Make The Cooking Area The Feature

The kitchen didn't need more decoration. It already had the range cooker, traditional cabinetry and those lovely brass details. What it needed was something behind the cooking area that could bring all of those elements together. We kept the treatment focused on the range rather than extending stone unnecessarily across every wall, allowing the marble to work almost like a piece of artwork within the kitchen.

Design Objective
Give the main cooking zone the attention it deserves.
What We Did
Positioned the marble splashback directly behind the cooker to create a strong visual centre.
Design Objective
Keep the traditional palette bright.
What We Did
Selected the predominantly white marble background to complement the surrounding cabinetry.
Design Objective
Introduce character without adding another colour.
What We Did
Allowed the expressive grey movement of Arabescato Corchia to provide the visual contrast.
Design Objective
Work with the existing warm metallic accents.
What We Did
The soft white and grey marble sits naturally alongside the cooker's brass-toned detailing.
Design Objective
Create a practical and visually clean wall finish.
What We Did
Fabricated a bespoke marble panel to provide a continuous stone surface behind the cooking area.
Final Look — The finished splashback gives the cooker a much stronger presence within the kitchen. Instead of competing with the range, the marble frames it. The white background keeps everything feeling light and traditional, while the naturally varied veining makes sure the wall doesn't disappear into the rest of the room. It is a relatively focused use of marble, but that is precisely why it works — the stone has been reserved for the part of the kitchen where it can make the greatest visual impact.

Material in Discussion

Arabescato Corchia Marble

A marble splashback can be a particularly effective way of introducing natural stone without covering the entire kitchen in it. In this project, the cooker provides the focal point and the marble provides the backdrop. The dramatic veining gives the wall depth, while the polished surface helps reflect light around the cooking area.

A Marble Backdrop For A Statement Range Cooker

You don't always need marble worktops throughout the kitchen to make natural stone the star. Especially if it's an existing kitchen and you've been wanting to change the look of your space without removing the countertops, you can install sink and hob splashbacks instead.

FAQs

Questions About Marble Splashbacks

Yes, marble can handle heat well. Consider a 2cm marble slab for splashbacks.
It has a white background with pencil, web-like veins in black-grey.
Not difficult exactly, but it does need a bit more attention. It's sensitive to citric acid, and harsh cleaners are best avoided.
No. Natural marble varies considerably between slabs. The density, direction and scale of the veining can all change, which means each splashback has its own appearance.
Sometimes. It depends on the dimensions of the wall, the available slab size and access to the property. Where practical, a single piece can create a particularly clean and uninterrupted appearance.
Yes, you can order a matte finish marble slab for a worktop, splashback, bathroom vanity, fire hearth and more. This type of finish is smooth in texture, minus the gloss.
