Vanessa Hudgens' beautiful baby bump debut at the 96th Academy Awards isn't over yet. That led us to the obvious place: her Instagram page.
Among the newly posted red carpet photos, we've spotted a chic and timeless interior shot of Vanessa Hudgens in classic fashion. The actor's kitchen is a modern oasis filled with dark cabinetry and black-and-white marble countertops, a look that's always popular with celebrities and designers alike. But why is this aesthetic so popular?
Decorating with marble is a popular choice in kitchens because of its luxurious look, and experts say variations in the material can take it to the next level.
“A well-designed white marble-style quartz worktop will always be timeless and the default choice for certain kitchen styles,” said Mo Krisher, head of design at Caesarstone. However, consumers are now turning to alternative styles that have the delicacy and elegance they desire and a different look from the very basic white that floods the market. ”
The thing to keep in mind with marble is that it is an expensive material to maintain. Another option is to get marbled porcelain for the purpose.
“If you decide to incorporate this trend into your own kitchen, consider choosing oversized tiles,” explains Grazzie Wilson, head of creative at Ca' Pietra. “This reduces grout lines and creates a more seamless, smooth finish.”

Wilson explains that continuity is very important for marble designs to look neat and orderly. Too many patterns and materials can make a marble kitchen look busy. Think outside the box when it comes to where you incorporate marble.
“Use tiles continuously from the worktop to the backsplash to create the perfect look,” she suggests. “It can also be used on a kitchen island to give the illusion of a solid stone sculpture.”
