There was a time when waterfall countertops were the epitome of luxury. I have seen countless examples of it done beautifully, but as with any trend, there comes a time when it starts to quietly retire. And although I don't think the love for waterfall countertops is going anywhere just yet, I have recently seen a new, exciting kitchen countertop trend that I think might just be ready to take waterfall design's top spot – paneled marble.
It's a look that really takes this natural stone to the next level, blending classic paneling with the natural beauty of stone to create a timeless statement. I personally first saw the kitchen countertop idea in designer Marie Flanigan's most recent project, which she's only shared a glimpse of. I was immediately excited by the edge details and had to find out more about her choice and why she thinks paneled marble might be the new waterfall countertop.
