Hello annemariedonohue,

I think it would be really stylish to continue the marble on the worktop but suggest quartzite worktop as it's harder wearing. I imagine you might be introducing a table or something and so I don't imagine there will be much echo, there are also walled cabinets which will absorb sound.

To bring in warmth add some lovely wooden chopping boards in a stack and some marble ones too.. Some lovely finishes are handles and square cup handles are pretty hot right now..

Also you could consider painting the walls that are exposed a lovely chalky off white, cream or stone colour.. Earthy colours and matt.... : ))

I love the ideas from the posters here!

Hello,

A marble worktop would look nice or wooden one for a natural feel. You could consider adding black, white or grey in terms of colours.
