There's been a huge shift in the way we design our cooking spaces over the last couple of years. We've gone from predominantly white kitchens that are free from clutter to schemes that are bolder and more personalized, especially when it comes to the materials we use.
So, it probably comes as no surprise that the latest kitchen countertop trend spotlighting Rosso Levanto, a rich burgundy marble with dominant white veining, is proving one of the most popular I've seen in a long time.
A far cry from the white and gray marble countertops that have become the go-to, this richer alternative adds the same luxurious appeal, but with a bolder, more unique look. And designers absolutely love it.
'We love using deeper burgundy-toned marble because it allows for a playful color in a completely timeless material – and what’s more timeless than stone?' says interior designer Susannah Holmberg.
'We love to incorporate the muted reds, burgundy, and browns for a lot of our color palettes, and this is such a distinct way to bring them in. We don’t worry a ton about trends, but I would imagine that people are looking for a bit of levity these days,' she adds.
The reason this countertop material has been received so well is for its versatility. Unlike the green countertops that have trended but dropped off relatively quickly in the past, these rich burgundy tones almost act as a neutral. And it seems they are far from a fleeting trend.
'Because these are still colors from the earth, they can be thought of as another neutral really, akin to a deep or chocolate brown, and can be integrated much the same way,' says Susannah.
You can add them to a neutral kitchen or a colorful kitchen, and it will integrate beautifully without overwhelming the senses. It's bold but not garish – it enhances your kitchen without completely taking over.
'Burgundy marble is a great contrast to lighter kitchen cabinet colors – I'm always about a good contrast! It's a strong look but in a subtle way, meaning it adds a lot to a room without stealing the show,' adds interior designer Crystal Sinclair.
'I think everyone is looking for something different. I mean, we've seen white marble over and over for the past two decades. Burgundy is a lovely marble that adds color to a space,' she explains of its appeal.
As well as being visually stunning, this striking material has a few practical benefits that may appeal too. While it has the same pros and cons as other marble variations, it does have one benefit that lighter tones don't: it is more resistant to staining. 'The colors are so deep and rich, and they hide dirt – particularly red wine rings – very well,' says Susannah.
The success of burgundy marble countertops lies in how you style them. 'I love starting with one material, whether that be a stainless steel, a paint color, or a marble, and then exploring different options that work with it or contrast with it (in a good way). I try to pair things that I haven't seen paired before,' says Crystal.
