When we went to Italy for three weeks last summer, I enjoyed leafing through all the marbleized papers in the (tourist trap) shops in Venice and Florence. The organic and natural elements of these papers would be a welcome addition to almost any room.
The easiest way to incorporate the paper into your home is to pop a sheet into a frame. I love this orange and turquoise paper available for free download at Vintage Printables.
Nick Olsen glued marbleized paper to his IKEA coffee tables with rubber cement.
Christopher Spitzmiller lined his bookshelves with marbleized paper.
Surface View is a British company that sells ready-made and custom wall murals. I especially love these marbleized paper versions.
This mural is 75″x94″! Wouldn’t this be amazing in an entry or a dining room? I love the colors.
I’m dying to make my own papers for a framing project or for gift wrap using these instructions from Martha. Watch the step by step process here, on Martha’s show.
If you’re in the market for ready-made marbleized paper, Kate’s Paperie and Paper Mojo both have decent offerings.
These are really beautiful. I would never have guessed that coffee table was a (super cheap!) DIY!
Love Love Love this post. What a great idea to glue it to a coffee table. And I am loving the accent wall behind a headboard. So interesting and modern.
how pretty. hope you are feeling better.
I got into marbleized paper for a minute when I was a teenager. It turns out it's really easy to do! It's a good snowed-in project! 15 years later I still have some of the stationary I made that marbleizing summer.
I absolutely LOVE the idea of the marble paper being applied to a parson table…fabulous! Thanks for sharing!
Besos,

I also like the idea of using it for matting a picture.
well if it's good enough for Nick and Christopher … but seriously, I've been wanting to try it with the Martha instructions — very pretty!
hope you're feeling better!
These are such beautiful, great ideas!
I used to make a lot of marble paper, it is actually very easy and sort of relaxing swirling the colors together. I never thought about framing any of them though, I think I might do that this summer.
I love this art of Ebru (that's how it is called in Turkey). Here are some videos on how to make one:

If I was a book, I would want that paper.

I'm LOVING the marbleized paper, but even more than that, I can't stop staring at that gorgeous turquoise sofa! Perfect perfect perfect. What a great post!
I have always loved the look of marbled paper. Seeing it on the insides of book covers makes it so elegant. I am a seamstress and have been wanting to do the same technique with fabric. I think it would make some marvelous projects. Now I just need to get someone to build me a trough big enough to lay the yardage in.
So pretty. I haven't thought about marbleized paper since I made it when I was 7 at the local renaissance faire! haha. Such a great idea to put marbleized paper to some use!
