Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott's Manhattan kitchen has been praised for its striking gold marble slab backsplash, which exemplifies the growing celebrity trend of using a single continuous material to cover kitchen walls. Designed by Young Huh, the backsplash spans a significant portion of the wall, creating a seamless, luxe aesthetic that elevates the space without feeling overwhelming.

The gold marble, often considered challenging to style, is made versatile through thoughtful design, combining boldness with subtle elegance. The kitchen features complementary elements, including display shelves with faux olive trees and functional accessories such as ceramic utensil holders and a Great Jones Dutch oven, reinforcing a balance of style and practicality.
Design experts note that slab backsplashes enhance the visibility of countertops, streamline kitchen surfaces, and provide a low-maintenance solution. Michelle Barone of Madison Hudson Design emphasises selecting a material suited to the kitchen's mechanics, particularly behind heat sources.
Deschanel's kitchen demonstrates how a single, powerful design choice can make a space memorable, showcasing how luxurious materials can be both functional and stylish in modern home interiors.
