There are many ways to utilize stone in an upcoming home redesign project. The versatility of stone makes it ideally suited to use in a wide range of applications, and it can enhance the look of many rooms in your home regardless of your budget. Most homeowners are aware of stone’s use with kitchen and bathroom countertops, but there are many other ways you can creatively use stone to make your home look beautiful.
Below is a discussion of some of the uses of stone that have been trending recently. This list is by no means exhaustive. Our team of expert surface specialists at the Stone Collection can discuss your upcoming redesign project with you in order to recommend a variety of innovative ways to use stone for stunning results.
If you’re upgrading your bathroom and prefer a more upscale appearance than is possible with tile, consider using stone in your shower. Stone showers have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. They deliver a luxurious look and feel that is highly durable.
You have many options to choose from when designing a stone shower. Classic marbles such as Calacatta or Carrara provide a truly timeless aesthetic, while the unique textures, patterns and colors of granite and travertine will give your bathroom an exotic feel and make your shower a one-of-a-kind statement piece.
Stone exhibits many properties that make it highly functional for use in a shower. It’s naturally resistant to water and staining, making it the perfect material for wet environments. In addition, its durability and ease of maintenance will keep it looking great for years to come. With a stone shower, you’ll achieve an elegant appearance that provides a spa-like experience.
If you’re installing stone countertops as part of your kitchen remodel, you may want to consider stone backsplashes as well. They provide a great complement to stone countertops, giving your kitchen a more modern, high-end appearance. While stone backsplashes are great in any home, they are especially ideal for people who like to cook and spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
You have the ability to choose a stone material that will complement your unique style preferences. If you like a modern look, quartzite may be a great option for your backsplash. For a more rustic, earthy feel, a textured slate may deliver your desired aesthetic. Regardless of the type of stone you choose, you’ll be able to infuse your kitchen with a distinct character that makes people take notice.
In addition to elevating the beauty of your kitchen, stone backsplashes provide several important functional benefits. They are resistant to stains, heat and moisture for excellent durability and ease of maintenance.
If you’re looking for a feature that will make a dramatic statement, you may want to consider bookmatched stone. The bookmatching technique results in intricate, mirror-like patterns and symmetrical designs that are truly stunning.
Bookmatched stone can be used to achieve a variety of aesthetic goals, including:
Not only does bookmatched stone provide a beautiful feature to capture the attention of your guests, but it will highlight the craftsmanship and artistry that is possible when you incorporate sophisticated stone pieces in your home design.
