The key to stone interiors

Natural stone gives a unique character to your interior. It can be incorporated as a subtle finish, such as in your kitchen worktop, a characterful floor or as an eye-catcher such as the decoration of a fireplace or complete wall covering. There are many different types of natural stones that we are already familiar with. For instance, a material like marble was mainly used in palaces and stately mansions and we now see it coming back more and more often, even in sleek, modern interiors.

There are countless ways to incorporate natural stone in the exterior or interior of a home. However, it is important to take two aspects into account. First of all, the use of the room usually determines which natural stone application lends itself best to it. In addition, appearance also plays a very important role. The material is pleasing to the eye and adds a touch of luxury to your interior. The natural look of natural stone suits the living room, kitchen and bathroom. Natural stone, the name says it all, is a natural material.

There are all kinds of variations, so there is a type of natural stone to suit every type of interior. For instance, travertine is often used for floors as the material is timeless and easy to maintain.Although it is usually light in colour, it gives your home an authentic and natural look.Marble is especially a popular choice for transforming your bathroom into your own luxurious spa. More so, it is associated with comfort and transforms even the smallest space into a gem.Granite is a natural stone that is very strong and shows favourable properties against acids and dirt, ideal for the kitchen.If you want to cook undisturbed, a granite worktop is definitely recommended. Not to mention the well-known terrazzo.This consists of crushed granite and marble granules bound together with cement.The advantage is that in terms of colour, you can make it exactly the way you want it.There is no right or wrong choice. Which choice is best for you depends mainly on the desired look and your available budget.
