Natural stone and tile trends 2019-2020

Spring cleaning? Need for something new? Do you want to give your home a fresh update? With a new sofe or coffee table, your living room will get a new look in no time at all. And a fresh lick of paint in the kitchen makes it shine again. But know that with natural stone you can truly give an interior just that little bit extra. Imagicasa consulted her partner Beltrami for the trends in floor and wall coverings. Also know that with natural stone you always choose a timeless and sustainable material that becomes even more beautiful with time!

Warmth
Declared the trend colour of 2019, 'living coral' is the mature version of the pink shades that have become increasingly popular in recent years. This coral orange has a rose-red and golden undertone and therefore radiates more warmth. A travertine floor fits in perfectly with this trend, but Beltrami also has a lot of distinct marbles and breccias that fall within this characteristic colour palette. There is the Rosso Francia, the Quatre Saison d'été or the Breccia Pernice.
Want to bring a little contrast or drama to your interior in another way? Then choose blue or green tones combined with colourful accents, textured metallics or messing? The Paonazzo Calcatta, for example, combines beautifully as a kitchen worktop with taps in brushed or glossy messing. Other warm stones recommended by Beltrami are Verde Luano, Azul Celeste, Ice Jade Green and Sodalite Blue.

Authenticity
Our March edition of Imagicasa Magazine was all about the best that Belgium has to offer in architecture, design, art etc. You don't always have to look far when it comes to natural stone either. The demand for European natural stone (Belgian Bluestone or German Muschelkalk) is rising and also authentic types 'with a soul' (Burgundian Castle Valleys and the Irish Fossil Stone) are doing well.

Playful forms
Another trend is daring to play with shapes and textures on walls. This can be done with the Beltralinea 3D strips from Beltrami, for example. These are available in numerous finishes, various widths, lengths and thicknesses and can be placed both horizontally and vertically. The natural stone supplier also has a large, new range of tiles for a unique and original result.
Round shapes and geometric patterns are also totally 'on trend’ this year. Curved-shaped marbles – such as the Verde Luano, Donatello or Arabescato Orobico – and natural stone placed in hexagon mosaic or herringbone motif will undoubtedly create a ‘wow’ effect in your kitchen, bathroom or living room. We're already excited to try it out!
