Natural stone has been around for hundreds of years and has
been used in some of the world’s oldest, most iconic buildings
such as the Taj Mahal in India and the Sacre Cour Church in
France.
Today, it is still a material in demand in the interior design
and home renovation sector and has gained a reputation
for bringing a timeless, chic and classic look to many homes
around the world. Equally though, natural stone can be used
to create stunning contemporary spaces with a modern design
touch.
Luxurious underfoot
For spaces looking to make a grand statement, honed stone
flooring is one of the most luxurious types of finish available
and will instantly create a contemporary feel. Choosing a
warm, rich stone such as Moleanos Classic Beige limestone
creates instant finesse and elegance. The delicate shell
detailing, adds interest and its versatility makes it a practical
solution for walls and floors.
Contemporary patterns
One of the best things about working with natural stone is
that you can be creative in how you choose to use them. With
clever planning, it’s possible to mix colours to create patterns
and re-create popular design trends such as geometric or
industrial.
Whilst creating manmade bespoke tiles may be beyond
many budgets, using many of today’s design resources
such as Pinterest, Houzz and Room Edit, it is easy to draw
inspiration as to how natural stone can be installed to create
contemporary and eye catching features.
Rugged fresh style
The words rustic and rugged could be considered a
juxtaposition in terms of design styles when you think of
contemporary modern interiors, but - there is a trend at the
moment for mixing natural materials and sleek furnishings
together to create a modern antiqued look.
One of the most versatile natural stone products for achieving
this is the split face stone cladding panels. These vary-profiled
3D wall panels are fixed direct to the wall and instantly
revitalise and transform spaces.
