Did you know that when you decorate with stone in your interior it can increase the value of your home? Natural stone is both beautiful and luxurious. It adds a feeling of warmth and sophistication. And it blends well with any interior decorating style, whether you have a casual, relaxed space or a more refined, elegant atmosphere. Here are some ideas for decorating with stone.
4 Ways to Add Stone with Interior Decorating
Build a natural stone fireplace.
The fireplace is often the focal point of a room so what better way to make a statement than a floor to ceiling stone structure that amazes your guests! With the versatility and lightweight quality of thin stone veneer, you can easily apply it to your walls or cover an existing fireplace. Plus, thin stone veneer has a wide range of colors, textures, and shapes to choose from. You can customize it for the one-of-a-kind fireplace of your dreams.
Create a gathering place around an entertainment area.
When you design a wet bar and entertainment area with stone, it will add charm that gives an inviting feeling for your guests to congregate. It is incredible how stone will change the entire perception of a space, easily converting it into country living or a modern and sophisticated haven. For a relaxed, organic appeal, consider building your bar and entertainment area using drystack stone or riverrock. For a more refined style, consider a design with a more regular, structured pattern using thin stone veneer.
Choose a wall for a dramatic backdrop.
The unique shapes and textures of stone blend in beautifully for an ideal decorative wall that accents any room and defines your space. A stone wall will warm the atmosphere while providing the perfect balance with plants and other objects. For a dramatic backdrop, select a wall along stairs or opposite from an entryway to leave a special impression with your guests and visually enhance the space. There are numerous options in building materials to fit every style. A large fieldstone or riverrock web wall pattern is a great choice for a relaxed organic appeal or a limestone or granite rubble pattern looks fabulous for a more refined style.
Bring luxurious beauty into your kitchen.
It is remarkable how adding a stone wall or building an island with stone can transform the look of your kitchen. Stone has been used since ancient times for cooking and is a natural choice for creating the ambiance of an active kitchen. It brings in the earthy tones that can coordinate stunningly with your cabinetry. And its appealing texture will set the kitchen apart for its luxurious beauty.
