Best Natural Stone Applications For The Home
When thinking about adding natural stone to your home, you’re likely thinking of kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities. However there are many other ways to add beautiful natural stone applications to enhance your interior. At E.W. Granite & Marble, we’ve installed natural stone in a number of rooms in the home and have created a list of some of the top places homeowners are installing stone in their homes.
Shower Walls
Natural stone is an extremely popular choice for shower walls. Whether the shower features a full stone slab or natural stone tiles, it’s a gorgeous way to boost the appearance of your bathrooms. There’s no need to purchase special cleaning products for these shower walls, just make sure they stay clean and mildew free with some gentle soap and TLC. Don’t forget to make sure your shower features a clear glass door or else that natural stone won’t get the attention it deserves.
Flooring
Kitchen floors, bathroom floors and mudrooms are popular places for natural stone applications; however these rooms are also high-traffic areas. When considering natural stone flooring for any of these rooms, select a more durable natural stone like granite or slate. While the softer stones like marble and limestone could certainly be used for flooring, they require more care and maintenance, like regular sealing, to ensure they last for years to come.
Fireplace Surround
Adding a natural stone fireplace surround is one way to bring your living room from old school to modern. Natural stone will add a unique and classy element to the room, so make sure it will fit in with the entire home’s aesthetics before making the upgrade. For example, a marble fireplace surround doesn’t quite fit with a rustic theme, but if you’re going for the modern look, natural stone will help you get there.
