    How Stone Can Add a Touch of Modern Style to Any Room of Your Home

    Stone has long been one of the foundations for home construction. Its rounded shape and smooth texture make it the perfect decorative accent for any room in your house. Use natural stones to add a touch of modern elegance to a bedroom or a bit of rustic class to a kitchen. Your possibilities are endless when you are looking to incorporate this material into everyday décor in some of the most commonly used rooms in your home.

     

    Living Room

    There are several ways of integrating stone into your living room décor to make it rustic and warm or simple and modern:

    • Installing a stone fireplace can make your living room inviting and perfect for entertaining or family gatherings. Create a tall, dramatic fireplace lined with light-colored stone as the room’s focal point. By allowing light to filter in this space, you can bring a soothing and simple yet lively touch to the room.
    • Natural stone walls in a living room can reflect a cheerful and breezy environment with a bright and natural feel. A stacked stone or accent wall is a good idea for contemporary living rooms because it prevents the area from having a dull or cold appearance.

     

    Bathroom

    The bathroom is one of those areas in a home where its elements can be strongly linked to the outdoors. Using stone in this room is a natural fit because of the freshness and texture it adds to the certain aspects of the décor being used. There are many cool ways to use stone in a bathroom:

    • A stone shower is not only a natural oasis, but it also creates an inviting sanctuary to help you relax from normal, everyday stress. You can also place stone accents around a bathtub to generate either a rustic or modern style.
    • Using small stones or pebbles as flooring creates a dramatic effect in a bathroom whether they are used to cover the entire floor or in the space in front of the sink, shower or tub. Pebbles can create a Zen oasis that can make the bathroom feel relaxing and refreshing.
    • Contemporary bathrooms are the perfect settings for natural stone elements such as sinks. If you have a small bathroom, consider a stone pedestal sink in the corner. It won’t take up much room, but adds a modern touch.

     

    Bedroom

    Using natural stone in a kitchen will make a statement about you and how you value cooking for your family and friends. This is the room in your house where you eat, bake holiday cookies, do homework and more. In many ways, it is the center of the home, and it should have tons of personality. Stone can help you create a loving and inviting environment with these designs:

    • Natural stone countertops are extremely popular in today’s kitchens. Granite, marble and quartz are sought after by many home cooks because they are not only beautiful, but durable.
    • If you have a breakfast bar in your kitchen, consider adding stone on its front and side panels to create an amazing focal point. It definitely creates a rustic, homey feeling in this room.
    • Finally, designing a natural stone backsplash adds a striking balance in your kitchen. Depending on the type of stone and color you choose, you can create something elegant or classic, depending on your taste.

     

    Using stone on the interior of your home can create an atmosphere that can be luxurious and rustic or charming and inviting. It can transform your home from a country ranch to a contemporary and modern haven.
