Tips For Decorating With Stone Inside Your Home

​Incorporating stone inside the home is a timeless, classic way to spruce up your interior decor. Stone also provides for great sound absorption, durability, and low maintenance upkeep. Here are 3 different tips for decorating your house using stone:
 
A Rustic Feel


• Stone fireplaces add coziness and comfort to living rooms and bedrooms, and make for an impressive main focal point in a home


• A stone stairwell with a stone wall creates a great rustic atmosphere for you when walking throughout your home


• For a country feel, use rock walls instead of stone, and mix textures for an eclectic look 


• Include warm toned stones with earthy colors and rugged textures.


 
An Elegant Look
 

• Choose smooth stone flooring with brightly colored walls to create an elegant look


• Opt for using only one wall of stones for a large room, creating a minimalist and modern feel


• Use stones that have cool, muted tones and have monochromatic colors that can blend easily with furniture and room color palettes, providing an elegant atmosphere


• Mix rough textured stone walls or backsplash with modern amenities 


• Smooth stone walls and floors create calming and soothing bathroom environments, and are sleek to the touch


 
Finding A Balance
 
Too much rock or stone within your home can make a house feel more like a dungeon than a castle. Try mixing stone or rock elements with other materials such as wood or concrete. Brighten up a dark colored stone room with colorful rugs. Construct stone walls within rooms that contain large windows, providing a bright and airy atmosphere. As you blend stone flooring or walls with other textures or colors, you’ll bring a better balance to your home!
