When you choose custom stone, you are investing in a timeless material that brings unapparelled resiliency, beauty, and value to your home. However, in a world with a vast array of design choices available, how do you make sure your custom stone selections will complement your design for a cohesive design approach?
We’ve put together a practical guide to help you in your journey of designing a harmonized, balanced look that highlights your custom stone’s natural beauty and your home’s overall style.
Discover Your Style
Before choosing a specific stone type, think about the architectural and interior design style of your home:
- Traditional homes are known to showcase warmer tones — Lustrous marble, travertine, or limestone can pair beautifully with this home type
- Modern homes welcome striking stones like quartzite or granite in neutral shades including white, gray, or black.
Consider Complimentary Colour Schemes
In order to create a design flow between your custom stone and it’s surroundings, think about the prominent colours on display within your home. Keys to finding the right match include:
- Seek the undertones. Rather than matching colours directly with your cabinetry, floors or wall paint, pick up on general hues to help in your custom stone selection.
- Use contrasting colours strategically. Choosing darker stone countertop in a bright bathroom can add striking depth to the space while a lighter stone can visually open up smaller spaces.
- Play with light. We welcome you to pick up a sample or two from our showroom. Taking a custom stone sample home to view in both artificial and natural light can greatly aid in your final selection.
