Trend Focus: The Beauty Of Natural Stone
By Ana Zuravliova
Ever since the ancient days, people have loved using stone to either build or decorate their homes. Granite, quartzite, and perhaps most famously marble, have all been used to add a remarkably stylish edge to homes around the world and across the ages. In recent months, there has been a resurgence in the unique style natural stone offers, but it can often be prohibitively expensive. In today’s blog, we’ll be showcasing some more affordable ways in which you can enjoy the beauty of natural stone, especially around your windows.
Why pick stone patterns?
While stone colours are a great addition to many homes, you don’t have to opt for block colours, you can instead enjoy natural stone patterns!
Stone patterns are a great addition to many interior design styles due to their unique shapes and exceptional versatility. Like stone colours, these fabrics bring a natural, organic feel to spaces, creating a connection with nature that adds warmth and tranquillity.
The variety in colour and pattern found in stone inspired patterns allows for unique and personalised design elements, whether used for curtains, blinds, or accessories such as cushions and lamp shades. Additionally, stone patterns can complement a range of styles, from rustic and traditional to modern and minimalist, making them a flexible and affordable choice that enhances the aesthetic value and durability of any interior space.

Stone colours are excellent for home update projects because they bring a natural, timeless elegance to any space.
Their neutral tones, ranging from soft greys and warm beiges to deep browns and rich earth tones, create a versatile palette that compliments styles, from rustic to modern. There are even blueish grey shades available to add a more calming finish to your room.
Stone colours also evoke a sense of calm and connection to nature, making spaces feel grounded and serene. Their subtle energy easily adds depth and interest without overwhelming the overall design, making them a perfect choice for creating a sophisticated, harmonious environment.

Stone shades, which encompass a range of beautiful neutral tones like grey, taupe, and beige, pair perfectly with a variety of equally excellents colours. When matched correctly, you can create a balanced and harmonious space.
