Natural stone for interior design

Floors, walls, countertops and details that bring natural character indoors.

Overview

Bringing stone inside

Interior stone is as much about feel as appearance: the cool surface of a floor, the weight of a countertop, the pattern of veining in a feature wall.

Choose stone by room. Kitchens need hard, stain-resistant surfaces; bathrooms need low-slip, easy-clean stone; living areas can use softer, more decorative stone.

Natural stone in the home

Every natural stone is unique. Interiors benefit from choosing by room and by how the space is used.

Use samples in the actual lighting of the room before deciding. Stone changes with light, and a sample viewed in daylight, evening and artificial light shows its true range. Ask for slab or tile reference images where available.
