You may not previously have considered having natural stone in your bathroom. But it can work wonders in terms of bringing the beauty of the outside world indoors. This stuff’s unique colours, textures and patterns create an ambience of tranquility and elegance. So in many ways it’s the ideal choice for this key area of your home. Here, we offer some tips for harnessing the potential of natural stone so you create your perfect, relaxing retreat.
Choose your colours
Natural stone such as marble, granite or limestone comes in a varied palette of colours from which to take your pick. Or you may want to consider earthy tones, from warm beiges to gentle greys. Because these imitate the hues of the natural world, you’ll increase the feeling of serenity in your bathroom.
Alternatively, you could go for something like blue, green or pink or a neutral shade. There are so many different options on offer.
Embrace textures and patterns
With natural stone, there are also myriad patterns and textures available. Go for speckled, veined or marbled patterns to give your bathroom character and depth. Dramatic patterns make the stone a focal point of the space.
Finish it off
Whatever finish you choose for the natural stone in your bathroom, it will make a significant difference. A polished finish makes the space feel brighter and more open by reflecting light. If you prefer something softer, a honed finish gives a matte look for a more nuanced, cosy effect.
Balancing other elements
It’s worth having your natural stone choice complement your space’s other elements. So, for example, ensure it suits your fixtures, any cabinets and even lighting. If you manage to strike the right balance with everything, you will create a more cohesive look, plus the overall effect can be very calming.
Continuing the natural theme
You can enhance the theme of the natural world in your bathroom by incorporating artwork focusing on natural scenes, or just add plants. And this will complement the natural stone elements, while strengthening the feeling of tranquility and rejuvenation.
