Gorgeous limestone comes in an array of colours and patterns. And, with the right maintenance and care, it can provide many years of pleasure. What’s more, it’s pretty cost-effective, especially when compared with alternative materials. Equally, it’s versatile enough to suit a variety of interior design styles.
If you’re considering this attractive natural stone for your kitchen, here are some ideas to mull over.
Consider a farmhouse vibe
Couple elongated subway tiles with limestone countertops to bring out this look. Also think exposed timber beams and open shelving. Meanwhile, wooden accent pieces add warmth.
Throw in a dash of colour
Why not pair, say, vibrant blue cabinets with white walls and limestone countertops in their natural colour?
Stay neutral
Stick to muted, neutral shades with your limestone and you should be on to a winner. Look forward to an elegant, timeless look for your kitchen.
Go for subtle contrasts
If you opt for grey limestone worktops plus black and white elsewhere in the kitchen, you not only have a classic combination but measured colour contrast and visual weight. Add some warm wooden shelving and you will have a room that still doesn’t look cluttered.
Alternatively, of course, you could choose to go for a consistent tone and colour palette throughout your kitchen.
Don’t go overboard with limestone if you don’t want to
Love limestone but not sure you want to commit to large amounts of it? Think about using the stone sparingly, perhaps as a backsplash or in a smaller part of the kitchen that’s less used than other areas. And, talking of backsplashes, you may not be aware that you can extend your countertop into a low-level backsplash with a seamless transition.
