Adding decorative stones to your flooring project can be just the thing it needs to really make it pop. An occasional decorative stone can bring interest and elegance to any floor, or tiling project whether it’s a backsplash or a bathroom.
Decorative stones can include an occasional diamond shaped stone of a different type and color than the rest of the flooring, or they can be entire mosaics that cover your kitchen’s backsplash or shower. Mosaic tiles are a clump of tiny tiles that may or may not be uniform in shape, but are often random in color. Even if it’s just a strip of mosaic tiles, they add just enough color to a project to really bring out the beauty and pull everything together.

Think about an elegantly done bathroom. Don’t you generally imagine a spa like atmosphere? Something that looks serene and inviting. That look can’t be achieved with just white walls and fixtures. Natural and decorative stones bring that warm, inviting look to any setting, including bathrooms. Just picture yourself standing under that rain showerhead surrounded by beauty in a perfectly decorated shower. It no longer contains uniform ceramic tiles, but natural and decorative stone work in soothing earth tones that creates an atmosphere suited only for relaxation.
Even typical stones like marble and granite can be considered decorative when added to a project sparingly. For example, a cream colored marble floor can go from uniform and almost sterile looking, to elegant by adding a touch of dark colored granite diamond shapes to the pattern.
Perhaps you simply want to add a decorative stone border to your project. Companies like Stoneline Group offer a huge variety of unique stone borders to give your project that extra element of elegance. Stone borders along the edge of a backsplash or added along the top of the shower or backsplash can bring just the right amount of interest to the room, without overpowering it the way using too many mosaics can. As with any decorative stone, moderation is the key to adding sophistication to your project.
Decorative stones can also help define a space. Maybe you want to use the same natural stone throughout the floors of your kitchen and dining room areas. However, the dining room should be a bit more stylish than the kitchen. It’s a formal eating area, not to be confused with the casual food preparation area the kitchen represents. So, to raise the elegance level in the dining room, you add a few decorative stones to the flooring. Now, you have two well defined spaces that flow easily from one to the other.
