6 Tips for Designing with Stone-Look Tile
Share:
The latest looks from leading home design brands like Restoration Hardware, West Elm, and CB2 have a common thread: the extensive use of stone visuals. Stone is making a striking comeback, not just as an accent but as a central theme in home design. The trend is right in synch with the launch of CALI's Shorebreak collection which offers highly realistic stone-look laminate tiles that are perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and beyond. Shorebreak tiles are easy to install, simple to keep clean, and completely waterproof – all while capturing the essence of popular stones like marble, slate, and travertine. Read on for DIY ideas on designing with stone-look tile in your home.
1
Keep it Natural
Organic décor is your best friend when you're working with stone-look tiles. Enhance the natural feel with indoor plants, wooden elements, and natural fiber decorations. These additions will help create a seamless blend of nature and elegance in your space.
2
Maintain a Neutral Palette
The subtle beauty of stone textures shines brightest against a backdrop of natural creams and earth tones. Keeping your color palette neutral allows the intricate patterns of the stone to take center stage, making a statement without overwhelming the senses.
3
Mix Textures
A home should feel as good as it looks. Mixing textures like wood, metal, and glass with softer textiles (think rugs, cushions, and throws) introduces warmth and depth. This diversity in textures complements the stone-look tile and adds a cozy, inviting feel to your rooms.
4
Easy on the Patterns
When it comes to patterns, less is more. Overly busy patterns and ornate décor can clash with the stone's natural elegance. Opt for simple, elegant pieces that harmonize with the stone textures, ensuring a sophisticated and refined interior.
5
Embrace Area Rugs
Area rugs are a wonderful way to define spaces within your home. They bring in softer textures and add a touch of comfort. A well-chosen area rug can balance the overall look and feel, especially against the backdrop of stone-look flooring.
6
Choose Minimalism
The inherent beauty of stone-look tile thrives in a minimalist setting. Select furniture and décor that boast clean, simple lines. This approach reduces visual clutter and highlights the intricate details and natural appeal of your stone-look tiles.
Designing with stone-looktile, especially from CALI's Shorebreak collection, opens up a world of possibilities. It's not just about selecting the right tile; it's about creating a space that feels harmonious and balanced. By following these six tips, you can achieve a home that's not only on-trend but timeless in its beauty and simplicity. Embrace the natural elegance of stone-look tile and watch as your home transforms into a serene and stylish haven.
