When you visit our Salt Lake City showroom, our team of expert surface specialists can discuss a wide range of ideas with you to get your creative juices flowing. If you’re interested in using stone for your upcoming home redesign project, the following applications have been trending recently.

Stone Showers

If you’re trying to achieve a more upscale appearance in your bathroom, stone showers are an excellent option. They’ve become very popular over the last few years due to their immense beauty and high levels of durability. Stone showers deliver an exotic and luxurious feel that will continue to look great for years to come.

You can choose from a wide range of stones. For a more classic look, you may want to consider marble. You can also opt for exotic granites and travertines that will provide a dramatic appearance. Every stone slab possesses unique patterns, textures and colors, giving your shower a truly one-of-a-kind feel.

Stone showers are not only elegant and beautiful, but they’re also highly functional. Stone is naturally resistant to water and staining, making it a great option for high moisture environments such as a shower. Minimal maintenance is required, and the durability of stone ensures your shower will look great for many years. If you’d like to elevate your bathing experience and feel like you’re in a luxurious spa, stone showers are an excellent choice.

Stone Backsplashes

While stone countertops are the most popular use of stone in kitchens, there are other ways to bring this important room to life with a beautiful stone feature. Stone backsplashes make a great stand-alone feature, and they are also a beautiful complement to stone countertops. With a stone backsplash, you can achieve a more elegant aesthetic that will enhance the enjoyment of your meal prep.

You have virtually limitless possibilities when choosing a stone backsplash for your kitchen. Quartzite delivers a sleek, modern aesthetic, while textured slate is a great option if you’re looking for more of an earthy, rustic feel. Regardless of the stone slab you choose, your backsplash will give your kitchen a more unique character, helping to bring the room to life. Not only can you use a stone backsplash to complement your countertops, but it can also provide a stunning counterpoint to other features of your kitchen, such as your cabinets.

As with stone showers, stone backsplashes are highly functional. Many stone materials heat-, stain- and moisture-resistant, ensuring that your backsplash will provide the durability you need in a kitchen feature. With stunning beauty and ease of maintenance, it’s no surprise that stone backsplashes have become very popular in recent years.

Bookmatched Stone

If you’d like to add a feature to your home that highlights the artistry and craftsmanship of fine stone fabricator, then you may want to consider bookmatched stone. Bookmatching involves cutting and arranging stone slabs in a manner that creates symmetrical designs and mirror-like patterns. Very few stone design techniques have the ability to deliver the jaw dropping visual impact of bookmatched stone, and this is one of the primary reasons it has become such a popular option in recent years.

You can use bookmatched stone in a variety of applications throughout your home, including:

• As an artistic statement in living spaces and entryways
• As a captivating feature wall
• As an eye-catching fireplace surround
