Stone inspirations: walls unlike any other

When planning the interior, it is worth starting the project with arranging the walls. They will be the background and create the right atmosphere. The stone adds elegance, and at the same time becomes a distinguishing feature. Jolanta Trytko-Warczak, a specialist in natural stone, conglomerates and quartz sinters in the EGA Group, tells us how to choose it for the interior.

An interesting solution for the arrangement of the wall in the interior will be the use of natural stone. This exclusive material, thanks to the unique patterns and rich colors, from light beige to dark brown and black, will work in any style. When deciding to use granite, marble or travertine, you should pay attention to the size of the interior in which it will be used.

In a spacious living room, stone decorations on the entire wall will be perfect. Marble, which is characterized by subtle veining, perfectly complements the arrangement. Such a solution may be suitable as a background for home elements, e.g. a TV set. Granite will be perfect for finishing the fireplace. It is durable and resistant to mechanical factors. It is worth using this material not only for the casing of the fireplace itself, but also for the entire wall on which it is located. You can use a marriage of natural stones and create a composition in any color.

Stone accessories can be integrated even in the bedroom: they will create, for example, an original headboard for the bed. In smaller rooms, it is worth focusing on small forms that can be used to create a stone mosaic or picture. Travertine, which is a decoration in itself, will be perfect here: in its structure there are often the remains of plants and animals. Thanks to it, you can create a unique, unrepeatable effect. In addition to its aesthetic qualities, natural stone is distinguished by its durability and ease of cleaning.

Stone trends are also worth using in the kitchen or bathroom. Due to the high humidity, experts recommend sintered stone wall coverings, which are characterized by minimal water absorption. Lapitec ^® is a good example. It is formed into large boards that are easy to adapt to the interior design. “ Its surface does not absorb liquids ,” explains Jolanta Trytko-Warczak from the EGA Group.

Unlike ordinary ceramic tiles, sintered stone is more resistant to stains and does not allow bacteria or mold to nest. When using Lapitec ^® in interiors, it can also be used as tiles for floors and kitchen or bathroom countertops. This will allow you to use one shade of stone throughout the room, not just on the walls.

Thanks to this, you can get the effect of an exclusive SPA in the bathroom. Lovers of minimalism can reach for stone solutions in the kitchen. A wide range of colors is available on the market. From shades of arctic white, desert sand to browns and blacks reminiscent of the color of wet earth. The variety of structures of the sintered stone finish, from silky to brushed surfaces, will allow you to freely arrange the room.

Using natural stones or Lapitec ^® in the interiors, you can arrange the walls in an original way. Unlike ordinary solutions such as painting, wallpapering or tiling, these materials are more durable and easier to maintain. They can be used both as part of a wall decoration and on the entire surface.
