Whether you’re landscaping a garden, building a swimming pool, or renovating an interior – choosing stonework that fits your style and design preferences is vital.
We’re celebrating 15 years of working with natural stone in 2019, so we know great materials when we see them. We’ve put together six of our favourite stones which make an impressive design statement for both interior and exterior projects.
Everyone has their own personal preferences, so take a look through our top picks to find a stone that’s right for you.
1. Barton Ash Limestone
Barton Ash is a gorgeous limestone, perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. Its lightly textured surface with sawn edges has been lovingly tumbled to achieve a wonderfully rustic and worn look.
Subtle notes of olive come through the light-grey colouring to give a soft style with timeless appeal.
Barton ash is incredibly versatile and easy to cut into all shapes and sizes to give a bespoke finish to your project.
2. Lonato Grey Porcelain
Sourced from Italy, Lonato Porcelain is the perfect material for achieving a refined and minimalist style.
Gentle marbling and delicate white veins run through each tile to soften its grey finish and create an elegant effect.
