Calming tones for a visual sense of space
When it comes to natural stone, there is a distinct preference for fair-tinted, grey and beige tones in 2024. These calming colours create a sense of space and serenity, making them a perfect match for the minimalist aesthetics that are popular in contemporary design. This trend seamlessly aligns with the so-called Japandi style, a harmonious fusion of Scandinavian minimalism and Japanese zen.

Rugged look, warm tones: a bold mix of texture & colours
Materials with a rugged appearance and warm tones are also enjoying a resurgence. This contrasting combination adds depth and character to any interior, while still retaining a sense of homeliness and warmth. Create a bold interior with a powerful impact using natural stone. Natural stone presents the perfect opportunity to make a statement. A whimsical interplay of dark and light, with occasional gold accents. Or hints of green that emphasise nature as a source of inspiration. A polished gloss finish can add an extra dimension in this regard. And the combination of gloss and matt finishes ensures a captivating dynamic.
