Creating a powerful look by changing up the color or texture of a single wall is one of the most effective tools when it comes to decor. Painting a wall in a bold color is the most common method people use, but using natural stone or natural stone tiles can have an even larger impact.

Natural stone and natural stone tiles are available in so many colors and textures and are most commonly associated with redecorating or revamping a fireplace. But it’s time to think bigger for making one wall stand out and become the visual focal point of any space. Using this inspiration on a wall which separates a living room area from bedrooms or a home office can provide added, and natural, sound insulation. This can help for families who enjoy entertaining but want a way for their children or other family members to be able to relax.

Small spaces can especially benefit from this approach. Tiling a wall in a small bathroom or home office with natural stone helps to create a warm and cozy feeling without making the space feel crowded or claustrophobic. In a bathroom, accenting with stone on the wall behind the sink works as a way to enhance the space and provide a natural back splash.

While stone does imbue an area with a natural and environmental beauty, not all stone is created equal. Rough cut, rounded edges may give a space a truly country or outdoorsy feel, but marble, granite, slate and other smoother stone options can add the modern and elegant look you might be going for. Use granite or marble to line a shower and people won’t be thinking of the outdoors necessarily, they’ll be too busy being impressed by the smooth lines and ultra-modern feel stone can provide.

Stone is one of the most surprising materials when it comes to home decoration. By simply focusing on color, texture and the type of cut, anyone can find an option that works for them and their space. Choosing natural stone or natural stone tiles for any indoor makeover opens a world of possibilities while creating a link between your home and the world around it.
