Natural stone is one of the most versatile materials for interiors and can be used in almost any living area. Whether as a stylish washbasin in the bathroom, a robust kitchen worktop or an impressive TV wall in the living room - the right choice of stone is crucial for longevity and impact. In addition to the aesthetic component, practical aspects such as moisture resistance, sensitivity to stains or heat resistance play an important role. Depending on the room, different natural stones from our range are suitable - onyx, granite, marble and travertine - which are not only visually impressive, but are also functionally optimally matched to the respective requirements.

Natural stone in the bathroom: which stones are moisture-resistant?

In the bathroom, natural stone is particularly popular for washbasins, wall cladding and flooring. Moisture resistance is essential here. Marble provides a luxurious look and looks particularly elegant in a polished or satin finish. It can be well protected against water if appropriately sealed, but is sensitive to acidic cleaning agents and requires regular maintenance. Granite is the ideal choice for those looking for a more resistant option. It is extremely robust, moisture-resistant and durable, making it the best choice for heavily used wet areas. Travertine brings a warm, Mediterranean atmosphere to the bathroom with its natural, slightly porous surface, but requires impregnation to make it less sensitive to moisture.

FAQ: Travertine is open-pored - isn't that a problem with moisture in the bathroom?

Travertine has a natural pore structure that gives it its characteristic appearance. To make it water-resistant, it can be treated with special impregnations. Alternatively, the pores can be filled and the surface satin-finished or polished to reduce water absorption.

In the kitchen, functionality is paramount, as a worktop must be heat-resistant, stain-resistant and hard-wearing. Granite is the first choice here, as it combines all these properties and requires little maintenance. For lovers of marble, we offer particularly hard types of marble. In addition to the material, the finish is also decisive: a polished surface brings shine and elegance to the kitchen, while a satin-finished surface offers a matt, velvety feel and is less sensitive to fingerprints. If you want to create a special highlight in the kitchen, you can use onyx as a niche splashback or for a backlit bar top to create a luxurious atmosphere.

FAQ: Marble is delicate - can it really be used in the kitchen?

Yes, it depends on the right care and surface treatment. Particularly hard types of marble and satin-finished or impregnated surfaces are much more resistant to stains and scratches than polished marble. Nevertheless, acidic foods such as lemon juice or vinegar should be wiped off quickly to avoid discoloration.

Living room: Which stones go with which style?

The living room offers a wide range of options for using natural stone in style. A marble dining table or coffee table exudes timeless elegance, while granite is a particularly easy-care and hard-wearing option. The edge finish of the table top influences the overall look: a straight, polished edge looks modern and minimalist, while a round or semi-circular edge emphasizes a more classic style. For a particularly sleek look, a beveled edge is suitable, while an attached bezel creates the illusion of a solid top. An impressive way to use natural stone in the living room is a TV wall cladding made of onyx. Thanks to its translucent structure, it can be backlit and gives the room an extraordinary, almost artistic effect.

Dressing room: Is natural stone suitable for furniture surfaces?

Natural stone can also be used specifically in the dressing room to create a luxurious ambience. A central island with an elegant natural stone top not only offers a practical storage surface, but also becomes an eye-catcher. A closet back panel made of onyx or marble using the bookmatch technique looks particularly exclusive, almost like a natural work of art. This technique, in which two consecutive panels are arranged in mirror image, creates a fascinating symmetry and enhances the effect of the natural grain.

FAQ: Doesn't a marble top on a dressing island scratch quickly?

Polished marble is more susceptible to scratches, while satin-finished surfaces are less sensitive. Regular care with mild cleaners and avoiding sharp objects will help to keep the surface flawless in the long term.

Entrance area: Which stones make an impressive statement?

The entrance area is often the first impression of a home and provides the perfect stage for natural stone. An elegant marble or granite console exudes value and style, while a bespoke travertine column adds a classic touch to the room. If you want to make an unusual statement, you can achieve a unique effect with a backlit onyx console.

Classic Silver Travertine

No matter in which living space natural stone is used - the right choice of material is crucial for longevity and effect. Onyx impresses with its extraordinary appearance and translucency, but requires careful maintenance. Granite is the most robust option and is perfect for high-traffic areas. Marble brings timeless elegance, while travertine is particularly inviting with its warm appearance. The right combination of material, surface and edge finish creates an individual and harmonious overall look that perfectly combines functionality and aesthetics.
