Harnessing the Beauty of Exotic Stone

Last updated 4 months ago

Although they are all made, found, and quarried from the earth, natural stone exists in thousands of types and variations. While some are understated and simple in appearance, others feature exotic colors, textures, and tones. Using exotic stone in your home can help to highlight dramatic architectural features or to create a design statement all its own. Talk to the natural stone experts at IMC Stone to learn more about our inventory of exotic stones and how to use exotic stones in your own home.

Where To Use Exotic Stone: Like their simpler counterparts, exotic stones can be used just about anywhere in the home. Depending on where and how they are installed, exotic stones can be a design centerpiece or simply add an accented layer of texture or depth. Present a dramatic welcome in the foyer, create a focal point with your kitchen backsplash, or enliven a small bathroom with exotic stone countertops.
Dramatic Accents: While you may not want to make too bold a statement, you can create conversation using exotic stone accents. Use exotic stone sparingly throughout your floors and walls, or install slab backsplashes for a hint of drama. Exotic stones in neutral palettes like Elegant Dune or Golden Nettuno can be installed as kitchen countertops as elegant showcase pieces.
Lighting: Whether you use much or little of it, exotic stone displays itself beautifully in light. Consider installing soft, yellow accent lights to highlight the gold tones in Orion or Carnivale stone. White accent lights can also bring the beauty of darker stones into relief.
