The idea of using natural stone in the bathroom is nothing new and this material has been the symbol of elegance since old times. Because of its exquisite qualities and broad spectrum of usage, natural stone can become part of your bathroom in any form. One of the universal usages of stone tiles is as flooring or as a combination of floor and wall tiles. In recent years quite popular are bathtubs and sinks made of marble or granite and even more exotic semi-precious stones such as amethyst. The variety of stones allows you to choose the proper shades and nuances that match your overall design concept. This natural material is suitable to recreate both old, romantic looks, rustic atmosphere or sleek and ultramodern décor. Today we will focus on two options out of this deep pool of natural stone suggestions – the stone wall as an accent and the combination of stone in different parts of the bathroom. We hope to help you find your elegant natural stone bathroom solution in the images below.
Stone wall
One of the most stylish options for decorating your bathroom is the stone wall. There is a variety of solutions that you can opt for depending on the style you have chosen. You can choose an exposed stone wall or glacier cladding to complete the stunning atmosphere of your bathroom. The combination with wood, copper or ceramic tiles helps you improve the overall décor.
