Pictures of architectural and home design elements from stone

Just look at these pictures of natural stone and artificial stone inspired architectural details and furniture from private homes, public spaces, and large business centers. We hope that by browsing the photos, you will not only have fun but also find it easier to decide on the type of stone and design for your next project. Some increasing home decoration trends in our region this year are sleek accent walls and partitions from thin porcelain and ceramic slabs, elegant engineered quartz windowsills, and dramatically patterned fireplace surrounds from natural and sintered stone. In public places, the most popular material remains acrylic solid surface. 

The most commonly used natural stone for interior projects is marble. When seeing the variety of marble colors and subtle vein patterns, it's easy to understand why. The serenity of light marble provides elegance and lightness to the space, while dark marble patterns add to classical luxury. Take a stroll through the photo gallery and you will see for yourself. 

Granite and quartzite stand out not only for their looks, but also due to their hardness and durability. These stones often surprise with fabulous colors and patterns. The impressive onyx slabs are appreciated by interior designers for their translucency and unique wavy patterns. When light shines through onyx walls and partitions from the other side, they resemble a softly glowing underwater world.

Elegant and durable artificial stone countertops rival natural stone products in their beauty. Engineered quartz, sintered stone, ceramics, and porcelain details can turn homes into fancy places. These man-made surfaces are highly practical and easy to maintain, as they are non-porous and do not absorb liquids. All you will need in the kitchen is a sponge, soap, and water. Such countertops won't stain even if you spill some beetroot juice, red wine or sprinkle curry on them. You can forget about stone waxes, sealants and impregnators.

In architectural projects for public spaces, acrylic solid surface is particularly popular. You'll be surprised how well acrylic solid surface works in hotels, restaurants, swimming pools and health clinics. Worktops made from Corian, Staron, Meganite, Grandex and other brands of solid surface do not release chemical compounds into environment, so allergy sufferers can have such furniture at home. Acrylic stone products meet all hygiene requirements for restaurants and medical facilities. Hospitals and surgery rooms are often equipped with sinks and worktops made of acrylic solid surface. This material is virtually maintenance-free!
