4 benefits of using stone in your bathroom

It’s time to refresh your bathroom. Whether a clean, fresh aesthetic is your style, or you prefer a unique, more colourful décor, there are many reasons you should consider using stone in your home. 

We chat to Steve Vanhinsbergh, director of stoneCIRCLE in Basingstoke, who reveals four benefits of building your bathroom with natural stone.

1. A luxurious finish 

Stone has been used in bathrooms and homes for centuries, promising to provide a timeless, classic look. This is also very luxurious, but can be adapted to suit your own style, depending on the type and colour of stone chosen.

2. Stone is incredibly long-lasting 

You can create a beautiful, easy to maintain bathroom using stone surfaces, which will outlast most other materials, and is environmentally friendly too.

It’s a worthwhile and long-term investment which will be the envy of your friends.

3. Mix and match colours and patterns to suit your taste 

Coloured bathroom décor is becoming increasingly popular now, with many opting for a ‘showstopper’ design that’ll impress their guests. We can offer book matching (where the veins in the marble mirror each other) and vein matching (where the marble veins wrap continue from one slab to the next) for a dramatic effect. It’s also sometimes possible to continue the vein matching from the wall onto the floor for a real statement look.

White marble with a grey or black vein is a classic look and can be combined with black marble with white veining for a monochrome effect.  But if a bolder design is more your style, we have a variety of stunning colour options available for you to pick from or combine.

4. Create a bespoke design to suit your needs

Everything that stoneCIRCLE does is made to measure in the stone of the client’s choice, meaning that they can create something that is unique to them and suits their personal taste.

We offer a variety of different ways to personalise your bathroom design through vanity tops and units, wall cladding, flooring, splash backs and shower trays. For example, whether you want a vanity top with a basin cut out, or made for a bowl to sit on top, we can change the design to cater to your needs. We can also fabricate vanity tops with built in stone basins.
