While countertop design is a cornerstone of our business, we also have many happy clients who have worked with us to utilize our incredible stone and fine craftsmanship beyond the typical places in their homes and businesses, like outside of the kitchen. Explore ideas here on how to use quartz, granite, marble, and other stone to create a unique focal point, use remnants, or set a new tone for an entire space!
Living Room
Fireplaces suit granite and other stone incredibly well, as exposure to heat over extended lengths of time does not cause damage. When adorning a fireplace with stone, some popular ways are on the hearth, corbels, mantel and mantel shelf.
While a completely stone coffee table takes a special kind of space, a stone table-top is more adaptable to different styles. It is both beautiful and resistant to spills.
Closets
Master bedroom walk-in closets are perfect for stone additions. Bring light, drama, and focus into these smaller spaces with a slab which matches your personality (or your shoes)!
Laundry Room
Doing laundry is no one's favorite chore but the task is certainly less daunting when the room is aesthetically pleasing! Stone countertops create a feel of freshness and establish specific areas for separating and folding clothes.
Mudroom
This dumping ground of coats, shoes, and sports equipment sees a lot of traffic. Adding a seating area, countertop space or backsplash can transform this often overlooked area into a functional haven.
Office
Custom desktops and accent tables create a sophisticated space to receive clientele and conduct online meetings. The perfect place for neutrality, clean and precise countertop design is professionalism to the max.
Craft Room
Ease of cleaning is truly important for crafters working with hot glue, washi tape, and other sticky elements. Plus, even when the room is filled with yarn, paint, beads, and stickers, creative chaos always looks better on stone!
Bathroom
Although countertop design often extends from the kitchen into the bathroom, there are other places in this space which benefit from stone due to the heavy exposure to moisture. Walls, vanity tops/backsplashes, and cutout shower walls are all perfect places for a unique slab of stone to infuse style.
Dining Room
Granite's heat-resistance is helpful here, as hot pots and drinks can be placed directly on the top of a granite dining table without worry that the table itself will singe.
Patio
Seating areas, tables, and flooring accents are all great ideas for using stone on the patio. Those with a kitchen, grill, or island also love using our stone here.
