DESIGN IDEAS & TIPS

kelly scully's design tip

A full-height backsplash can really highlight the beauty of the stone – think of the stunning veining in marbles or the earthy tones of natural stones.

lauren yarbrough's design tip

Outdoor spaces should feel connected and intentional. The grass wall adds a natural touch, while the limestone pavers ground the design. The porcelain tile ties it all together, adding just the right amount of personality to the space.

Marshanda Pinchok's design tip

Every great room starts with a well thought-out layout. We always plan for oversized walkways in a kitchen and work zones to allow for multiple people to work in the space together.

Christine Cook's design tip

When using warm and cool colors in a space, make sure there is one piece that has both and it will all tie in together.

heather huebner's design tip

All of the elements in a room should work together to create a well balanced look. View the items in a room as layers. Consider what you want to draw attention to first, second, third, and so on.

All Zellige everywhere! You really can’t go wrong with anything from the Tiles of Ezra collection. We love creating handmade, custom mosaics.

fran keenan's design tip

When picking slabs, always remember the veining is more dramatic when looking at it on the vertical. When it’s installed horizontally, the veining is always more subtle.

dy lynne dabney's design tip

The vent hood is a striking focal point, often seen before the range itself. Invest in its beauty! Treat it like a high end piece of jewelry, worth the extra expense.

joni spear's design tip

Ensure your island commands center stage. When purchasing slabs for an island, always select pieces that speak to you.

marigold house's design tip

Stone slabs are not limited to countertops. Can’t find that piece of furniture with the wow factor to complete your space? Let’s design it! We worked with our local stone fabricator to create this stunning Calacatta Viola Marble desk. Because marble is very heavy, we made sure to design the desk in a way that it can be disassembled and moved if need be.

jama ketcham's design tip

We love using historical inspiration in a more modern way, like creating a large backsplash and shelf in a kitchen which is reminiscent of an antique wash basin. Historical nods are always a good idea.

march + MAY'S design tip

If a slab isn’t big enough to cover an entire space – book match it! This shower is book matched Calacatta Vagli on the walls, but this application also works for large kitchen islands. While we try to avoid seams when we can on kitchen counters, sometimes the look packs more punch with the book match!

jennifer vought's design tip

I’m all about products that incorporate textures. Whether it be countertops, wall tile, wallpaper or wood…this adds a dimensional element to your design.

kat bailey's design tip

I find it interesting that using thicker countertops creates an illusion of a hearty block of stone that is different than your typical countertops.

katelyn irizarry's design tip

Don’t be afraid to select materials with texture. Beyond choosing something that appeals to the eye, I love installing honed or leathered stone. It adds an unexpected element to the design and always provides an “oooh!” moment.
