STONE TRENDS:
Marble: Classic + Bold
One of the most popular trends of 2021 was the love for Natural Stone. It’s official: stone slabs are here to stay as a natural and timeless material that has been used for centuries. In particular, marble is elegant and timeless, exuding luxury and sophistication making it a great option to use in bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas of the home where design longevity is required. A duo that never goes out of style, Calacatta & Carrara marble. These have all the characteristics of what many people consider classic marble – milky white backgrounds, thick grey veining, and the luxe appeal.

Bold, heavily veined marbles are making their way into the design world as well. Kilimanjaro marble is a very visually striking stone with rich veins that seem to almost illustrate a river moving through. Complimenting both dark and light neutrals, this stone will outlast any trend. This marble works great in both residential and commercial projects where distinctive design and wow factor are desired. You can never have too much marble!

While marble is a terrific natural stone, there are plenty of marble alternatives you can find. One popular option is engineered stone. Quartz is typically suitable for countertops, walls, and floors. It’s available in large formats, is durable and stain resistant and therefore easy to maintain. Architectural Surfaces offers two Quartz lines- MetroQuartz® and PentalQuartz®.
