Emma Holten's Inspired Elegance in Stone Interiors

In the ever-evolving world of interior design, the allure of stone remains timeless. Inspired by the elegance and activism of Emma Holten, this blog series by StoneLab Stone Interiors delves into the captivating universe of customized stone solutions. Our mission is to help you discover how stone can transform your home into a masterpiece of design and functionality, all while aligning with sustainable practices.

The Unique Qualities of Stone

Choosing the right stone for your home can elevate the aesthetic appeal and add unparalleled durability. Here’s a look at some popular stone types and their uses:

  • Granite: Known for its strength and variety of colors, granite is perfect for countertops and floors. Its natural beauty adds depth and warmth to kitchens and bathrooms.

  • Marble: Synonymous with luxury, marble’s veining and gloss make it ideal for countertops and walls. While it requires more care, the timeless elegance it brings is worth the extra attention.

  • Quartz: Engineered to offer a combination of beauty and resilience, quartz is a low-maintenance option for those seeking a modern look.

  • Slate: Perfect for flooring and wall cladding, slate’s earthy tones create a rustic charm, making it a favorite for minimalist designs.

The design landscape is seeing a shift from minimalist aesthetics to bold stone patterns, inspired by visionaries like Emma Holten who blend art with activism. Here are some trends to consider:

  • Minimalism with a Twist: Clean lines and subtle hues continue to dominate, but with a focus on unique textures and finishes.

  • Dramatic Veining: Bold, dramatic veining patterns are making a statement, adding a touch of drama to any space.

  • Sustainable Sourcing: Eco-conscious consumers are opting for stones sourced responsibly, a practice steadfastly followed by StoneLab.

Choosing the Right Stone

Selecting the right stone involves considering the space and its function. Here are some tips:

  • Kitchens: Opt for durable and heat-resistant stones like granite or quartz.

  • Bathrooms: Marble or granite can add spa-like luxury, but ensure they are sealed properly to resist moisture.

  • Living Spaces: Slate or travertine can create inviting floors and feature walls.

Care and Maintenance

To keep your stone surfaces looking pristine:

  • Regularly clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
  • Use coasters and trivets to prevent stains and scratches.
  • Seal surfaces as recommended to maintain their luster and protection.
