Successful interior design creates aesthetically pleasing and healthy indoor environments that enhance how we live, work, and play

Since many of us spend the majority of our time indoors, it is important that the spaces we inhabit support health, productivity and happiness.

From uber-renewable bamboo, to hard woods that develop rich patinas over time, it is no secret that nature produces some of the most beautiful building materials around. But out of all of natural building materials available on our planet, time has proven stone to be the most resilient, luxurious, and longest-lasting of them all. Its ability to resist rot, mold, extreme temperatures and water damage, coupled with a low need for maintenance, makes natural stone a great choice throughout the home.

Designers and homeowners often choose stone for flooring and walls due to its durability and resistance to wear and tear, but nowhere is natural stone more popular than in kitchens and bathrooms, where its moisture-resisting properties really shine.
