Natural thin stone veneer elevates your space, adding warmth, texture, and timeless beauty. But why settle for one type of stone when you can create a blend custom to you? Mixing and matching colors and shapes of natural thin stone veneer unlocks a world of design possibilities, allowing you to personalize your project and express your own style.
Color Blending with Stone Veneer
By carefully selecting and arranging stones with complementary colors, you can create a seamless transition between different hues. Let’s explore how to blend colors using Stoneyard thin stone veneer products.
Greenwich Gray: For Darker and Bolder Spaces
Greenwich Gray, with its cool, neutral tone, is a versatile choice for adding depth and sophistication to any blend. When incorporated into the warm, earthy tones of Boston Blend, it creates a more dramatic and contemporary look.
- Example: A homeowner looking to modernize their fireplace surround might choose to mix Boston Blend with a significant amount of Greenwich Gray. The darker tones of Greenwich Gray will help to darken the overall blend, creating a more sophisticated and dramatic effect.
Colonial Tan: A Brighter Outlook
On the other hand, Colonial Tan, with its warm, sandy hue, can lighten and brighten a blend. When combined with Oyster Bay, it adds more beige tones and creates a more inviting and casual atmosphere.
- Example: A homeowner seeking a lighter stone blend might choose to mix Oyster Bay with a significant amount of Colonial Tan. The warm tones of Colonial Tan will help to brighten the overall blend, creating a more cheerful and welcoming appearance.
Blending Shapes with Stone Veneer
The combination of different shapes and textures can add depth and dimension to your project. This prevents your stone design from appearing too uniform or monotonous. Ashlar, with its larger rectangular shape, provides a clean and structured look. Incorporating ledgestone, with its irregular and elongated shape, adds a more dimensional element. By blending shapes, you can create a balanced and visually appealing composition that reflects your desired style.
