Texture in Modern Design

With Natural Thin Stone Veneer

Thin stone veneer offers a unique way to add texture to a modern design. Natural stone blends well with the more neutral color palette often used in contemporary aesthetics. With the use of clean lines and minimalism, a modern design relies on natural materials for layering to ensure that the overall appearance of a room is visually interesting.

The Appeal of Texture in Modern Design

 What are the elements of modern design? We often find contemporary homes or buildings feature clean, straight lines, minimalism, and neutral color palettes. It’s about elevating a blank canvas with the less is more approach. You won’t often find modern designs with bold colors or prints or a room filled with a lot of furniture and knick knacks.

Because of this “less is more” approach, modern design needs texture to prevent a room from appearing flat or stark. Texture can add depth and dimension to a room while also creating a feeling of warmth. Nature and texture go hand and hand. Natural stone, wood, wool, and woven material are all common examples of natural textures used in modern design. 

Nature’s Touch: Thin Stone Veneer in Modern Design

Thin stone veneer is a practical and versatile way to incorporate texture into a design. Our thin stone veneer collection ranges in color from warm beiges to cool-toned grays or even black. With this variety of color, you are bound to find a stone to match the colorscape of your design. Natural stone veneer also comes in a variety of shapes: round, square and rectangular, mosaic, ledgestone, and ashlar. Each shape provides its own unique texture.

The benefit of using natural thin stone veneer over building veneer is its ease of use and installation. Thin stone veneer is lighter, weighing 14 lbs or less, which means it can easily adhere to any structurally sound wall. Although thin veneer is lighter in weight, you still get the same high quality stone as building veneer. Therefore, you can anticipate a durable, long lasting addition to your modern design.
