The Art Of Stone Drenching

In a bold move, the interior design world is seeing a surge in what industry experts are calling the ‘stone drenching’ trend. The timeless allure of using stone in the home, combined with contemporary design principles has made this trend popular with homeowners and designers alike. Cullifords has the perfect offering to create powerful spaces which embody this striking trend in a sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing way.

SOPHISTICATED OPULENCE

Stone drenching takes the concept of using either natural or engineered stone beyond kitchen worktops and flooring by immersing entire rooms or key architectural elements in the beauty of stone surfaces. Designers and homeowners are choosing to drench their walls, bathrooms and furniture pieces with stone materials, such as marble, travertine, and granite. 

The interior design technique is suitable for most spaces, from bathrooms and kitchens to bedrooms and living rooms. Whether it’s a Carrara or Dante marble being used throughout the bathroom, Silver Wave marble or Costa Smeralda granite in the kitchen, or Travertine in the bedroom, designers are experimenting with different finishes, from polished and honed to more textured and raw, in order to bring an increased depth and dimension to homes.

Homeowners who are looking to invest in something which is striking and eye-catching should consider stone drenching, with its versatile nature and durability factor making it an attractive and popular choice for anywhere in the home.

“The stone drenching trend is about embracing the raw, textural quality of stone and allowing it to completely envelop the space. It offers a way to connect homes with the beauty of the outdoors, whilst creating an atmosphere which feels both grounded and timeless. For those who are looking to embrace this decorative scheme should start by focusing on a feature wall or statement piece. Consider a stone drenched shower enclosure or vanity unit in the bathroom, both of which will create a sense of calm whilst displaying a bold design statement.” Oliver Webb, Director, Cullifords
