Using a brick wall as a room divider can really elevate your space. The feature becomes part of two rooms and will look best in common spaces or social areas. This feature can increase visual appeal, as it becomes part of your decor and can improve a room’s functionality.

By far one of the most popular ways to integrate stone indoors is to use it as a feature when designing a fireplace. It’s an easy way to create a cosy and warm atmosphere, which is something that lots of people aim to achieve in this space. They usually work as accent features and add a rustic yet contemporary touch when placed next to white walls.

Outdoors

A classic focal point for the garden is a water feature. People love these as they can help create a serene and tranquil ambience. With a gorgeous eye-catching stacked stone water feature, you can integrate some of your interior style outdoors. Regardless of what sort of stone you go for, the end result will give your garden a sophisticated look and feel.

The great part about using natural stone in outdoor areas is that it will gradually take on a sturdy yet earthy appearance, making your garden feel like an intimate and inviting zone.
