Natural elements can really work wonders for adorning your home, and stones are no exception. Employed by architectsinterior designers alike, stones can gracefully be used in interiors as well as outer walls of buildings. In different types of shapes, thicknesses & sizes,  stone can be worked conveniently to give a variety of beautiful products.

Flagstone is generally the most widely used and with its typical thickness and shape, finds maximum takers. Slabs, chunks, irregular pieces- all formats have been worked on to reveal stunning aspects on the inside & outside of homes.

Let us take a walk through this list of 15 amazing ideas to use stone slabs in natural form or by painting it, depending upon the location in the home it is intended for.

Basing it up

This image shows a kitchen done in countryside style, with a generous touch of wood & bamboo. In this kitchen, the solid body of the wooden top counter is composed of stones forming a pattern. At the center of a layered pattern of slabs is a thick patch of irregular pieces of stone very elegantly fitted to give a tailored look. The high chairs face this unique stone body that adds another dimension to the design of this kitchen.

On the Stunning Face of an Eclectic Terrace

Sitting as an eye catching facet of this multi-functional terrace space, this unique stone wall has a tonality matching the harmony of furniture, colors, & carpet beautifully. The presence of this wall contributes lavishly to the warmth and conviviality of this covered & bright terrace.

Jazzy in Rustic

Nothing accomplishes the typical rustic look in a better way than stone- this facade of the house is absolutely gorgeous in stone & wood with a stylish touch of blue. The USP of this idea is the rough finish on the stone columns that complement the bright yellow bench, blue doors & beams enclosing the pergola like space, and the greens outside to give a stunning face to the home.

Painted to Stun

This image shows a bathroom with a truly contemporary design. It leads to an interior courtyard through expansive glass doors. The stone wall of the courtyard is painted in white, matching the clear tones of the bathroom. The pristine elegance of the stone wall takes the all white ambiance & the soothing touches of green several notches higher.

A Hint of Class

The touch of stone as a decor pattern on the uneven wall of this tropical terrace adds oodles of texture, a stark contrast with the brightness from the plants and loads of finesse. Added to it is the gloss of the chic granite platform that complements the matte stone panel brilliantly.

Gracing the Garden

In this minimalist conservatory, the wall adorning the mini garden complements the cobbled garden floor, the grey matte tiles and the wooden detailing, lending a peculiar yet elegant consistency. With an appealing vista, the stone wall adds to the beauty of the modular interiors & the small but graceful garden.

The wall in this image has the thickest of the flagstones embedded on a clear white base. The brown of the stones looks great with the green wall; the brick like look and the roughness of surface add an enhancing texture to the wall.

The Perfect Match

The style of the house plays an important role in the choice of stone to be used on walls. It is necessary that the type of stone selected harmonizes with the whole setting- the color, size, location & combinations used should be in tune with the design & tonality of the interior/ exterior of the home. This is important so as to avoid an out of place, garish & cluttered look. The stones in this wall shown in the image match the mood of the snug room quite well.

Pretty as a Picture

Another remarkable idea is using the stones as a picture to deck up a dull wall. Using stones of a shade different from the solemn looking color scheme gives the wall in this photo a lively makeover. The clever lighting & placing of small clay planters highlights the stones, jazzing up the entire room.
