Limestone is such a fantastic masonry material because it is strong, versatile, and lovely! You can use it in outdoor or indoor projects and it is easy to find in a variety of colors and shapes. It can be cut into tiles, for mosaics, patios, pool patio edges and surfaces, and hundreds of other applications. It can also be used inside the home to vary the looks of different rooms.
One of the most interesting places for using limestone is in the bathroom. In this room, it is very hip to think beyond porcelain or all-over ceramic in terms of masonry materials. One way to spice things up a bit is to use different sized limestone tiles all over the bathroom. Apply large ones to the floor and in the shower. Smaller tiles can cover the counter top or the outer surface of a raised sink. If you coordinate the colors and focus on limestone’s gray, brown, or tan hues, you will end up with a very organic, earth-tone space that is soothing and lovely. Of course, you can also create a dramatic look if you vary limestone tiles with ceramic ones, in blacks or blues for example, which will add both pops of color and an interesting texture contrast.
Before beginning to dream your next bathroom renovation, rethink things from the ground up—and consider the many ways you can bring a natural, sustainable material like limestone into the room!
