Stone is a natural material that has been traditionally accepted in the world as a material used to decorate luxurious bathrooms, but the latest trends also place it high on the list of desirable materials in the bathroom. Washbasins, horizontal and shower cabins, and sink panels can be made of stone. Natural stone is popular as floor and wall coverings. Stone brings elegance and glamour to the bathroom, even when it is designed in a minimalist style.
Unlike kitchen countertops, where granite is almost always chosen among natural stone types, all types of hard natural stone (marble, travertine, limestone, and granite) are very often used in bathrooms.
When choosing a stone for countertops, we usually focus on the aesthetic properties of the stone, but it is good to know what to expect from certain types of stone.
Daily exposure to toothpaste, soaps and other acidic substances over a long period of time will cause a patina on marble, travertine and limestone. This property should not deter you from choosing these types of stone, as patina gives character to any space, but if you think that this will bother you, granite should be your choice for bathroom stone.
