These days, when it comes to choosing surfaces, designers are getting more and more bold. High-end designs are all about eye-catching patterns and contrast.

Statement stones are typically marble or quartzite. Their patterns – literally found in nature – are more pleasing to the eye, and less likely to become tiresome or go out of style.

Bold stone transforms a functional space into a work of art. Colours, swirls and veining take everything up a notch and reflect adventurousness and individuality.

Here are some examples of how to incorporate statement stone, and where it can be sourced in Winnipeg!
