Designing any new space can be exciting, especially if you’re adding touches that will evoke peace and tranquility. Colors arouse different feelings and emotions so considering this for each room will add to the overall appeal of your custom design.  A bathroom is a space that’s often used in the morning to gear up for the day, or at the end of the day while unwinding. So, what better space to incorporate shades of blue that will add emphasis on peace, calmness, relaxation, and tranquility. Plus, it’s the most universally loved color by both men and women, meaning everyone is sure to love a luxury modern bathroom design that incorporates natural stone with blue hues.

Natural Stone

Natural stone, like marble and quartzite, is created in the environment through natural heat and pressure processes. Because of this, no two slabs or tiles are ever identical so know that what you choose is truly unique to your luxury bathroom design. Marble, for example, is typically a light-colored rock when the limestone it is formed from has few impurities.

However, if there are impurities mixed in the limestone, like clay minerals or iron oxides, the marble can range in colors and veining patterns. Most commonly known for its whiter tones, it is also available in range of warm, rich tones, including taupe, blue, brown, gray, and black. Quartzite, on the other hand, is formed when extreme heat and pressure are applied to sandstone within the earth.  It can be found in a wide range of colors, from cool to warm, and lighter to darker. Both natural stone options will add a lot to the overall design of a modern, luxurious bathroom that evokes feelings of tranquility.

When you compare marble to quartzite, they have many admirable qualities. Both are stunning natural stones. In fact, quartzite is often mistaken for marble. However, quartzite is much harder and more durable. It can be used for kitchen countertops without having the scratching and etching issues sometimes experienced with marble.

Natural Stone in Your Bathroom

At the end of a long day, being able to retreat to your spa-like luxury modern shower may be just what you need to unwind. Designing with natural stone that includes blue hues will transform your bathroom from an ordinary living space to a tranquil spa. It will be a perfect place to relax in a warm bubble bath after a long day at work.

Whether you chose quartzite or marble for your modern luxury bathroom, when properly sealed natural stone is easy to care for and maintain. Keep it looking its best by sweeping, dust mopping or vacuuming prior to wet mopping with a pH-balanced neutral cleaner or warm water. Be sure to check the care and maintenance needed for any stone you choose.
