How To Incorporate Stone Into Any Type Of Housing

We have some great news for you! You don’t need to own a mansion to be able to incorporate stone surfaces into your home. There are now many affordable options when it comes to stone , and people have gotten very creative about how and where to utilize it. Take a look at how you can incorporate stone surfaces into any type of housing!

 

Typical House

When we say “typical home,” we are referring to houses you see lined up on every street. Ranches, farmhouses, duplexes, etc. all fall under this category. These homes have a lot of potential places to install stone surfaces including kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, showers,

 fireplaces, accent walls, and more! When you own a home, you are welcome to do as many renovations as you would like. This means that no matter how big or small the project is, you can go for it and add stunning stone surfaces to your home wherever you’d like. Granite countertops have been sought after in homes for many years. People often ignore other ways to incorporate granite , marble, or quartz, but stone is not confined to the kitchen 

Tiny Home

Tiny homes are all the rage right now! If you’re one of the thousands of people who decided to downsize to a tiny home, you can still have gorgeous granite , marble, or quartz throughout your house. Tiny homes may be, well…tiny, but they can still be full of stone accents and surfaces that take your interior design to the next level. When you’re building your tiny home, or when you decide it’s time for renovations , consider installing granite or other stone countertops in the kitchen or bathroom. You can also spruce up your kitchen with stone backsplashes. Even though the house is tiny, your style should be big! 

 

RV/Camper

You read that right! Even your home away from home can get a facelift with some stone surfaces. Many higher-end campers and RVs come

equipped with granite countertops already installed in the kitchen area. If your mobile home did not, some simple renovations will get you on track! Because the countertops in RVs and campers are not typically standard size, you will need to order some custom stone. Planet Stone offers custom granite , marble, quartz and more and our team will install it for you! You can learn more and request an estimate here: https://bsyl.ink/ps-estimate

 

Apartment/Condo

The hardest types of housing to handle are rental properties. Obviously, if you don’t own the property, you can’t make renovations at your heart’s desire. You can always ask the landlord for permission, but there’s a chance they will say no. If you are fortunate enough to get the “go ahead,” then you can add stone surfaces in the same areas as traditional homes. If your landlord says your renovation is a no-go, first, let them know how much granite countertops can increase the value of the home, and second, get creative and find some places to use stone that are installation-free

 

Stone surfaces are perfect for any type of living situation. The next time you have renovations to make, incorporate some stone into your interior design plan. You’ll raise the value of your property, improve the aesthetic of the room, and get durability unmatched by other materials. Call us today for a free estimate at (818) 816-7142.
