As regular readers will know, we are called Stone and Chrome for a very good reason! Today we want to focus on the Stone side of our identity.
At Stone and Chrome we have a passion for designing and installing all types of bathrooms and wetrooms. We love natural stone and have many years’ experience in using it in our installations. Natural stone is an aspirational material to use in your bathrooms or wetrooms and has a timeless and elegant appearance that will delight you each and every time you walk into your bathroom or wetroom.
In this article we look at some of the wonderful natural stone we use in our bathroom installations, and examples of how beautiful this material looks in our bathrooms and wetrooms.
Limestone
Our first example is an exquisite master en-suite with a freestanding stone bath and walk in shower. This gorgeous bathroom is perfectly finished off by stunning tiling using Premium Tempesta D’argento Honed Limestone tiles. The overall ambience of the bathroom is kept light and airy by the combination of the beautiful warm grey tiles and the Farrow & Ball Purbeck Stone paint.

We also used limestone in the stunning luxury master en-suite pictured below. In this case the bathroom was tiled in our Premium Marine Fossil limestone. Incidentally, this bathroom features one of the largest steam shower rooms we’ve ever installed!

Marble
Another material we love to use is marble. It can bring a touch of luxurious elegance to any style of bathroom. Our first example is a stunning soft art deco style bathroom. Both the walls and furniture were painted in Farrow & Ball Purbeck Stone which blends perfectly with the tiling in our luxury Italian Carrara and Nero Marquina marble.
As well as the wall tiling, we also used Carrara marble for a bespoke surface with waterfall edge detail.
The bathroom is perfectly finished off with Nero Marquina Ogee skirting to border the room and to provide a gorgeous curved entrance to the shower.

We also used marble in the simple and elegant guest en-suite pictured below. This en-suite features a spectacular shower that takes up the width of the room. The tiling in Italian Botticino marble is wonderfully offset by the colour changing LED lighting. This particular system is controlled via an app on your phone and provides over 2.1million colours!

Travertine
We are also delighted to showcase this pampering master en-suite which is tiled in our Premium Latte Travertine. This luxury attic bathroom features a walk in shower with heated seats that are LED underlit. We also used travertine to create a bespoke surface for the beautiful oak double vanity unit and a storage area with a hinged oak lid for towels.

Slate
Last but by no means least is this elegant en-suite featuring a wetroom and Laufen ILBAGNOALESSI One Basin. The room is completely tiled in our premium black calibrated riven slate for a distinctive and contemporary look.
