This year’s trends for outdoor natural stone applications have seen several innovative finishes, new materials and formats,which combine to create an interplay of simplicity and functionality without losing the importance of aesthetics.
1. Antiqued finishes
Different from traditionally flamed,these specially antique and natural finishes and texture help to achieve the unique look of outdoor spaces. They also provide functional benefits, such as improved weather resistance.
2. Small sizes,big impact
While large tiles were popular for a long time, designers are now more likely to choose smaller sizes to create finer details and more complex patterns. These smaller sizes also offer more flexibility when designing different outdoor spaces.
3. Flagstones, with their natural look and playful shape, are becoming very popular for outdoor applications. This “crazy paving” style is often used for garden paths and driveways for reasons of durability and aesthetic appeal. Flagstones add an unique charm to outdoor spaces and are available in a variety of colours and textures.
4. Calm tones, such as light grey, beige and white are predominant in outdoor applications. These colours exude a timeless elegance and create a soothing atmosphere in outdoor spaces. They form a perfect canvas for both modern and classic design styles, integrating nicely with different landscape elements.
5.Travertine, with its warm tones and natural variation, is gaining popularity for outdoor applications. It is often used for terraces, pool copings and wall cladding for its durability and aesthetic appeal. It gives outdoor spaces a timeless look and seamlessly integrates with both modern and more traditional design styles.
