The bathroom – a temple of well-being

The bathroom is becoming more important in our homes. We spend more and more time there, not only showering and brushing our teeth, but also relaxing, enjoying ourselves, unwinding and taking care of ourselves. Some people even use it to meditate. That is why the bathroom deserves furnishings with soul, and natural stone gives it that soul.\n\nWhen it comes to beauty and refinement, no material surpasses natural stone. It is beautiful, very durable and copes very well with moisture, which makes it an excellent choice for bathrooms. The idea is not new: public baths were built from natural stone a hundred years ago. Because it copes so well with high humidity and direct contact with water, it was regarded as indispensable in spas and baths. Its texture also creates a non-slip surface, making it the most suitable material for bathroom floors.

Natural decorative stone in the bathroom

As an important part of our living space, the bathroom today must not only work well but also meet high aesthetic standards. The reason is our fast-paced everyday life: the bathroom is often a place of rush and hurry. It is better for it to become a retreat for daily relaxation. Technically, the bathroom is almost the most demanding room in the house, so its furnishing needs thorough planning. There are countless combinations, depending on space, wishes, habits, use and budget. It can be designed in any style.\n\nIn the bathroom, decorative stone suits one or more walls, but also vanity tops or washbasins, where the surface must be smooth. This makes your bathroom something special. Marble and travertine are usually best for decoration. They look glamorous and are still very strong and robust.\n\nA bathroom with travertine elements gains exceptional details and a refined effect. Travertine is not only beautiful, but also very rewarding in the bathroom: it is non-slip, absorbs water and moisture and is very robust. Your bathroom will last a long time. Underfloor heating is no problem either, because travertine stores heat extremely well.

Many uses for natural stone

Thanks to its properties, natural stone can be used in the bathroom in many ways. Most often as flooring, and frequently as a combination of floor and wall tiles. Increasingly popular are marble and granite baths and washbasins, which we make to order at Marnit. We offer a wide choice of natural stone types and shades, so you can design your bathroom rustic, modern or minimalist, as you like. Decorative stone can form individual details or larger surfaces. Instead of other decorative materials, stone offers a natural design all of its own, ideal for anyone who finds classic washbasins, showers and baths too boring. Natural stone has always been used for bathroom floors and walls. Now it is conquering washbasins, basins, showers and baths too. Strong, beautiful and high quality, it is also the logical choice for bathroom furniture.

Durability and robustness

Decorative stone in the bathroom is exposed to dust, dirt, heat, water and moisture. So choose a high-quality, very resistant stone. That way you create your own personal wellness oasis. Decorative stone has proved itself extremely well in bathrooms. But when buying, ask whether the stone you have chosen is really suitable for the bathroom. Not every stone copes equally well with moisture and water, even if they are all equally beautiful.
