Building and decoration trends shift on a regular basis. And with a new year coming up, it’s time to present some of the best predictions regarding natural stone trends in 2017. For instance, in this new year, the tendencies seem to be leaning towards some particular aspects of nature, such as serenity, balance and life.
In 2016, colour mixing and vivid tonalities made the wonders of many architects and decorators all over the world. While the pink, yellow, teal and blues invaded the industry in general, with a range of sensational elements, mostly energy, inspiration and motivation. On the other hand, neutral colours, especially white and grey, kept doing what they do best – keeping it clean and simple. Now, things seem to be considerably changing into a more organic stage, filled with earth-like and metallic colours, high luminosity, fine contrasts and a general preference for alternative patterns. In terms of natural stone trends, it is expected that warm coloured stones rise, mostly those fitting the major décor trends. However, due to the dominant presence of marbles during the past few years, it is anticipated that this natural stone will cease to be a main preference. As so, other natural stone types will have an increased chance to rise, particularly limestones, granites and travertines. But what’s going to change precisely? Find out below, through our main predictions for natural stone trends in 2017.
