Decorative stone in the bedroom: features, photo

Decorating a bedroom with a stone will emphasize the status of its owner, make the room stylish, recall traditions - and at the same time it will look very modern.

You can stone the entire room, part of it, or focus on one of the walls; for a bedroom, this is usually the wall behind the head of the bed. Thus, the bed will be highlighted as the main piece of furniture.

You can combine stone with plaster, wood or cloth, and metal, glass, or ordinary wallpaper. A large number of possible options allows a wide variety of styles in the design of interiors.

The advantages of decorative stone in the decoration of the bedroom

Compared to other finishing materials, decorative stone has the following advantages:

• environmental friendliness: stone does not emit harmful substances into the air;
• durability: long service life without loss of appearance due to high mechanical strength;
• simplicity of laying: the side that is attached to the wall has a smooth, rough surface; working with a stone is no more difficult than working with ceramic tiles;
• biological stability: mold or fungus does not start on the stone;
• easy care: detergents (not containing abrasives) can be used;
• diversity: A wide range of colors and textures are available.

The decorative stone used in the bedroom can be an exact copy of natural material, or have a fantasy pattern. Quite often they use imitation under a brick, and it can look like an old masonry - this option is suitable for interiors in the loft or Provence style.

Using decorative stone, you can imitate not only brick, but even masonry from boulders, or, using polished stone, create smooth smooth surfaces.

The use of decorative stone in the interior of the bedroom

The stone can be used in almost any interior - classic, minimalism, Provence, loft, Scandinavian style, and even in such refined styles as empire or modern. In minimalism, stone decoration can be the main and only decorative element. The only condition: compliance with the measure. Too much stone in the finish can make the interior difficult to perceive.

When decorating a bedroom with a stone, as a rule, they lay out one wall, and more often - only part of the wall. Therefore, it is important to consider how the junction of the stone cladding with other finishing materials will look like.

If in the hallways, on the loggias and kitchens they often use “overflowing”, or decoration with “torn” edges, then in the bedroom this technique is not very appropriate, except, perhaps, for the country style. In all other cases, it is necessary to limit in some way the place that is planned to be laid out with stone. This can be a specially built niche behind the head, or limiting moldings.

In addition to the wall behind the head, stone often lay the wall on which the television panel is mounted, such a solution has recently become more and more popular.

Using stone trim, you can zone the space of the bedroom, for example, revetting a corner with a dressing table and a mirror. In any case, if you use decorative stone in the bedroom, it becomes the main emphasis in the interior, attracts attention and highlights objects placed on its background.

Tips for decorating your bedroom with decorative stone

Stone, like any other finishing material, has its own specifics, which must be taken into account when developing the design of the room:

• With a light stone, you can finish the entire wall, if the room is small, the space will visually increase.
• In a large bedroom, you can stone part of the wall behind the head of the bed, so that it protrudes on both sides by about 70 cm. Finishing the bedroom with stone in a large room can occupy the whole wall, but in this case it will be necessary to supplement the interior with some a large decorative element to balance it.
• If the bed in the narrow bedroom is head over to a long wall, in small rooms a stone is laid out behind the head of the wall, and in large rooms with a ledge of 70 cm or more behind the head of the bed.
• If the headboard adjoins a short wall in a narrow bedroom, it can be finished with a stone as a whole, but try to choose light pastel shades, avoiding too bright or very dark tones.

Depending on the appearance, pattern, texture, color, decorative stone can act as the main element in the interior, be an auxiliary tool for zoning the room, or become a background for demonstrating original interior solutions. In any case, it will help to bring originality into the atmosphere of the bedroom, and most fully express your personality.
