When it comes to remodeling kitchens and bathrooms, many people tend to think that natural stone is a lot more expensive than other materials and products. But one thing you should take into consideration is the value that natural stone brings to your home. Natural stone can increase your home’s value both inside and outside and today, natural stone is more accessible than before. Because it’s more accessible that means that it’s more affordable. If you incorporate natural stone into your home, chances of it lasting the lifetime of your home are high. You don’t have to do a complete overhaul of your house either. You can add value to your home with natural stone in many ways. Here are just a few options:

Update Your Kitchen

The kitchen is one of or even the most valued room in a home. Because of this, it’s worth investing in. The kitchen will give you the most bang for your buck. Natural stone is a great way to liven up an old space. New kitchen countertops are a great way to quickly add value to your home. You can also incorporate natural stone tile on the floor or even walls. It makes a great backsplash or top for a kitchen island.

Add Stone To Your Bathroom

Like the kitchen, the bathroom is another high-traffic area. The possibilities for incorporating natural stone into the bathroom are endless. You can use the stone in the shower, on the floor, on the vanity counters, and each of these ways adds value. Besides the more obvious ways, you can also create shower seats, inlays, and accents, water features, and include a backsplash.


Update Your Fireplace

Natural stone isn’t just used in the kitchen or bathrooms. It can add a “wow” factor to any room in your house, especially your living room by creating a beautiful natural stone surround on the fireplace. It brings in warmth and texture and adds unique character to your home. You can also tie in your living room and kitchen by using matching or even similar stone on your countertops or backsplash and your fireplace. Not only does it add value, but it helps to unify the rooms in your home.

Take the Stone Outside

Not only can you use natural stone on your home’s exterior, but you can also incorporate on fire pits and built-in barbeques. This can really dress up the extra features your home offers and it boosts your home’s value. Other ways you can incorporate natural stone outside include pavers, walkways, and front stairs.
