Creating Custom Limestone Projects
Getting That Custom Limestone Look
When you take on a home improvement project, you likely don’t want your home to end up looking like every other home in the neighborhood that has also used limestone in certain features. You want something unique and different that will stand out and raise the value of your home. How can you do that when you are using similar limestone tiles to other people? Here are a few suggestions for getting a custom limestone look in your project:
Remember the Unique Nature of the Stone
You’ve probably heard that there are no two fingerprints that are identical. People are unique individuals. Limestone is similar in that there are no two pieces that are exactly the same. When you keep that in mind, you will recognize that no matter what you do with limestone in your home, it will be different than any other home. There are plenty of ways, of course, to differentiate your limestone from others, but even the fact that you have limestone at all makes your home unique.
Customize Carvings
If you are getting a limestone door surround or perhaps a fireplace, you can make that feature as customized as you’d like. Some people like to keep the tiles simple and streamlined, but you can also get ornate carvings placed in certain locations or you can get designs and patterns carved into the limestone. Those customizations make the limestone even more different than it would have been otherwise.
Mix Colors
Many homeowners choose a limestone color and go with it, but you don’t have to do that. When getting a limestone tile floor, for example, you could choose a few different colors and lay them down in a pattern. That makes your project look custom-done and you can create an elegant look with unique limestone customization.
Consider Location
One thing to make limestone unique is simply where you place it. While many people have limestone flooring or countertops, not just anyone has a limestone fountain in their entryway or limestone stairs. You could put in an accent wall or a backsplash in the kitchen made from limestone for a unique flair. One of the most beautiful features that can really stand out is a limestone kitchen hood, carved to your specifications. The placement of the limestone means just as much to its uniqueness as the limestone material itself.
Your Style
Your style is unlike anyone else’s. Some people have a style that blends in while others like to stand out. Use your style to give the custom limestone project a certain look and feel that you will enjoy, as the homeowner.
