As we step into 2025, design trends are embracing authenticity, texture, and timeless appeal. From bold stone statements to old-world charm, here’s what’s shaping interiors and exteriors this year and how our stone and brick products can bring these trends to life.
Textured & Overgrouted Finishes
Overgrouting is emerging as a major design trend, adding old-world charm to modern spaces. According to Su Casa Design, a renowned residential design firm in Canada and the USA, this technique is gaining popularity for blending classic character with contemporary aesthetics. This technique softens edges, enhances texture, and gives stone and brick a hand-crafted, timeworn look. Achieve this look with ashlars, fieldstones, and ledgestones, as they are the perfect styles of stone to achieve this sought-after, European-inspired aesthetic.
Earthy & Organic Aesthetics
Natural tones and organic textures remain at the forefront of design, creating warm, inviting spaces that feel deeply connected to nature. Soft beiges, warm browns, and subtle stone variations reflect the raw beauty of the outdoors. To achieve this look, incorporate earthy textures in exterior elements like the front façade or columns by pairing stone with naturally colored siding. For indoor spaces, enhance the aesthetic by combining stone with wood, greenery, and warm lighting in spaces like the living room, fostering a cozy, nature-inspired ambiance.
Bold & Dramatic Statements
Dark and high-contrast designs are making waves in both interior and exterior applications. Dark stone and brick accents add sophistication and depth, whether in feature walls, fireplaces, or full facades. From natural to manufactured stone, we offer a selection of bricks, ledgestones, and linear stones in deep charcoals, blacks, and rich textures, perfect for creating bold, modern designs. To balance these dark materials, incorporate warm wood, brass, or gold accents for added depth and warmth.
