How to Use Every Piece of Stone Slabs in Bathroom Remodels

July 19, 2012

Opting to use natural stone in a bathroom is more than a design decision; it's an investment. And you can make the very most of your natural stone investment by using the entire slab so that none of your beautiful granite, marble, slate or soapstone goes to waste. After the fabrication of your vanity top, the leftover pieces of your stone slab can be employed in several other places to enhance the look, feel and function of your bathroom. 

Using the rest of your stone slab, you can design stone backsplashes, door jams, thresholds, trim, tub surrounds, shower seats or wall caps. Not only will you be taking full advantage of your gorgeous natural stone, but your bathroom will have a custom look that is cohesive, dynamic and high in resale value. Let's take a look at a few bathroom designs that show the versatility of stone. 

The rich, speckled brown granite used for the vanity top was also used for the tub surround to create stunning contrasts in this mostly white and neutral bathroom.
