The Future of Quartz Stone in Interior Design

The role of stones in creating beautiful homes is unparalleled. While marble and granite have long dominated the space, a new challenger has emerged – quartz. In an ever-evolving world of interior design, quartz has earned a spot for itself due to its versatility, durability, sturdiness and aesthetic appeal. Both home buyers and interior designers are equally fascinated by its qualities in such a way that almost every interior designing company in Bangalore will suggest you get quartz for your kitchen, bathroom, or flooring.

But, have you wondered why quartz has become the first choice for style and elegance in the interior design industry? Let us have a look at some points starting with benefits.

Benefits

Quartz has numerous benefits that provide it an edge against granite and marble.

Durability

Do you know which spaces in your homes are more prone to wear and tear because of their frequent use? It’s the kitchen and bathroom. You can also add flooring here, but some open parts of the flooring can be protected through carpets and rugs, but there is no such option for the kitchen and bathroom. This is where the durability of quartz can work wonders. When natural quartz crystals are blended with resins, the resulting product is engineered quartz – which is highly resistant to scratches, stains and any kind of impact. This is the same material that is used in the interior of the bathroom and kitchen counter slab.

Low Maintenance

Going with quartz stone for your kitchen and bathroom might cost you a little more than marble or granite. But rest assured it will be compensated adequately because quartz is very low maintenance. Unlike other stones that need regular sealing to protect them from staining, quartz is almost maintenance-free. A simple soap solution is enough to clean your quartz kitchen slab, or the shower walls in the bathroom. Moreover, quartz is non-porous so you also don’t have to worry about the seepage or leakage and the resultant growth of bacteria or fungus in your bathroom and kitchen counter slab.

Versatility 

Quartz comes in a wide range of colours, from icy white shades to midnight black tones, making it an ideal choice for most interior designers and homes. Besides the variety of colours, you can also get bathroom and kitchen quartz stone slabs in different types of patterns and finishes to suit your specific design requirements. A factor that makes it versatile is its customizability. Whether you are going with an L-shaped, a U-shaped or an island kitchen design, you can easily customise the quartz for kitchen platform in any dimension you want. 

Sustainability

Quartz, being the 2nd most abundant mineral in the earth’s crust, makes it a sustainable material to harvest. Another factor that makes it perfect for today’s generation is its eco-friendly manufacturing process. Most quartz manufacturers use recycled materials, such as glass, ceramic and industrial waste, thereby reducing the ecological footprint. Due to its durability and longevity, quartz does not need frequent replacement, making it a sustainable option from an environmental angle. Moreover, it is also important to note that non-toxic resin in quartz makes your kitchen quartz stone completely safe for you.

Current & Future Trends in the Design Industry

In the contemporary world of home interiors, quartz is mainly used in bathrooms and kitchens such as quartz kitchen slab and shower walls. However, gradually quartz is making its way out of the kitchen and bathroom to the living and dining spaces. Many interior designers are exploring their creativity with quartz by using it in flooring and as a decorative stone in living rooms and dining spaces. So, when you design your home do not limit yourself to using quartz stone for kitchen, talk to your home interior expert to explore other options also. 

Initially, when quartz was being used for home interiors, it was only opted by those who wanted minimalistic designs. This was because earlier there were some manufacturing limitations in the variety of engineered quartz. But with the demand for quartz in interiors rising, multiple varieties – in terms of colour, texture and pattern are available now. As a result, quartz is gradually becoming the first choice for other types of home interiors, including bohemian and traditional. 

Another area where quartz has a huge shift is its usage in commercial spaces. Usually, business people are too much into exploring new designs. But witnessing the trends of quartz in home interiors, even offices and commercial buildings are consulting with their interior experts to include quartz where possible.
