How to Turn Your Stone Wall into a Feature Wall?

Having a stone wall inside the house can really make or break a home. It can look majestic or it can look tacky and give the entire place a cold feel to it. With the right creative flair, though, it can be a masterpiece.

Stone walls can be used to give your home a rustic feel, or even a clean new feel. Just because stone is one of the oldest materials used doesn’t mean it has to have that appearance.

Use it to Enunciate a Fireplace

Stone walls can bring the eye to a certain feature in the home, and the best thing about using it to make a fireplace stand out is that stone doesn’t absorb heat. If your stone wall is artificial, it also creates a block between the heat and your real wall. Your room will heat up quicker in winter, and you’ll have something nice to curl up in front of with a good book.

You can even make it appear like the entire wall is one big fireplace, which adds to the illusion of heat, warmth and comfort without needing an in-depth knowledge of interior design.

Divide and Decorate

A half wall, or separating wall, can even be designed to be a bar or breakfast table easily. Once the wall has been built, a polished piece of wood or marble on top can seal the deal on the appearance. It works particular well in open plan homes, where walls aren’t as frequent. Not only does it show where when room ends and another begins but you can do something useful with the space rather than waste it.

Something new, something old

Some houses can look very classy with a little half and half. Just because the insides are new doesn’t mean it has to appear that way. With a bit of creativity, you can easily make your home feel lived in, and like it has survived the ages and still have it looking incredibly nice and minimalist.

Deck out the Bathroom

A stone wall in warm colors, with mirrors hung up on it, with marble top counters can make any standard bathroom feel like a spa. It doesn’t require much to get the look and effect without having to buy fancy equipment. The stone wall could easily replace a tiled wall and mean you don’t have to worry about condensation loosening the hold on the wall over the years, either.

Showcase your Possessions

A stone wall can be the perfect way to place things you’re proud of. Whether it’s an aquarium, like above, trophies, or even a TV. Setting the shelving up and then stoning around it wouldn’t require much more work than using stone in the first place and it can give a lovely, complete feel to room and have visitors eyes wandering there of their own accord.

Outdoorsy Feel

If you’re close to nature, you can easily use an internal stone wall near a well-lit area, or even a space that leads to your yard or patio, and make it feel like you’re always bathed in the outside, even when you’re nice and snug inside. You get the light benefits and the beautiful structure that you can mould to your choosing.
