Stunning Splashbacks by Paris Ceramics

How to incorporate stone into your home

 

 

Stone can be a real statement material and can help to add a sense of grandeur to a room. With it’s durable and hard-wearing properties, it’s the perfect choice for contemporary interiors.

Stone specialist, Alvaro De Ferranti of De Ferranti recently spoke to Utopia Kitchen & Bathroom Magazine on how to incorporate stone around the home.

“Be adventurous, try combining stone with glass and rivershell, or perhaps combining stone with pieces of metallic or mirror glass – mixed materials can be really aesthetically pleasing. A lot of people think you have to put stone with stone, but it’s just not the case; stone works well with so many materials.”

See the full feature below:

Made in the UK by Paris Ceramics

Isn’t it great to find that some things are still made at home? In rich earthy hues, this exciting new collection of tiles from Paris Ceramics is lovingly handmade by an English artisan, using clay from Stoke on Trent. The appeal of these handmade stoneware tiles is that even the maker doesn’t know how the reactive glaze will turn out.

“It goes a bit darker where the glaze is thickest and lighter where the glaze is thinner”, he explains “The variation is truly beautiful and makes each tile unique.”

Although Paris Ceramics’ artisans can’t exactly control the colourway of each and every tile, they do allow customers to specify tiles that have more green (top row) or more blue (bottom row).

With its hand-finished bespoke colouring, this beautiful herringbone solid wood floor has the patina of age but not the high price tag of reclaimed timber. It is available in many designs, a wide variety of woods and a range of patterns. Ideal in both period or contemporary homes, this flooring offers a distinctive surface with bags of character.

Price: £220 a sq m exc VAT (that’s £264 a sq m inc VAT). www.parisceramics.com

Uses: Walls. Interiors. Feature panels. Cladding. 

Size: Supplied as a 20 cm square veneer  

Colourways: bronze mica (as shown) or gold mica

Cost: £450 a square metre exc vat.
