Here at Sharpstone, we love to be at the forefront of design news. We adore keeping an eye on what designers are doing and seeing how we can help our customers find on trend stones that will be in style for years to come. We decided to have a look at the upcoming trends and see where we fit into them. First on the list for 2024 is Sustainability.
One of the biggest forecasted home trends for 2024 is “Sustainability”. We are all aware of the crisis our climate is facing and the stone industry faces problems too. Popular natural stones such as Marble and Granite are formed in the earth over hundreds or even thousands of years. There is only so much that can be mined and eventually, it will run out. There are sustainable options though and Sharpstone offers a huge variety that have all the beauty of natural stones, without the environmental damage.
One of the best options for sustainability we’ll look at is Quartz. Quartz worktops are hugely popular and it’s no surprise why. Along with their outstanding beauty and huge range, Quartz has many benefits that natural stone simply cannot offer. These slabs are made from natural stone that has been ground down and reformed; so, a recycled material. The ground stone is pressed and held together with resin, with different pigments being introduced to create the beautiful veins and other patterns that form in natural stone. Because of the process in which they are made, Quartz slabs have unrivalled durability. They are waterproof, heat resistant and it takes a lot to break them. Quartz worktops are ideal for a busy family home. They come in different thickness’s and finishes too, so you can achieve the look you’ve been dreaming of.
Sustainable living doesn’t mean you can’t have a modern home. It’s not all welly boots and growing your own veg. Quartz can help create a modern masterpiece no matter where it’s used. It doesn’t just have to be the kitchen. These slabs can be used in the bathroom for vanity sinks or outdoors for bars and BBQ areas too.
Quartz can last a lifetime if looked after correctly which means it’s great for both the environment and your bank balance! If you’re looking for your forever stone, then why not make Quartz your first choice.
