Decorating with rocks, the beauty of rustic decor
Rocks are dirty, crude, hard, and just plain nasty. But there is another side to rocks. They are also durable, beautiful, and come in a huge variety.
When a piece of stone is cut from a mountain, it is cut into a giant slab. This slab looks like a giant landscape. The stone can be any color that exists in nature, red, green, yellow, and these colors are streaked across the face of the stone. When it is cut or broken down, each piece becomes a tiny unique item that can then be turned into any number of beautiful decorating items.
The most common stone household item are stone tables. Stone tables match stone and ceramic flooring. They are one of a kind, and beautiful. They can easily be set up indoors or outdoors, and they dont stain, because rocks dont
stain.
Stone can also be crafted into desk clocks, wall clocks, coasters, and more. Almost anything can be made from stone.
By bringing stone into a design scheme, you give the room a sense of solidarity. A rustic fealing, that you cant achieve easily in modern homes. It comes in almost any color you can imagine, and each item is one of a kind.
So next time you dissmiss rocks as just being, rocks, think about the many aspects of stone decorating that are out there.
