Incorporating Ledger Stone into Your Design

Ledger stone fireplace surroundIf you are looking to incorporate the natural beauty and texture of real stone into your home, look no further than ledger stone –a natural stone that renders a warm and rustic aesthetic.

The stacking of ledger stone provides a three-dimensional look that adds a new textural and visual component to the space. Plus, because it is a natural element, there are a variety of colors available to complement any space.

Ledger stone can be incorporated into most modern, eclectic and traditional designs.

Due to the color and surface of this cut material, ledger stone can be used to add contrast, focal points, accents, or a natural element to the space.

This natural component is commonly used in fireplace surrounds, columns, accent walls, or within a niche in the wall, It is not recommended near water or in a splash zone. That’s because it has a rough and porous surface that can be difficult to clean.

Adding A Wet Bar Into Your Home Renovation

If you love to cook and host dinner parties, it’s time to raise the bar when it comes to your home design. An integrated wet bar near your kitchen and dining area is one way help you become the ultimate entertainer.

“The placement of a bar in between your kitchen and dining room can effectively join and create a nice transition between the rooms,” said Normandy Designer Leslie Molloy, CKD.

“Adding traditional bar basics like a sink, wine cooler storage for stemware, and serving counter creates a dedicated space for staging cocktails and hors d’oeuvres,” added Leslie.

With a wet bar set up between the kitchen and dining area, this area of your home becomes the apex of wining and dining. “A slight variation in the cabinet door styles can help to add visual interest and differentiate this area of cabinetry from the rest of the kitchen,” noted Leslie.

Each space is unique and wet bars come in all shapes and sizes. Set up an appointment with a Normandy Designer to discuss your current layout and what design would best fit your home.
