It has a dove gray background, subtle and contemporary, with a mottled pattern that incorporates slightly yellow and pink undertones amongst a darker gray veining. It's a delicate pattern, not harsh or imposing, creating the perfect background for you to build an elegant interior design upon. Limestone is a hardwearing stone that has long been used for decorative floor tiling. It is a sedimentary rock, created by layers of materials that build up over a long period of time. These layers cement to form a hardened rock which can easily be shaped to size, making it ideal for use as tiles. Limestone is a soft stone, which makes it one of the best options if you're looking for a cozy, homely style. It feels soft underfoot giving your home a relaxed feel. Just like many natural stones, it is porous and will need sealing. This protects the stone from moisture and stains that could damage the tile's appearance. However, if it is well looked after, limestone can last for decades. Tell me about the tile's finish Creating a contemporary matte effect, this tile has a honed finish. It has been ground down until perfectly smooth, removing any ridges and bumps that may create an imperfect surface. The tile is not buffed or polished, but instead left with its satin finish. It's a beautiful, natural-looking surface which complements the stone's origins. It is soft and subtle. A honed finish is great for those wanting a practical tiling solution, but still want to retain that smooth texture. Unlike a polished finish, it is relatively low-maintenance and doesn't require frequent buffing to keep it looking its best. It is easy to clean, as there are no grooves or pits to catch the dirt. It can be mopped clean with a pH neutral cleanser. It's also much more functional than a polished tile because it has slightly more traction. This makes it suitable for flooring in bathrooms, kitchens, and hallways that may otherwise become slippery when wet. What overall look will I achieve? The soft pastel gray of Everest Gray Limestone creates a gorgeous modern country kitchen. Add green-gray kitchen cupboards and ivory walls for a contemporary take on the classic Georgian style. Incorporate accents of pale oak to keep the design light and airy. But the options don't stop there, Everest Gray is incredibly versatile. Go for a moody and masculine look with navy blue cupboards and a wooden countertop, including an Everest Gray kitchen backsplash to carry the earthy, rugged look through to all corners of the room. Its light shade contrasts perfectly with rich, dark tones creating a stunning eclectic design.
