How can I use a decorative stone?
To emphasize the design of the house owners try to combine several types of tiles, made in one color scheme. So, the base and windows can be lined with a brown stone, and the walls are beige or milky. It is interesting to look at the options when tiles are used sporadically, highlighting certain parts of the house, for example the area of windows, doors, columns or corners. In such cases, it is desirable to use a contrast finish, which will immediately stand out against the general background.
