Natural stone is the best investment when it comes to improving your home to increase its beauty and aesthetics, as well as enhance its value. For many homeowners, updating their homes with natural stone granite or quartzite is the best way to have themselves in a luxurious and comfortable place to come home to improve their home's value and demand top dollar when ready to sell.

There is a great benefit of investing in your home using natural stones.  Like any real estate agent will say, doing some stonework on your house will earn you a great deal one day when you go to sell. All Homeowners should consider upgrading their homes with natural stone products, like granite, marble, quartzite, and travertine, to increase their home's value.

There are some things to know when you consider a home improvement not just for your pleasure but also for increasing value. For fixed finishes, you should consider these essentials design tips.

Make your Interior Look Great with Natural Stone

Be neutral - bold may be beautiful, and bold color in design is trending, though it appeals to a narrower audience. Work with neutral colors though things don't have to be boring. They can be unique and special, though they should not overpower. Select stones that are simple and calming. Countertops are a great place to start. You can select quartz countertops, granite countertops, or any of the other types of natural stone. Just remember the main point, you can improve your home's value with neutral, natural stone like marble, granite, or quartzite, or a man-made look alike, like quartz countertops and add color in the accents.

Go with the flow - consider the way space flows. Choppy areas detract from the value and make a room feel smaller than it is. Running the same floor consistently through a home can enlarge the space's feel and demand big bucks when you go to sell. Porcelain tile and marble tiles are great choices to use in these large rooms and complement small spaces.   Plus the trend is to eliminate carpet. So, pull out the wall to wall and install a beautiful porcelain tile or marble tile.

Remember the Big Bang! - Kitchens get you the most significant return on your investment. Ask any realtor, and they will tell you that a great kitchen will sell a house for top dollar. This is the case for a fantastic master bath, too. Quartz kitchen countertops, quartz bathroom countertops, quartzite countertops, and granite bathroom countertops are a great plan. When paired with a gorgeous marble mosaic backsplash or a classic subway tile, you cannot lose! Some popular countertop colors are Calacatta marble and Taj Mahal quartzite.   Plus, there are numerous quartz countertop options that mimic the look of these natural stone slab colors.

Ready, Aim, Fire- Jazz up your fireplace. Make a traditional fireplace look like a modern fireplace. A stacked stone look fireplace achieved using a ledger panel or a smooth fireplace stone veneer, like our limestone tile, can give a contemporary fireplace look and allow you to demand top dollar for your home. 

If a full redo of your home is not in the budget, do not underestimate the power of updating the powder bath. Marble mosaic floors are a great way to add pop to a powder because although the price per square foot is higher than other formats of tile, the floors are small, so you don't need much. Mosaic installed on the floor or walls is an easy way of raising your home's value with natural stone. Be warned, though, this is a project best left to a professional. Mosaic is trickier to install and sometimes needs more preparation than large format tiles, though it is certainly worth it. The result is beautiful and adds a significant value to your house, especially if the mosaic is a luxurious marble.

Enhance your Exterior with Natural Stone

The Great Outdoors: Patios, stepping stones and stone pathways, or a natural stone paver driveway can add a big difference and great value to your home. Plus, consider adding an outdoor fireplace made with travertine pavers and pool coping to improve your home appraisal. You can also add the popular grey porcelain pavers that many homeowners are adding to their yards to get a great return on their investment.  These slip resistant pavers are a grip finish porcelain to prevent accidents.

Easy Does It - Porcelain and stone products are easy to maintain, especially outside. Buyers looking for easy-to-care-for options will love porcelain pavers and natural stone pavers. Also, both porcelain and stone products are durable and can easily handle the Houston weather.

Wherever you put it, investing in natural stone will pay off.
