Are you tired of seeing the same flooring options recycled again and again? While most of us are looking to find the silver lining when choosing between real hardwood or cushiony carpet, there lies a third option that could dissolve the mundane flooring designs before your eyes. Though I am not one of the lucky few who owns a home that features sandstone flooring, that doesn’t prevent me from appreciating its subtle beauty.

If kitchen countertops can be handcrafted to perfection out of granite, then why can’t the floor beneath our feet be fashioned in the same manner. Today’s post will cover all the must-have sandstone flooring designs, and a few suggestions that will excite you about adopting this raw material into your home.

A Shift Towards Sublime Decor

The beauty of sandstone flooring lies not only in its creamy beige color, but also in its exceeding versatility, especially when it comes to creating a romantic feel in the room that is suitable for a variety of decor themes, ranging from bold eclectic to modern minimalist.

Sandstone flooring can be polished to give a particularly charming glow.

You can also add bits of color like what the designer did for the bathroom above. Small tiles of cyan complement the neutral tone of the sandstone quite nicely.
