Trends for natural stone specifiers for 2019 and 2020.
At about this time of year, we like to look back at what our customers were buying over the course of the year and work out which way the trends might go over the next year.
The most talked about limestone and marble.
Blue and grey coloured limestones have recently become very "on trend" but have they now overtaken the demand for the more traditional beige and white coloured limestones?
Topics: French limestone, spanish limestone, portuguese marble
Portuguese marble is pretty in pink.
In previous blogs, we've talked about Portuguese limestone, and how these Portuguese stones are loved by designers for their uniformity and predictability of colour, veining and shelling. But the Portuguese also have a range of marbles which are really eye-catching.

The demand for coloured marble and strong patterns in natural stone has been around for a while now and is showing no signs of fading.
The first time I realised that it was becoming a trend was when I read an article on Remodelista two years ago. Since then, we have had lots of enquiries and a number of recent orders for so called 'ugly' marble.
One of our latest projects was to supply pink Rosa Aurora marble to the new Granger & Co restaurant at Kings Cross. Pop along to see our tables in situ.. and of course to try out the new menu! The restaurant interior was designed by Gundry & Ducker and fitted by Bluecrow shopfitters.

Home of the Rosa – Portuguese marble is pretty in pink.
Our previous blog talked about Portuguese limestone, particularly Moleanos and Moca Creme, and about how these Portuguese stones can be a designer's delight for their uniformity and predictability of colour and veining/shelling.
