It holds the heat so is perfect for shower areas and wet rooms and looks fantastic for years. Here are a few ways to use natural stone in the bathroom. ![01-Using Natural Stone in the Bathroom(1)](https://www.foamandbubbles.com/hs-fs/hubfs/01-Using%20Natural%20Stone%20in%20the%20Bathroom(1).jpg?width=564&name=01-Using%20Natural%20Stone%20in%20the%20Bathroom(1).jpg)   Big limestone tiles look great in a shower area – modern yet organic and spa-like. As it is quite a soft stone, clean regularly with a stone-specific cleaner to remove soap residue. Do not use normal shower cleaners as they can be acidic and caustic and cause discolorations and etch marks in the limestone.   ![02-Using Natural Stone in the Bathroom(1)](https://www.foamandbubbles.com/hs-fs/hubfs/02-Using%20Natural%20Stone%20in%20the%20Bathroom(1).jpg?width=766&name=02-Using%20Natural%20Stone%20in%20the%20Bathroom(1).jpg)   Stone doesn’t have to be big solid slabs, it can also be delicate patterns like these pretty [Palazzo mosaics](http://www.firedearth.com/tiles/range/palazzo/corsini) from Fired Earth. They look great behind a counter-mounted basin and with wall-mounted taps.   ![03-Using Natural Stone in the Bathroom(1)](https://www.foamandbubbles.com/hs-fs/hubfs/03-Using%20Natural%20Stone%20in%20the%20Bathroom(1).jpg?width=493&name=03-Using%20Natural%20Stone%20in%20the%20Bathroom(1).jpg)   If you have quite a large space to work with, consider long limestone flagstones laid in a herringbone pattern. Here the tumbled edges of the stone add to the period charm of this bathroom and prevents it all looking too new and perfect.   ![04-Using Natural Stone in the Bathroom(1)](https://www.foamandbubbles.com/hs-fs/hubfs/04-Using%20Natural%20Stone%20in%20the%20Bathroom(1).jpg?width=533&name=04-Using%20Natural%20Stone%20in%20the%20Bathroom(1).jpg)   This French country house takes flagstones to the max and is the perfect complementary texture to the large steel bath. We love the beautifully-balanced mixture of modern, rustic and traditional.   ![05-Using Natural Stone in the Bathroom(1)](https://www.foamandbubbles.com/hs-fs/hubfs/05-Using%20Natural%20Stone%20in%20the%20Bathroom(1).jpg?width=736&name=05-Using%20Natural%20Stone%20in%20the%20Bathroom(1).jpg)   If you’re not sure about a whole bathroom in stone, add just a touch with the [Aegina bowl](http://www.firedearth.com/round-basin-dcc4bfb2ccfd7a15d98de4c229e94317) from Fired Earth. It’s smooth on the inside but rough on the outside so that it feels beautifully organic.   Need help sourcing a reliable fitter for your next bathroom project?
