Set in Stone – How to Choose Colour Trends That Last
When it comes to renovating or building, some of the biggest decisions that you’ll make are both exciting and stressful. While décorative items can be replaced regularly, and wall coatings can be updated every few years with relative ease, certain finishes are in for the long haul.
While one might be tempted to pick trendy fixtures and bold, dramatic colours, it may be prudent to consider décor longevity and how each element will work with life’s changing seasons in the years to come. When selecting countertop surfaces and feature walls, your choice may be literally set in stone.
So, how do you make a colour choice that makes your heart sing today, without feeling ‘stuck with it’ tomorrow?
Explore 2025’s most enduring colour trends
According to the NCS (Natural Colour System®), global leaders in colour communication and psychology, the upcoming colour trends of 2025 offer a variety of rich and natural hues that promise years of enjoyment. Popular shades range from aquatic blues and mint greens of the NCS’s Gaia palette to the pastel delights of the Ethereal palette… Whatever your preference, choosing a stone surface that offers lifelong joy doesn’t have to be so daunting.
Timeless colour trends from Cosentino
The latest colour editions from Cosentino introduce breathtaking style into your interiors and exteriors, while complementing the trends of tomorrow.
Intertwining art and distinction, Cosentino captures the essence of bourgeois sophistication in the new Le Chic Bohéme Silestone range.
Perfect for feature walls decorated with minimalist mirrors, allow the evocative Jardin Emerald to transport you to a Parisian garden where golden sunshine and dappled shade dance through the veins of this elegant stone. Bold and earthy, Cosentino’s new Château Brown embodies the intense depth of creamy, continental espresso, enhanced by wisps of copper, pink and bronze.
For a softer touch, imagine venturing to the sun-kissed shores of the French Riviera with Silestone’s feminine Riviére Rose, a warm white vision adorned by blush pink and taupe veins. Ideal for chic countertops and kitchen backdrops, Cosentinos’ Blanc Élysée Silestone is reminiscent of classic French marble accented by gold, copper, and grey veining.
Also new to Cosentino’s Dekton collection, the Pietra edition offers a variety of neutral surfaces, each adorned with unique patterns and designs – from the wood-like grains of Nebu or Trevi to the beachy beauty of Sandik.
Long-lasting style and resilience
No, choosing long-lasting, magnificent stone surfaces doesn’t have to be intimidating at all. Cosentino’s Silestone hybrid surfaces also promise to endure as long their style does, with high scratch-, stain-, and impact-resistant properties, and low porosity to prevent them from being damaged by acidic foods and chemicals.
