SANGENGALO/TERAMO: The Return of Deep, Grounded Colour in Stone
There’s a shift in design language this season — a turning inward, toward materials and palettes that feel rooted, rich, and quietly powerful. Be inspired with Sangengalo Marble & Granite.
Creating spaces with presence
Across studios and showrooms, designers are embracing deeper, nature-drawn tones: the baked reds of terracotta, the gold-rust warmth of iron-rich soil, dense forest greens, smoked purples, and the golden neutrals found in aged timber and weathered clay. In place of stark white-on-white, there’s a movement toward spaces with presence — spaces that feel lived-in, layered, and connected to the natural world.
And stone is at the centre of it.
Emotion and Atmosphere
We are seeing a growing demand for slabs that offer more than polish — materials that hold story and tone. Whether it’s the velvety depth of leathered Zimbabwe Black, the complex warmth of a terra-toned quartzite, or the brush-stroked veining of aged marbles, the aesthetic is clear: design is shifting toward emotion, texture, and atmosphere.
Designers are using stone in new, expressive ways — not just as surfaces, but as feature walls, sculptural vanities, or conversation-starting furniture pieces. Layered with soft cabinetry, brushed brass, mohair, boucle, or raw timber, these slabs complete the story — not as accents, but as foundations.
What’s Trending in the Sangengalo Warehouse:
- Textural finishes that invite touch — leathered, flamed, brushed and antiqued.
- Warm undertones: rust, olive, clay, and plum
- Statement-making slabs with movement and colour variation
- Earthy palettes for luxurious kitchens, wellness spaces, and boutique hospitality projects
This isn’t just about what’s “in” — it’s about what feels right. Design that reflects the land, the light, and the way we want to live.
It’s time to embrace these trends and bring refined edge into your everyday spaces. Check out the current stock at Sangengalo which includes several exceptional materials that speak to this evolution in tone and texture. Whether you’re sourcing for a new residential build or specifying for a large-scale commercial project, the slab collection is curated in-house to meet the moment — and elevate it.
