Silvax

The resurgence of travertine is the inspiration behind Silvax. Designers who have an interest in prehistory and archaeology look to showcase the beauty, colour and texture of nature. Silvax recreates the discernible banded structure of sedimentary limestone, with its tiny, oxidised markings of misty clays and silvery greys.

Its stone finish creates a natural and earthy feel, and is popular for outdoor spaces, living rooms, or rustic-themed interiors. To create the subtle nature-inspired look, mix Silvax benchtops with timber and stone features.

The superior functionality of Caesarstone Porcelain can be used for kitchen benchtops, islands, splashbacks and dropdown panels. Also designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, extreme heat and any form of staining, Caesarstone Porcelain is a surface of exceptional functionality and beauty for outdoor kitchens.

Warmer hues are increasingly popular when choosing how to decorate the home. Featuring a warm white base with prominent veining, Marbannova is infused with striations of subtle gold, warm grey and muted copper.

Pair Marbannova with warm oatmeal, sand, raw linen and earthy browns shades to evoke a light, sunny feel to a room. Its silk finish creates a clean and contemporary look and works well in bathrooms and kitchens, particularly if the spaces catch the sunlight.

Lucillia

Caesarstone prides itself on creating beautiful, high-quality and unique surfaces that empower you to create a home that reflects your own personal sense of style and character. White surfaces are a timeless option when wanting to inject coloured furniture into a space. (Credit: Supplied)

Combining the luxury and translucency of marble with the patina of weathered stone, Lucillia features a warm white base washed with fine, icy veins that crackle across the entire surface.

Timeless whites such as Lucillia instil elegance and style and allow for limitless aesthetic pairing options. If you’re looking to create further depth to the kitchen, implement homewares with subtle caramel accents, or soft, earthy toned furnishings for a subtle pop of colour.

Libretta’s warm-white base, with light-grey undertones, is suffused with complex veining in soft feathery greys and darker, charcoal striations. The soft, matte surface creates a light-reflective visual focal point that is both elegant and unobtrusive.

Due to its detailed veining, pair with simple, neutral décor to deliver a sleek, sophisticated, and statement look for your kitchen.

Marenstone

Marenstone takes its inspiration from ancient, crushed seashells that, over time, have been reduced to fine particles of sand that metamorphose into limestone. Marenstone is a simple, timeless surface design with an ivory base and a granular patina in beige and deep bronze.

Dusty-pink, rose-gold and bronze shades complement a Marenstone surface and when paired, brings a beachside feel to a home. Consider adding extra features such as brass tapware and clay homewares to enhance the Hamptons style of coastal allure and upscale elegance.

Mosstone

The name says it all! Picture a beautifully weathered, milky white stone and envisage the adornment of a mottled layer of moss, in a combination of muted sage and deeper green, across its entire surface. Then, add the patina of iodised impurities and subtle rust veins – that’s Caesarstone Mosstone.

Mosstone’s woodland aesthetic blends perfectly with deeper shades of brown and lighter beige tones to create a natural finish to indoor and outdoor kitchens. To further elevate the space, add a dash of deep red – decorate the benchtop with a fruit bowl of pomegranates, apples and plums.

Auralux

Archaeology, ancient fossils and minerals were the inspiration behind Auralux. With a neutral earthy grey base, this porcelain comes alive with its complex composition of tiny shells, grains and aggregates, together with flecks of impurities in taupe, putty and weathered white.

Auralux brings a natural warmth to a kitchen or living room. It’s best to match the surface against wooden furnishings and other touches of oranges, browns and auburns. Suitable for a simple home interior, touches of nature – potted plants and flowers – create an inviting, homely ambience.

Smokestone

Smokestone is bold, striking and completely transforms a home. The contrast between its deep midnight-black base and chalk-white striations creates a powerful look for any interior. Though rough in its finish, the aesthetic of irregular calcite streaks and layers of earthy impurities creates a surface that exudes luxury and timeless elegance.

Smokestone is rich, intense and versatile in character, and can be combined with black cabinetry and flooring for an achromatic scheme or to introduce contrast, implement white or grey cabinetry and flooring. Consider more refined lighting options around a Smokestone surface to subtly brighten up the space.
