Although masonry is a timeless choice when designing a new structure, key trends have been identified that elevate a project to new standards. Stay on trend with these styles for 2019!

Textures

Modern designs with sleek finished are a key when deciding on your masonry block. Smooth, honed and polished blocks provide a blank canvas for designing spaces and also enable you to develop spaces that evoke a sense of harmony and Zen. In contrast, the use of different textures can against a smooth surface create a point of interest. Try mixing it up and making a feature or two!

Colours

Light colours with natural tones, provide the perfect backdrop to any design. Light colours can make spaces look larger and ensure spaces can have versatile uses. Combined with natural elements, including stone and wood, light tones help create a cosy, warm, and friendly environment.

Creativity in design

While designs have seen an increase in modern and minimal designs, creativity has been reintroduced through clever uses of blocks, space and colour. Infinity illusions are a new trend characterised by an exterior masonry or stone that continues through to an interior wall, making a grand impression and an illusion of an infinity wall.

Features

Using masonry to introduce warmth has been achieved through the creation of features throughout a space. This has been seen particularly in bathrooms, where traditionally they have been designed to be minimalist spaces. The introduction of stone and contracting masonry has enabled for natural tones and spaces that exuberate warmth and cosy atmospheres.

Larger Blocks

The want to create greater and open spaces has seen the introduction of larger masonry which provides greater uninterrupted surface areas. Again, this lends itself to a modern style, however, is a versatile design choice which would benefit an array of design styles.
