In Yellow/Brown Kota Stone, a lovely idea for Garden Steps or for your outdoors.
While this is done in Yellow/Brown Kota Stone, this can be done in any stone in any surface finish. Sandstone, Granite, Marble, whatever fits your project and the aesthetics of your project.
If you take an aerial shot using a drone, these would look like polka dots!
What does your project demand? Share with us and we will help you with some amazing options in Indian Natural Stone.

Do they look like robot-age cobbles? 😀
We can credit the person who took this picture.
These aren’t black, in case that’s how the pic shows to your eyes.
These are the classic ever-pleasing colors of Kota Stone cobbles. Machine-cut edges. And very good quality natural-feeling surface finish done at K. K. Stones Ahmedabad.
Would be interesting to see when the work gets over.
Do you have a project and an expanse that would look great with such cobbles? Do let us know.

It feels like small sized stone bring an endless stimulation. An perennial trigger to imagine things.
Look at this pattern.
Work in progress for a driveway. Colors are sorted but mingling all the same. Looking at the pattern and colors in this pic, the feeling is one of enchanting depth.
Now look at another pattern.
There are 4 colors and the cobbles are well-sorted based on the colors. The patterns in paving make interesting use alternating colors. Pic of work in progress, it would be interesting to see how it looks at the end.
Fascinating! How are you shaping your project? Would cobble patterns make your project interesting?

It’s crazy how interior designers and architects and even sellers of stone and hyper-expensive luxury marble think. And it’s crazy how even house-owners who are doing up their houses think.
Just because typical house layouts have square or rectangular shaped rooms doesn’t mean the flooring has to be the same. If anything, the flooring needs to disrupt and break the TYRANNY OF THE SQUARE/ RECTANGLE.
How do you do that? You do that by using crazy, non-uniform, dimensional stone slabs and stone pieces.
What you see in the picture can easily be done outdoors. But it can look so so gorgeous indoors too. The question is, do we have the kaarigars to pull it off?

We can broadly classify flooring patterns into 2:
And a third pattern that can probably have a balanced mix of the above 2. Let’s call it Mixed Pattern.
Using large slabs of stone, granite or marble in flooring means you are depending on the natural patterns to lend beauty to the flooring and over-all design of the space.
On the other hand, using stone, granite or marble of relatively smaller dimensions in flooring means you are introducing man-made patterns to combine with natural patterns to lend beauty to the design of the space.
Big slabs would disappoint your eyes sooner than latter. Look at the flooring of places you visit carefully.
Look at this floor. Good chance that if you like watching TV you may have come across this.
Oh no! This floor wasn’t featured for its beauty in the first place, it just happens to be a part of a corruption story from Delhi. You guessed it?
Irrespective of the story, just look at the floor. This floor couldn’t be done without top-notch masons and natural stone.
Isn’t it wow!
So many house-builders and owners aren’t patient enough for a thing that will (or should) last probably a lifetime or many lifetimes.
Don’t let vitrified tiles fool your senses.

I’ve never liked the word ‘flat’. But someone must have used for his/her purposes in some situation and it has stuck since then.
House, Home, Bungalow, Row-house, Tenement, Hut, Cottage, Stable, Shade, Shelter, Flat!
More and more folks buying flats are buying big slabs for flooring. If ‘flat’ the word weren’t this bad, now there’s enough done to ensure flatness in the look of a flat too.
Slabs ensure that the flat achieves its flatness. Wisdom would suggest, “Reduce the flatness from this flat”.
What would you do to reduce the flatness? Hire an interior designer?
What we witness in our age is a serious serious deficit of patience. Gurus tell us and we acknowledge, and then we fall back to rectangulism as soon as we come to interior design and such matters.
In the background you see a gate made about 600 years back in Lucknow. 600 years! What would it take to make something as beautiful right now? Don’t tell me money!
Which project are you working on? Using classic natural Indian stone and finishes?

Your choice of flooring for your house depends on quite a few factors. One of the factors is how does it feel to the soles of your feet. Repeat:
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET?
But then now so many of us wear slippers most of the times when we are indoors. And so the feeling to the soles is kind of lost. And then flooring becomes just a matter of visual pleasure.
This looks good, that looks good.
I am confused.
Oh this color is not so good. Let’s check some more colors.
Oh this doesn’t match the color of the table!
Oh, but we chose that laminate. And so this color will look good.
Our senses have gone for a toss and so has our sense of designing. But some small reminders may help. But then who reminds whom… When? After the interior design is horribly done, it’s all a matter of criticisms, odd expressions and jealousies.
There’s this semi-fraud-acquaintance who took a lot of assistance from my Dad in getting stone and design related work for his big house project. I am compelled to call it house coz it’s hard to call it bungalow.
One of the features of this man’s project is the numerous kinds of stone and surface material he has used to garnish his house with, both inside and outside.
Needless to say, I was appalled at the way it all felt when I got a chance to visit this site once, more than a year back. The work’s still going on I hear.
Taj Mahal is primarily a one stone work.
Kailash Temple, they say, is not just one stone, it is one-rock work. Incredible, isn’t it.
Now, for the sake of funny arguments, a professional like an architect or an interior designer or a status-symbol-maker may say but these are public monuments, not houses for living. So let me ask another question.
Would you want a house that looks as gorgeous as a monument or a house that looks like a hodge-podge of materials?
Funny argumenter may even say, “But monuments require more money and space to make.” Really? Is that so?
The practitioners and house-makers of today’s age seem to earn a lot from the use of materials instead of the use of imagination. Bitter and easier said and true wherever I see.
