At Vegas Granite and Marble, we’re all about maximizing the beauty and functionality of every piece of stone. When taking on new projects, we encourage our clients to make the most of their materials—even the smaller, leftover pieces.
With a little creativity, these granite, marble, or quartz “remnants” can be repurposed into unique, stylish, and functional additions for your home. From chic cheese boards to sophisticated coasters, remnants offer a sustainable way to add luxury and personality to any space, big or small.
1. Sophisticated Cheese Boards and Serving Platters: Small stone pieces can be transformed into elegant cheese boards or serving platters, ideal for keeping food cool and fresh at gatherings. Add felt pads on the bottom for a smooth, surface-safe finish.
2. Elegant Coasters and Trivets: Cutting remnants into coasters or trivets is a perfect way to add a touch of luxury to your tabletop. Their natural beauty makes them ideal as gifts or conversation starters.
3. Statement Wall Art: Turn your leftover stones into stunning wall art. Combine different colors and patterns to create a unique mosaic that adds depth and texture to any room.
4. Custom Furniture Inlays: Incorporate stone remnants into tables, desks, or headboards as inlays for a luxurious touch. Stone adds elegance and durability, transforming ordinary furniture into statement pieces.
5. Decorative Garden Pathways: Create a beautiful, durable garden pathway with larger stone remnants. The unique textures and colors will add a natural aesthetic to your outdoor space.
6. Custom Bathroom Accessories: Use remnants to craft soap dishes, vanity trays, or toothbrush holders. Coordinate these pieces with your bathroom’s stone surfaces for a seamless, high-end look.
7. Floating Stone Shelves: Create sleek, floating stone shelves from thicker remnants. They’re both visually appealing and highly durable, making them perfect for displaying décor or books.
8. Elegant Window Sills: Replace wooden window sills with granite, marble, or quartz for a stylish, water-resistant upgrade. Stone sills add a sophisticated touch to any room.
9. Unique Doorstops: Polish a heavy stone remnant for a stylish and functional doorstop. This one-of-a-kind solution is both practical and visually appealing.
Tips for Using Remnants
Safety First: If you plan to cut or shape the stone yourself, always use protective equipment. Alternatively, our skilled team at Vegas Granite and Marble can help you achieve a professional finish.
Adhesive: Use the correct adhesive for a secure bond on mixed materials.
Collaborate Creatively: Pair stone with wood or metal for custom projects that combine different textures.
