The Stone-Look Laminate Craze: Why Bangalore Homes Are Choosing Rock Over Gloss
In 2025, Bangalore’s interior designers are embracing a bold new finish - stone-look laminates. For years, high-gloss and matte dominated kitchens, wardrobes, and TV units. But now, homeowners are gravitating toward textured stone laminates that bring a natural, earthy feel into modern apartments and villas.
Why Stone Laminates Are Trending
Stone finishes offer the luxury of marble and granite without the cost or maintenance issues. They combine durability with design versatility, making them perfect for high-use spaces like kitchens and foyers. Designers also love that they instantly add texture and depth to interiors, breaking away from plain glossy surfaces.
