In this interior of character, the exposed stone walls are combined with a rich and deep color with a matte finish. A relevant choice: the atmosphere of the show is soft, friendly and very cozy. In this setting in perfect balance between naturalness and sophistication, the stones are sublimated. We therefore opt for a claimed stripping, in order to better highlight them.

20. Avoid wall decorations

Avoid wall decorations (1)

In a small living room, the exposed stone wall is sufficient on its own. We will carefully avoid wall decorations, so as not to visually overload the room. On the other hand, we gladly play it as a backdrop, for example by opting for a suspension that we drop very low.

21. Wood stove and its pipe transform into a decorative element

wood stove and its pipe that transform into a decorative element (1)

In this living room that plays with codes, it is the wood stove and its pipe that transform into a decorative element to enhance the exposed stone wall. The contrast between stone and metal is a classic, but it still has its effect. Especially when the ground is involved, as here: we fall for the very successful mineral opposition between elegant stone on the wall and raw concrete on the ground.

22. Temptation of the section of wall

temptation of the section of wall (1)

In beautiful volumes, beware of the temptation of the section of wall entirely in room: the result could be overwhelming. For a long time, we contented ourselves with alternating exposed stone and a section of white wall. For a more original trendy decor, however, we will dare the metal effect, ideal for sublimating stones.

23. The exposed stone wall makes the show

This living room with an exposed stone wall displays a resolutely ethnic chic decoration . A style which gives pride of place to raw materials, such as wood and metal, and which allows a touch of exuberance. We therefore arranged several pieces of wall decoration. The good idea: the artisanal plastron-style necklace, the refinement of which contrasts with the raw stone, without going overboard.

24. Breathe a little lightness

Breathe a little lightness (1)

In this very mineral living room, the idea was to breathe a little lightness into the room. We therefore opted for an XXL curtain. The fabric indeed offers a dimension much greater than what one would have expected, because it is less a question of closing the window than of balancing the decoration. A task brilliantly accomplished, just by using a few folds of fabric!

25. Natural stone wall

In the living room, the natural stone wall goes wonderfully with an industrial decoration. Now is the time to dare the industrial clock, opting for a 100% metal and openwork model: a piece that combines the very raw character of the factory spirit, without overdoing it.

26. Elegantly decorate the exposed stone wall

elegantly decorate the exposed stone wall (1)

In order to elegantly decorate the exposed stone wall in the living room, one should first of all take into account the variety of the stone in question. With a light stone, we play on the contrast by focusing on darker shades. With a dark stone, we allow ourselves the tone on sound, for a cozy, sophisticated and a bit mysterious rendering. Here, the fireplace and the vases are available in an almost monochrome version, and it works wonderfully!

27. Contrast of colors and materials

contrast of colors and materials (1)

While it is wise to play with the contrast of colors and materials to decorate the exposed stone wall of a living room, it is just as smart to dare the opposition between ancestral natural stone and technology. We therefore dare the resolutely high-tech insert, for example by using the television as a decorative element in its own right!

28. Mineral stone is sublime

If the mineral stone is sublime, it can turn out to be a little strict for a convivial living room. To soften and warm it, it is traditionally associated with wood. The good idea: combine practicality and aesthetics by using the niche. Here, it is an XXL model which decorates the exposed stone wall of the living room, allowing at the same time to benefit from a substantial reserve of wood.

29. Fall for the retro trend

Do you fall for the retro trend? Fall for the irresistible sun mirror by favoring a rattan model. Depending on the dimensions of the exposed stone wall in your living room, you can use it solo or combine several mismatched models.

30. Refined decoration

If the exposed stone wall prefers a refined decoration, it may be necessary to opt for a shelf in order to cram a few books in the living room, for example. In this case, bet on wood. A vegetal note is welcome. This is a great opportunity to exhibit a ceramic vase or soliflore, the delicacy of which will enhance the raw aspect of the stones.
