In contemporary homes, many people consider the vestibule to be a problem area for flooring. And, that point of view has some merit. After all, the vestibule can be entered from a number of different directions. It is essentially a hall with many doorways. In addition, vestibules are often odd-shaped, and they are almost always located in high traffic areas within a home.
But, for all its challenges, the vestibule represents an important opportunity to create value and distinctiveness in a home. When it comes to selecting flooring for a vestibule, much of the challenge is a result of the fact that the flooring material used in the connecting hallways is often completely different. Furthermore, selecting flooring material that can withstand a lot of foot traffic is an important consideration in most homes.
A vestibule represents an ideal space to create something interesting and eye-catching. Because it is generally a high traffic area within a home, the right design using the right materials can create lasting interest and pleasure by virtue of the multiple daily visual impressions that these spaces generate. Natural stone provides an excellent solution to the challenge of incorporating creative materials that can meet the demands of these high traffic areas.
Stone wears extremely well and is a good insulator for both winter and summer. A smaller cost-effective medallion, which is surrounded by concentric bands of small pieces of stone, can be an easy and elegant way of filling out a vestibule of any shape or size. If your budget has a little left over, you can consider creating or utilizing a more intricate design in the medallion.
When we manufacture vestibule medallions at Motif Stone Creations, the entire pattern is glued to mesh as one large piece. This makes installation easy and inexpensive. If you decide to try to install a vestibule medallion without the assistance of a licensed contractor, we recommend you first visit our website at www.motifstone.com to gather tips for proper installation.
