Limestone Flooring Finishes and Designs

You can choose a finish and design to match your space and personal style. The finish of your limestone flooring can change the entire aesthetic of the room. 

  • A honed finish offers a smooth, matte surface that is contemporary, understated and elegant, ideal for minimalist designs.
  • A tumbled finish has an aged appearance that lends to rustic charm, and a country-style feeling.
  • The glossy sheen of polished limestone is a sophisticated option for formal spaces like dining rooms or grand foyers.
  • Brushed or textured finishes have a subtle texture and are more slip-resistant, so they are perfect for bathrooms or outdoor areas.

When it comes to designs, limestone tiles can be cut in classic square formats, hexagonal patterns, or you could discuss a custom cut with your installer. If you want to show off the stone’s natural patterns you may be interested in a vein-cut or crosscut of the stone.
