Art deco is a style that’s both sophisticated and comfortable, a sort of “meet-in-the-middle” option for the old and the new. Can stone countertops fit into this design? We’ll just let these gorgeous examples speak for themselves.
More about the art deco look
Exploring the art deco look leads to some beautiful results. This style took flight in the early 1900s. It was (and still is) a mix of many different styles, changing with the times in order to stay contemporary and up-to-date. As the years passed, new designs became a part of this look, leading right up to what art deco is today. This home is a perfect example of what an art deco home interior could look like:

Stone countertops and art deco
Stone countertops are a great way to get the “sophisticated” look of an art deco home. There are so many places to use stone in your home to make it a big part of this style. In the kitchen, bathroom, and living room, stone helps bring the art deco look to life with its natural beauty.

An art deco living room is a great place for a vintage fireplace, and marble is a popular stone for both fireplaces and art deco homes. For example, this white marble fireplace captures the essence of an art deco design perfectly:
