If you’re leaning towards adding stone to your fireplace you need to consider the grout!
Just as in tile, natural and faux stone have a few options on how they are installed. Those being…
- Dry Stack- Stones fit tightly together, almost no grout lines show, contemporary feel
- Traditional Rake Back- Stones placed with small grout lines showing, grout is raked back and recessed, traditional style
- Over Grout- Large grout lines smooth stone edges for an old world cottage effect, popular in farmhouse style, and rustic homes
All methods can look great depending on the style of your home!
Oh, and don’t forget color, your grout can be white or dark and anywhere in between! 😉
