Slate and Artstone - When you look at a set of stone coasters, you are seeing objects that were formed by the earth itself. Their evolution took millions of years, slowly melting and molding, and developing the unique characteristics which adorn the surface of the stone. Their life story is a saga of ages that has witnessed the rise and fall of whole species, buried deep beneath the earth.
While these pieces are generally purchased for functionality, as a means of keeping water from hitting the surface of a table, they can also be quite effective as decorating tools, allowing you to change the entire look and feel of a space at whim.
If the coasters are natural stone, without an image printed on them, they can be used to create a natural feel in the home. They have a surface of rock, that matches the mountain they were taken from, and so by spreading them throughout an environment you can get a very natural, outdoors, or even rustic look.
Many sandstone coasters are also printed with attractive images which allow you even more decorating options. You can create a cat theme, or a feel of ancient history, or even just add bright and vibrant colors to a room using various types of printed coasters in different rooms.
Another decorative advantage of the coaster is that it is quite small. This is especially true when they are stacked in a single place. However when an entire set is spread out throughout a home, it is quite possible to cast a web of color over the space, completely altering the feel of the environment.
Stone coasters are especially good at this because they are relatively heavy and solid. They are made from actual mountain born rock, so even though they are small, they have quite a presence. This makes them more imposing than lighter plastic or aluminum pieces. - 30198
