Gypsum decorative stone and its features
Gypsum stone for interior decoration is very convenient. It is easy to process, lightweight, and relatively low in cost. Most often, it is sold unpainted, and this allows you to choose any desired shade.

How to combine decorative stone with a classic style
Often home craftsmen doubt whether it is possible to combine such a “wild” material as stone with a sublime classical style. In fact, it can not only be combined with the classics, but also add charm to it. The main thing here is to avoid piling up. After all, everything is good in moderation.
Classicism implies moderation, which means it is better not to have too much stone. Piling up here will backfire. A parallel can be drawn with roses. After all, it will be completely unusual to look at such a flower if there is not one bud on the stem, but, for example, five or six. In order to make it easier for the respected reader to understand, we offer several photos of the decoration with artificial stone in the interior of the hallway of the apartment exactly in combination with the classic style:

How to combine artificial stone with Provence style
To create such a style as "Provence", decorative stone is most often used in the interior of the kitchen. In this case, the colors are chosen lighter, and the texture is noticeably uneven. The more irregularities there are on the surface of the panels or tiles, the brighter the line of "Provence" will be.
Recently, this style is gaining more and more popularity. This is due to the fact that home craftsmen like the decoration of the old French chalets. However, it should be understood that such material is more difficult to clean. After all, the more irregularities on the surface and the deeper they are, the more difficult it is to wash out of them the dirt or grease that is inherent in the kitchen.But home craftsmen are ready to make such sacrifices, for the sake of aesthetics and beauty. Below you can find examples of combining this durable material with the Provence style:
