Using dark tones in interiors does not mean you will get a dark apartment, lacking light. It also does not necessarily mean that you can only combine dark coloured materials with other dark materials. The wonderful game of combining colours and textures is called interior design. Variation makes it more interesting.

Ceppo de Gres stone is being used in the bathroom in combination with dark wooden furniture, but also with warm wood and white wall. Combination of colours and shades creates a specific design depth to the space.
