The beauty and versatility of natural stone allows for creativity throughout the home. Cambria is no exception, with stunning designs that can be used for more than just countertops. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite alternative applications, including Cambria as a sleek kitchen backsplash, a bold shower surround, and statement fireplace. These installs prove Cambria natural stone is suitable for much more than a kitchen work surface.
Kitchen backsplash
Backsplashes are a great way to create a focal point that matches your countertop or provide a complementary accent to your Cambria. Whether it reaches from counter to ceiling or just to the cabinetry, using Cambria as a kitchen backsplash provides another stylish option from traditional tile, with the added benefits of durability and easy-clean convenience (no grout lines to clean).

Fireplaces
Nothing completes a living room quite like a luxe fireplace. In addition to the function it provides on cooler nights, a well-crafted fireplace serves as a stunning focal point all year long. If you have an open-concept kitchen, consider using the same design for your kitchen countertops and fireplace for a cohesive look, as in this beautiful great room with Brittanicca fireplace from Jaclyn Peters Design. For a distinct statement with your fireplace surround, choose a Cambria design that offers unique contrast or texture. No matter the design you choose, a natural stone Cambria fireplace surround elevates your space with lasting luxury and timeless style.

Showers
A dream bathroom is all in your design choices. Cambria is ideal for the spaces you use every day, with durability that ensures its beauty will last over time. Upgrading a tile shower to Cambria is both trend-forward and smart. There is no grout to deal with and Cambria’s nonporous surface means mold and mildew are no longer a worry. Use the same Cambria design for the vanity and the shower or pair complementary designs for a polished look.
