White tiles, black cabochon: why these colors?

Black and white cabochon paving is a traditional and popular choice for several reasons :

1. Visual Contrast : The contrast between black and white creates a strong visual impact and highlights the geometric or decorative pattern of the cabochons. The contrasting colors allow the patterns to stand out and capture attention, creating a striking aesthetic effect.

2. Timeless Elegance : Black and white are considered classic and timeless colors, associated with elegance and refinement. The use of these two colors in cabochon paving adds a touch of sophistication to the space, whether in a historic building or a modern interior.

3. Versatility and Adaptability : Black and white are neutral colors that harmonize with a wide range of interior design styles and layouts. They can adapt to various environments, whether in classic, contemporary, or minimalist designs.

4. Historical reference : Black and white stone tiles have been used since Roman antiquity to create intricate geometric patterns. By using these traditional colors, black and white cabochon pavings evoke a sense of tradition and historical reference.

5. Ease of Maintenance : Black and white marble or natural limestone tiles are generally easy to maintain. Stains and dirt are less visible on these contrasting colors compared to lighter shades, making them easier to clean and maintain regularly.

However, it is important to note that cabochon paving is not limited to just black and white. There is a wide variety of colors and materials available for cabochons, allowing for customization according to individual preferences and the desired decorative style.
