Don’t go over budget
-

- Natural Stone pricing varies just like any other material used when building a home. There are high prices and low prices and, naturally, the higher priced stone tends to look better than the rest. You need to keep in mind that you can find cheaper options that can make the room you want to decorate better than the expensive option. When on a budget, consider going with a cheaper natural stone for larger spaces. In a smaller space or backsplash, splurge on a higher priced stone.
