Luxury Home Trend of the Month: Reeded Stone Profiles Bring Dimension to Modern Homes

Classic Craftsmanship Meets Modern Refinement

Reeded stonework is defined by its softly grooved, rhythmic texture and has become one of today’s most captivating trends in high-end home design. Once found primarily in traditional millwork, this sculptural detail has made a strong comeback in stone applications, from fireplaces to kitchen islands, where it adds depth, movement, and an unmistakable sense of craftsmanship.

At Elegant Stone & Surfaces, we’re seeing homeowners and designers embrace reeded profiles as a way to bridge traditional and modern aesthetics—pairing timeless forms with contemporary materials and finishes.

A Modern Take on a Classic Detail

Our recent installation at a Lennox residence showcases this trend at its finest: a 12-foot reeded fireplace crafted from Paloma Limestone, supplied by Walker Zanger. The stone’s soft, neutral palette enhances the sculptural quality of the vertical fluting, turning a functional feature into a work of art.

Meanwhile, at the 4259 Park Lane residence, we extended the concept to the kitchen and bar. Here, the Calacatta Viola Green Marble and Silver Blue Quartzite, sourced from Taxila Stone, highlight how scaling the reeding can shift the tone—from subtle sophistication to bold architectural expression.

Design Tip:

Adjusting the width, depth, and spacing of the reeds dramatically changes the effect—creating anything from a soft, rhythmic texture to a strong, sculptural statement.

Innovation Through Custom 3D-Printed Samples

Because proportion plays such a key role in achieving the desired look, Elegant Stone & Surfaces offers an exclusive in-house advantage: custom 3D-printed reeded profile samples.

These tactile models enable homeowners, architects, and designers to visualize and physically experience different variations of the profile before fabrication begins, making it easier to select the ideal scale for the space. This service is unique within our industry, reflecting our commitment to precision, education, and collaboration.

The Elegant Difference:

Many homeowners struggle to visualize scale in stone details. Our 3D samples eliminate guesswork, ensuring the final product aligns perfectly with the design vision.

Elegant Stone & Surfaces’ in-house 3D-printed reeded profile samples help clients visualize exact proportions and spacing before fabrication.

Why Reeded Stone Profiles Are Here to Stay

Reeded stone profiles offer a rare combination of texture, light play, and timeless appeal. They can soften modern architecture, add depth to minimalist spaces, or introduce a tailored, handcrafted touch to a neutral palette. Whether used vertically on a fireplace surround or horizontally across a countertop edge, the technique transforms stone into sculpture—celebrating materiality and craftsmanship in every groove.

At Elegant Stone & Surfaces, we see this as more than a trend—it’s a reflection of how today’s clients value texture, artistry, and individuality in their homes.
