Kitchens benefit from the versatile grey palette that works seamlessly with both warm and cool color schemes, complementing stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry, and contemporary kitchen design. The waterproof construction handles daily cooking activities without the staining and maintenance concerns of natural limestone. Open-plan living spaces and dining areas appreciate the sophisticated neutral foundation that allows furniture and décor to take center stage while providing elegant, understated flooring. Hallways and entrances create welcoming yet refined first impressions with limestone aesthetics that suggest quality and taste through contemporary styling. Bedrooms become peaceful retreats with the calming grey tones and natural stone character.

Gallery spaces, creative venues, and modern event spaces benefit from the neutral backdrop that allows art and activities to take focus.
THE VAN GOGH COLLECTION:
The Van Gogh collection represents Karndean's mid-range gluedown offering, with 84 SKUs including diverse stone designs. Limestone represents one of the most popular and timeless natural stone flooring materials, prized for its natural beauty, workability, and soft, elegant appearance. Frosted Stone captures the contemporary interpretation of limestone where traditional warm beiges give way to fashionable cool greys, and polished finishes are replaced by sophisticated honed surfaces. This reflects current design trends favoring grey-toned neutrals and matte finishes over glossy surfaces. The "frosted" designation suggests the careful finishing process that reveals limestone's natural beauty while creating smooth, contemporary surfaces perfect for modern interiors. The 457mm x 610mm tile size provides balanced proportions that work well in various room sizes, creating elegant installations without overwhelming spaces or appearing too busy with excessive grout lines.
FROSTED LIMESTONE AESTHETICS:
Frosted Stone distinguishes itself through its contemporary cool-grey palette and honed finish appearance. Unlike traditional warm-toned limestone in beiges and creams, this design embraces fashionable grey tones that align with modern interior design trends. The "frosted" quality evokes the matte, honed finish that contemporary architecture favors over glossy polished stone, creating sophisticated surfaces that feel modern and refined rather than traditional or rustic. The cool grey palette ranges from soft dove grey to subtle warmer grey undertones, with natural variation across tiles that replicates authentic limestone where no two pieces are identical. The honed finish appearance provides visual interest through subtle texture rather than bold patterns, allowing the stone's natural character to shine through gentle tonal variations and organic markings. This restraint makes Frosted Stone exceptionally versatile, providing elegant flooring that enhances spaces without dominating them—perfect for contemporary interiors where simplicity and quality materials define the aesthetic.
DESIGN VERSATILITY:
The contemporary grey palette and limestone aesthetic make Frosted Stone remarkably adaptable across modern interior styles. In contemporary and minimalist interiors, it provides the perfect neutral foundation where quality materials and clean lines define the space. Industrial-chic designs embrace the grey tones that complement exposed concrete, metal fixtures, and raw materials while adding necessary warmth through natural stone character. Scandinavian and Nordic aesthetics appreciate the light grey tones and natural material authenticity that align with their principles. Modern transitional interiors benefit from the design's ability to bridge contemporary styling and natural material warmth. Urban apartment design finds the grey limestone ideal for creating sophisticated city living spaces. Spa-inspired bathrooms and wellness-focused interiors discover perfect alignment with the calm, neutral aesthetics. The grey palette coordinates effortlessly with virtually any accent color—from warm coppers and blush pinks to cool blues and greens, bold navy or charcoal, or soft pastels. The design works beautifully with both warm wood tones (creating attractive contrast) and cool metals (creating cohesive contemporary schemes).
CONTEMPORARY COOL-GREY TREND:
Grey has emerged as one of the most popular neutrals in contemporary interior design, replacing traditional beiges as the go-to neutral for modern homes and commercial spaces. Frosted Stone capitalizes on this trend while providing the authenticity and warmth of natural stone. Unlike plain grey tiles that can feel cold or industrial, the limestone character adds organic variation, subtle texture, and natural warmth that prevents stark, unwelcoming atmospheres. The cool grey tones reflect contemporary tastes while the stone aesthetics ensure the design won't feel dated as trends evolve—limestone has been valued for centuries and transcends temporary fashion. This makes Frosted Stone a smart investment that aligns with current preferences while maintaining long-term appeal. The grey palette also proves highly practical, showing less dirt and water marks than pure white tiles while remaining light enough to keep spaces feeling bright and open.
TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE:
Van Gogh's technical specifications deliver professional-grade performance that surpasses natural limestone in crucial practical aspects. The 0.55mm wear layer provides substantial protection against scratches, scuffs, and wear patterns, particularly important as natural limestone is a relatively soft stone prone to scratching and wearing. Enhanced by K-Guard+ surface protection and PU coating, the surface resists daily wear while remaining remarkably easy to maintain. Unlike natural limestone requiring regular sealing to prevent staining from spills (especially acidic substances like wine, citrus, and cleaning products), this luxury vinyl maintains pristine appearance with simple sweeping and mopping. The 3.0mm total thickness delivers excellent dimensional stability and sound dampening. Micro bevelled edges create subtle shadow lines defining individual tiles while maintaining clean, contemporary appearance. The 100% waterproof construction means this flooring won't absorb moisture or stain—critical advantages over natural limestone in bathrooms and kitchens where genuine stone requires extensive sealing yet remains vulnerable to permanent staining.
TILE FORMAT AND INSTALLATION:
The 457mm x 610mm (18" x 24") tile format offers versatile installation options and balanced proportions. This classic rectangular size creates elegant layouts whether installed in standard running bond, stacked grid, or brick bond patterns. The moderate size balances contemporary appearance (avoiding overly small traditional tiles) with practical handling and installation flexibility. With 12 tiles per box covering 3.345m², the format proves efficient for bathroom, kitchen, and feature area installations. The tile-to-tile variation ensures authentic limestone appearance regardless of laying pattern, with subtle color and texture differences preventing repetitive, obviously manufactured appearance. The product note mentions rigid core format availability, offering alternative installation methods for different project requirements while maintaining the same beautiful Frosted Stone aesthetic.
INSTALLATION BENEFITS:
Gluedown installation provides optimal performance for stone-look luxury vinyl tiles. The adhesive bond creates completely stable flooring without movement or hollow sounds, essential for replicating genuine stone's solid feel. This method allows creative design possibilities including mixing with other Van Gogh stone designs, incorporating design strips like DS22 Graphite (shown in product imagery) to simulate grouting effects or create borders, and customizing laying patterns. Individual tiles can be replaced if damaged without disturbing surrounding flooring—significant practical advantage over natural stone. The gluedown method handles heavy furniture and rolling loads excellently. Compatibility with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C means enjoying limestone aesthetics with modern comfort, eliminating the cold underfoot sensation of natural stone—particularly valuable as grey tones can psychologically feel cooler, making physical warmth even more appreciated.
MAINTENANCE AND LONGEVITY:
Karndean's Van Gogh stone tiles require dramatically less maintenance than natural limestone while delivering comparable aesthetic appeal. Regular sweeping or vacuuming removes loose dirt, while occasional damp mopping maintains pristine appearance without specialized stone cleaners or sealing products. K-Guard+ enhanced surface protection makes cleaning easier and prevents dirt accumulation in surface texture. No sealing, polishing, or professional restoration required—unlike natural limestone demanding regular maintenance to prevent staining and etching. Waterproof construction means spills simply wipe away without penetrating, while the wear layer prevents scratches from grit that would damage natural stone. The grey coloring cleverly helps conceal light dirt and dust between cleanings better than white tiles, practical advantage for busy households and commercial spaces. The lifetime residential warranty and 15-year commercial warranty provide confidence in long-term durability and appearance retention.
