Few materials bring warmth and sophistication to an interior like walnut. Stay Studio understands this perfectly. With its deep, rich tones, complex grain, and natural diversity, this wood veneer transforms any space into a refined, inviting environment.
When paired with natural stone featuring gold-like, black, and white patterns, the contrast creates a breathtaking harmony between organic textures and modern elegance.
The striking patterns of gold, black and white veining in natural stone bring movement and depth, while dark walnut veneer tones provide grounding warmth. This balance of contrasts creates interiors that feel both luxurious and natural.
The inclusion of sapwood and knots in the custom walnut veneer adds authenticity and character, reinforcing a handcrafted aesthetic that complements the precision of stone surfaces.

Walnut flows naturally throughout the home, ensuring a cohesive design language. White walls provide a crisp backdrop, allowing the wood’s rich tones to shine. White bookshelves encased in a walnut shell create a striking contrast.
In the kitchen, walnut cabinetry introduces warmth, complementing sleek appliances and stone countertops. In the bedroom, custom walnut veneer accents, from headboards to wardrobes, continue the design narrative, making every space feel connected.

Large windows flood the space with daylight, accentuate the walnut veneer’s natural sheen. The reflective qualities of stone surfaces amplify this effect, creating an airy yet intimate ambiance.
The balance of warm wood veneer tones, neutral stone elements and crisp white walls ensures that the interior remains light and open.

Walnut’s deep brown hues range from chocolate tones to golden streaks, making it adaptable to various interior styles. The complexity of its grain provides visual interest, while its diversity ensures no two installations are identical.
