Subtle, elegant, and luminous in its own right, alabaster in Spain has evolved from being a material reserved for sculpture or architecture to becoming a true centerpiece in interior design. It’s an excellent choice to bring exclusivity and harmony to any space.

Moreover, this natural stone offers endless decorative possibilities—from backlit wall claddings to alabaster sculptures or vases, among others.

At Arastone, we have over half a century of experience in extracting and processing alabaster from our own quarries in Aragón. In this post, we’ll show you how to make the most of alabaster décor in different applications to give your spaces a unique personality.

Alabaster: A Material That Makes a Difference

If alabaster is one of the most highly valued natural stones in interior design, it’s not only because of its unmistakable beauty. It also owes its prestige to its remarkable qualities, including:

• Unique translucency. Its ability to let light pass through softly and evenly creates visual effects that no other material can achieve.
• Versatility. It can be used on walls, ceilings, furniture, or decorative pieces, adapting seamlessly to both classic and contemporary styles.
• Lightness. Despite being a natural stone, its density is lower than that of marble or granite, making it easier to install even on large interior surfaces.
• Exclusivity. Each alabaster slab or block features one-of-a-kind veins and shades, resulting in a truly unique decorative outcome.

Thanks to all these qualities, alabaster has become a reference material in recent years for high-end interior design and architectural projects around the world.

Decorative Uses in Interior Spaces

Why choose alabaster décor? Because this stone can transform the look and feel of any room.

Its main appeal lies in its versatility—a material with countless potential interior applications. Let’s take a look at some of the most inspiring decorative uses:

Alabaster Wall Claddings: Light and Texture on the Walls

Without a doubt, alabaster wall claddings are one of the most striking ways to incorporate this material into interior design.

When used in large-format alabaster panels, it creates continuous surfaces where the natural veins become part of the overall design.

And when combined with LED systems, it produces backlit alabaster, resulting in a warm, immersive, and elegant visual effect.

If you love the idea of decorating with alabaster, Arastone can certainly help. We manufacture custom-cut alabaster panels, adapting to your project’s needs to achieve a flawless finish.

Alabaster Lamps: The Magic of Filtered Light

No other material interacts with light quite like alabaster. That’s why alabaster lamps are another of the most popular applications of this stone in interior décor.

Thanks to its distinctive veining, each piece creates that subtle and cozy lighting effect so highly sought after by interior designers and architects today.

Decorative Elements: Alabaster Sculptures and Vases

An alabaster sculpture or alabaster vase can easily become the focal point of any room. These pieces are crafted from alabaster blocks like those offered by Arastone, representing the perfect blend of tradition and contemporary design.

They fit beautifully in living rooms, lobbies, and transitional spaces—their translucent finish and silky texture bring refinement without overwhelming the décor.

Space Dividers and Furniture

Alabaster is also frequently used in screens, partitions, and room dividers, as well as in furniture design. It helps create intimate atmospheres without sacrificing brightness, while adding a sculptural touch that makes any interior truly exclusive.

This material also pairs wonderfully with others. If you’d like to explore new ways to integrate it, we recommend reading our article on how to combine alabaster with other materials.
