How are pebbles formed?
For those who like to be informed about the background of the materials used for home décor, pebbles are rock pieces from sedimentary rock, formed naturally due to weathering by sun, wind, water, and other such geographical processes. The rubbing action of water renders the characteristic smoothness to these small rock pieces that can be held in hands.
Pebble stones are usually found close to water bodies – lakes, river shores, river beds, and seashores.

Home décor ideas using pebble stones and decorative stones:
Pebbles are widely used in home décor. Pebble stones are largely used in home exteriors like patios, gardens, and poolsides. In-home interior applications include a showcase, mini-home aquarium, and pots with natural and artificial plants.
1) Teakwood pebbles: They are smooth rounded pieces of stone made from the tumbling of small rock fragments. Normally round in shape, they are the perfect choice for landscaping purposes. Teakwood pebbles have wide-ranging applications. They are used for exterior and interior wall cladding, garden pathways, poolside, waterfalls, bathrooms, walkways, and plant decorations.
2) Red pebbles: Red pebble stones are made by tumbling Dholpur red sandstones. They can be used for creating designs in wall cladding, pathways, and various decoration purposes.
3) Rainbow pebbles: Rainbow pebbles are made by tumbling rainbow sandstone fragments of rocks. These rainbow pebbles exhibit streaks of multi-colour, giving them the ability to blend in any environment. Rainbow pebbles can suit and design or style. They are the perfect landscaping material for use at swimming pools, walkways, gardens, and waterfalls.
4) Green pebbles: They are made by tumbling fragments of green gravel. They are excellent for landscaping and give a decorative accent to garden or outdoor patio areas. They are very versatile and add colour, texture, and shape to indoor and outdoor spaces.
5) Pink pebbles: Pink pebbles are made by tumbling Dholpur pink sandstones. Pink pebbles are widely used for indoor and outdoor purposes, besides being used to create designs in wall cladding and outdoor gardens.
6) Black pebbles: They are found at the riverside. Black pebbles are resistant to weathering and therefore retain their original texture for a longer time. They are sorted, washed, and graded manually at the rivers. Decorative black pebbles are widely used in home interiors and exteriors, as they add colour and texture to the living spaces. Black pebbles are perfect for pots, gardens, paths, and outdoor rocky & water features.

Being multicolour, they have a wide-ranging application, giving a natural decorative look to spaces. Available at a very affordable rate, they also need minimal maintenance.
8) Decorative polished pebbles: Decorative pebbles are specially polished and glossy in appearance. They are made from white quartz, natural granite, and marble. These are widely used in home aquariums, interior decorations, fountains, pathways, pots, gardens, and landscaping. Because of glossy polishing, they come at a relatively higher price tag. Decorative pebbles are in high demand due to their varied applications.
