Smart Ways to Use Stone Remnants in Your Home: Vanities, Bars & Laundry Rooms

Make the Most of Stone Remnants in Your Home

At Precision Granite & Marble, we believe luxury doesn’t have to come with a luxury price tag. If you’re working on a smaller renovation or design project, stone remnants might be the perfect solution. These leftover pieces from larger slab cuts can be repurposed for stunning results—without sacrificing quality or style.

Homeowners in Bluffton and Hilton Head are turning to remnants for creative and cost-effective upgrades in spaces like powder rooms, laundry areas, and wet bars. Let’s explore how to use remnants and why it’s worth considering for your next project.

What Are Stone Remnants?

Stone remnants are exactly what they sound like: smaller pieces of granite, quartz, or marble left over after fabricating a full kitchen or bath job. But don’t think “remnant” means lower quality. These slabs are just as durable and beautiful as their larger counterparts—and often come at a fraction of the cost.

Because remnants vary in size, color, and material, they’re best suited for projects that don’t require a full slab. And at PGMSA, we keep a rotating stock of premium remnants right in our Bluffton showroom.

5 Popular Ways to Use Stone Remnants

1. Bathroom Vanities

Stone countertops instantly elevate a bathroom—and remnants are perfect for smaller vanity tops. Whether you’re updating a powder room or replacing a dated surface in the guest bath, remnants offer an elegant and practical solution.


2. Laundry Rooms

Why not make laundry day a little more enjoyable? Adding a stone counter over your washer and dryer or in a folding station creates a clean, stylish workspace. Remnants are an excellent fit here—affordable, durable, and low-maintenance.


3. Wet Bars & Beverage Stations

Create a high-end look in your entertainment area without a high-end price. Quartz and granite remnants work beautifully in compact bar spaces, coffee stations, or wine nooks. Add a backsplash and some lighting, and you’ve got a showpiece.


4. Mudrooms & Drop Zones

From entryways to built-in cubbies, a small piece of stone offers a sleek, easy-to-clean surface that resists wear and tear. Remnants can also be used for window ledges or custom shelving to tie together a space.


5. Fireplace Hearths & Side Tables

Feeling creative? Some clients have used larger remnants for hearth bases, side tables, or accent walls. It’s a great way to bring natural stone into your design without committing to a full installation.
