Hot tub surround ideas/inspiration needed

[WetSaw]

I've got to reform this tired hot tub. The floor around the outside will be staying, I'll be sealing it but the client likes it..
I'll also be painting the shell, colour not fixed yet but probably dark blue.
What I'm struggling with is the outside ( currently mosaic ). I quite like the idea of big tiles cut to suit, I suspect the budget won't stretch to a single tile on each section but reckon it could probably be done with a single grout line.
The client likes the tones of the rock wall behind...

I'm waiting to be inspired!

Some "local" stone would make sense surely?

Riven/textured to provide a non slip area to stand on.

Maybe, I thought it might start to look a bit Flintstone though!

Stone mosaics?

Stone mosaics are rich and timeless

I’ve offered my services before but it’s never required!

It's going to be fun because the client wants it done when he's not here, that's July and August. I'll have a few early starts before it gets too hot in there.

Riven Sandstone copings around the top with stone mosaics?

Something like this maybe 22mm sandstone can look good and even better when its wet and is non slip , really depends on your budget , good luck with it though cheers kop
