Homeowners everywhere want to optimize their home’s design. We spend countless hours in our homes, so the details of our homes matter. For homeowners in Raleigh, stone veneer siding offers tons of design opportunities, whether you’re building a new home and need a strong exterior or remodeling your living room.
Stone veneer is a great option for interior and exterior home design, and the following projects might inspire a few of your own ideas.
The “Endless Possibilities” of Stone Veneer Siding
We’re not the only ones who think stone veneer siding is an ideal solution for new homes. “Stone veneer siding, which is designed to mimic natural stone, is a popular way to spruce up a home’s exterior. It is more affordable than natural stone siding and provides a great return on investment,” writes Britteny at Brick and Batten.
Stone veneer isn’t just a cost-efficient way to amp up your exterior. It’s highly versatile when it comes to styling your home. “Stone siding is a smart design choice for your home’s exterior. Go big and cover the entire exterior in stone or start small with accents — the possibilities are endless.” writes Britteny at Brick and Batten.
Not only that, it’s easy to create your own custom look with stone veneer. “It’s incredibly versatile and comes in a wide range of textures, shapes, colors, and sizes,” writes Britteny. Stone veneer is also more lightweight than other products and easier to install than traditional stone masonry.
But let’s see how other homeowners have used stone veneer in their design — the ideas and possibilities might surprise you.
Stone Veneer Style Inspiration
Stone veneers are a great way to accentuate every part of your home, but adding it to your exterior can go a long way. ”No matter how good the interior of your home looks, buyers have already judged your home before they walk through the door. You never have a second chance to make a first impression,“ according to HGTV. “You can typically get a 100-percent return on the money you put into your home’s curb appeal.”
Garages are a great place to add stone veneers, as well. Using a combination of brick and stone will give your exterior distinction and help to define the look of your home. Stone works well with other materials and cladding styles and brings additional protection to the exterior. The texture provided by the veneer gives the exterior a dynamic look.
This patio design from Stonecraft adds luxury and comfort, and the outdoor fireplace makes the space even cozier. Stone and wood contrast well with each other in this outdoor entertainment space.
Stone veneers also work well in interior design. Pairing a gray stone accent wall from Evolve Stone with a lavender built-in shelf design delivers a clean, handsome look to this modern living room. All the natural elements in the space speak to the outdoor views, made more accessible to homeowners because of the expansive and beautiful glass door.
Stone veneers always look great around a fireplace, and we love how the stone design of this fireplace feature helps it stand out. Using products from Versetta Stone, wood and other natural materials give the space an airy, organic feel.
Beautifying the often neglected parts of your home design will go a long way. “Looking for a sure thing? Take your efforts outdoors because the average return at resale for landscaping is 100%,” according to HGTV. This landscape and stair design are accentuated by the backdrop of an impressive stone veneer retaining wall from ProVia. An upper patio area gives homeowners and visitors to the space a way to admire the view below.
