Design Tips for Using Natural Facing Stone Veneer for Porches and Entryways

  • Blend with Your Home’s Exterior
    Choose stone veneer that complements the existing colors and materials of your home. Earthy tones like browns and grays provide a seamless transition, while lighter or bolder shades can add a striking contrast for a standout feature.

  • Enhance with Built-In Features
    Incorporate natural stone veneer into functional elements, such as built-in seating, planters, or steps. These features not only add practicality but also create a polished, cohesive design that ties the space together.

  • Create Continuity Across Features
    Extend the use of stone veneer beyond the porch or entryway by incorporating it into nearby elements like pathways, columns, or exterior walls. This unifies your design, adding depth and flow to your home’s exterior.
