30 STONE CLADDING & SIDING PANEL IDEAS FOR YOUR HOME’S EXTERIOR-stone cladding

The way the exterior of your home looks is arguably more important than the way it appears inside. Your home’s exterior style and appearance have a lot to do with its value, its curb appeal, and how quickly it’s able to sell when put it on the market.

For these reasons, many homeowners work hard to ensure that their exterior is stylish, kept up, and in keeping with the rest of their home’s architecture. And while there are many different materials on the market to help you do this, not all of them will give you the same beauty, texture, and longevity of natural stone.

ʻO nā manaʻo mua ka mea nui loa. No nā waiwai i loaʻa i ka puka a i ʻole ke ala e komo ai ma o ka hoʻonohonoho i mua mai ka home nui, pono kēia wahi komo i ka manaʻo ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana o ka malihini i kou home.

Ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka Estate Stone e hoʻopaʻa i ka pōhaku, hoʻomāmā a wāwahi i ke kumu, e ʻae ana i kēlā mau kikoʻī e ʻālohilohi.

3. Wahi Wai

If you do a lot of entertaining around your pool area, you’ll want it to make an equally great impression on your guests. Things like built in seating, fire pits, and waterfall features all contribute to both style and functionality for the space. Cladding them all in matching honed stone unifies the area and complements the landscaping at the same time.

4. Paʻa hoʻokalakupua waho

Ua ʻike mua nā poʻe he nui i nā pono o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka paia accent i loko o ka hale e hoʻōla i ko lākou mau paia a me kā lākou hoʻolālā. Ke hoʻohana nei kēia hale i ka paia accent waho e hoʻohālikelike i ka ʻaoʻao o ka panel a hoʻohui i kahi hoihoi i ka hoʻolālā o kēia manawa. Noho ka pā ma kahi kihi 90-degree i ke koena o ka ʻaoʻao, e kāhea ana i ka nānā i ke ala komo a me ka hoʻolālā i ka manawa like.

5. Ke ahi o loko / waho

For homes located in warm climates, it’s common to have lanai or patio areas that are partially indoors and partially outside. This property uses a fireplace in this section of the home for greater versatility both in design and in function. The honed stone cladding on the fireplace complements both areas of the home, with its natural color and sleek, clean edges.

6. Wahi Paina Mawaho

Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi wahi ʻai ma waho o kou home, e hoʻokaʻawale iā ia mai ke koena o ka lumi ma ka hana ʻana i kahi paia leo nani e hoʻopili ai. ʻO kēia wahi he pā hoʻokahi i kāhiko ʻia i ka pōhaku i hoʻonani ʻia, e kōkua i ka nānā ʻana i ka wahi ʻaina, e hoʻokaʻawale iā ia mai loko a me ke koena o ka hoʻolālā ʻāina.

7. Wailele Hiʻona

ʻO ka hoʻohui ʻana i kahi hiʻohiʻona wailele i kāu loko wai e hoʻohui i ka nani ʻike a me ke kani mālie. ʻAʻole hoʻohana kēia hiʻohiʻona o kēia manawa i nā mea hoʻopiha paipu wale nō, e kūlike me ka leo o ka pā ma hope o ia, akā me kahi pā pōhaku i hoʻonani ʻia. Hoʻohālike ka pale ʻana i nā panela o ka pā hou ma hope o ka loko wai, e hana ana i kahi hiʻohiʻona like ʻole, ʻoiai e kūlike ana i nā wahi kūlohelohe o ka pā.

8. Nā Kūlana Kūlana Kūlana

Hōʻike ʻia kēia hale nui ʻano hoʻololi i kekahi mau kikoʻī hoʻolālā hoihoi e nalowale paha ina ʻaʻahu ʻia i ka mea hoʻokahi. Akā, hāʻawi ʻia kēlā me kēia ʻāpana i ka manawa e ʻālohilohi ai, me nā kolamu mua i ʻaʻahu ʻia i ka pōhaku i hoʻohui ʻia i ka pōhaku ʻeleʻele hina i hoʻohana ʻia ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe.

9. Nā Panela Skirting

It’s common in some types of architecture to feature a different material on the lower half of the home than what’s installed at the top. This highlights the different stories of the building and brings greater interest and diversity to the design. This property uses a honed granite panel on the skirt, bringing it right up the edge of the upper story for a stunning contrast in color and texture.

10. Nā Papa Kūikawā

Many people assume that natural stone is traditional or formal in presentation and design, but this isn’t always the case. This very contemporary home gets a facelift mai the use of honed, contemporary stone planks. The planks can be installed in several patterns to get a variety of effects. Here, they’re stacked on top of one another, highlighting the laina laina hoʻolālā hale.

11. Ke kapuahi waho

I ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka pōhaku maoli ma waho, i kekahi manawa hiki i kahi hiʻohiʻona ʻoi aku ke kōkua i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka hiʻohiʻona i ka hoʻolālā ʻāina a me ke ʻano a puni. I kēia hihia, kōkua kahi leo Shadowstone ma luna o ka hoʻopuni hou aʻe e hoʻopaʻa i kēia kapuahi waho me ka wahi kūlohelohe aia ma hope pono.

12. Maʻemaʻe, ʻAno Keʻokeʻo

He mea kaulana ʻo Stucco no ka nui o waho o ka hale, akā maʻalahi paha kona ʻano no kekahi mau waiwai. Loaʻa i kēia hale kahi hāpai i makemake nui ʻia mai he kikokikod white stone cladding on the front. The clean white color of the stone brightens up the exterior, creating a more contemporary façade, while the stucco warms up the rest of the property, adding a subtle contrast.

13. Kūlike wiwo ʻole

No ke kālai ʻana i kēia patio, ua ʻaʻahu ʻia kekahi ʻaoʻao o kahi hale hoʻoheheʻe e pili ana i kahi hohonu, Midnight Shadowstone. Hoʻopili kēia kala ʻeleʻele i ka pā a kōkua i ka nānā ʻana iā ia. ʻO ka mea i hana maoli ai i ka pop design, ʻo ia ka pōhaku māmā e hoʻopuni ana i ke kapuahi kinoea, e hoʻohui pū ana i ka hana a me ka mahanahana ʻike.

14. Hoʻolālā ʻEkolu

ʻO kekahi o nā mea maikaʻi loa e pili ana i ka pale pōhaku ʻo ia ka hiki ke hoʻokomo ʻia ma kahi kokoke i nā ʻili, ma loko a ma waho. I kēia hihia, hahai ka pōhaku iā ʻoe ma lalo pono o ke ala e hele ai i mua o ka home, a laila ʻike hou ʻia a puni ka puka. ʻO kēia hoʻohana ʻekolu-dimensional o ka pōhaku ka hopena o ka huki ʻana iā ʻoe i mua i ka hoʻolālā.

15. Hoʻokaʻawale kikokikona

Sometimes a property can appear more or less contemporary or traditional depending on what it’s been clad in. This very modern home appears much more transitional and in keeping with its surroundings having been clad in a light, multi-color Shadowstone. The texture from the stone contrasts beautifully with the clean lines of the property, giving the entire design a lot of depth.

16. Ka Leo Mua

This home’s architecture would be lost if the entire property were clad in a single color or material. Instead, the lines of the home are brought into sharp detail by the use of a stone panel front. The dark color and texture of the stone contrast with the rest of the property, throwing the front section into relief and calling attention to the design.

17. Na Leo Maalea

Using stone as an accent doesn’t have to create contrast with whatever else you have installed there. This home uses both stone and wood to create a very subtle and detailed design. The Terracotta-colored stone picks up the warm tones from the wood, creating a cohesive design that adds interest without adding contrast.

18. Hoʻonui i ka hohonu

ʻO ka ʻaoʻao ʻeleʻele loa i kekahi manawa ka hopena o ka hana ʻana i ka home me ka palahalaha a i ʻole ʻelua  ananaal. Ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi kapa pōhaku māmā, akā hoʻonohonoho mau ʻia, ma ka pae haʻahaʻa o ka home, hoʻohui ia i ka hohonu i ka hoʻolālā holoʻokoʻa. Ua kūpono nā kala leo hohonu i loko o ka pōhaku i ka ʻaoʻao ʻeleʻele, akā ʻoi aku ka māmā o ke kala holoʻokoʻa o ka pōhaku e hoʻohui i ka ʻokoʻa a me ka hoihoi.

19. Waiwai Elegance

Loaʻa ka hohonu, ka waiwai, a me ka nani o ka pale pōhaku maoli i nele i nā mea ʻē aʻe o waho. Hoʻohanad over the majority of this home, the stone also adds texture and detail that allows the other materials to highlight the architecture. Together, the different sections help ensure that the home’s design is perfectly in keeping with its size and layout.

20. Lae Kūlana ʻĀina

If you entertain frequently, make sure that you have a natural focal point or gathering place as part of your landscaping. This oversized stone fireplace and oven creates a natural seating area and focus within the yard’s design. At the same time, the stone matches up well with the exterior and landscaping, so while it draws the eye, it isn’t because it’s out of place.

21. Seating Area Backdrop

When considering the exterior cladding of the home, don’t just give your consideration to the entrance. This seating area gets a warm backdrop from natural stone used as a cladding on the back wall of the home. The cladding extends inside the lanai as well, unifying the two areas and creating a more fluid living space.

22. Patio Wall

Walls can help to define spaces, provide privacy, and give some security for pets and children. In the patio area, they also need to coordinate with the rest of your landscaping and design. This bluestone wall perfectly matches the patio pavers, while also following the lines of the wall to better define the space.

23. Column Detail

The columns on either side of this porch would be completely lost to the rest of the design if they were clad in the same material as what surrounds them. Instead, they gain focus and interest by being clad in natural stone. The color of the stone also picks up the other cladding and wood accents, creating a unified design that still calls attention to the area.

24. Defining Accent Wall

In oversized properties that have multiple interior and exterior living spaces like this one, each area needs to be defined in order to help set it apart from the rest. This outdoor living room gets its definition from a stone accent wall that reaches up to the next story.

25. Subtle Skirt

Using a natural stone skirt on the bottom of a home or building does not have to mean extending up several feet. Sometimes, just a few feet of skirting at the bottom of a property is all that’s needed to break up the design and add some much-needed interest, detail, color, and texture.

26. Outdoor Living Room Accent

When creating an outdoor living room area, the space needs to have some separation from the inside in order to make it its own. For this reason, materials like natural stone can add the gravity and durability needed to set the space apart and still unify it with its surroundings – in this case, the pool area and landscaping beyond.

27. Pool Accent

This pool area features two very distinct sections that are still accessible to one another. To help define both spaces and still allow them to connect, an archway and columns are placed between them. The color and texture of the stone helps to brighten the space, adding contrast to the city scape and colors beyond.

28. Subtle Detail and Depth

Using natural stone does not have to mean adding a lot of color and attention-grabbing detail. Sometimes, a more subtle approach is warranted. This dark Shadowstone panel has texture and depth, but won’t overwhelm or call too much attention to any single area.

29. Architectural Detail

Natural stone can add depth and interest without adding texture, as well. For more contemporary properties, a honed panel like this one can add architectural detail and interest that complements the rest of the lines on the property without contrast.

30. An Alternative to Brick

Some properties need more contrast or texture than simple wood cladding can provide. But using brick doesn’t always give the desired result either, as brick is often seen on much fewer property types. This church solves these issues by using natural stone in an area typically reserved for brick, maintaining the contemporary look of the building.
