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.

Stone cladding and siding panels add richness and appeal to any area you install them on, including all areas of your home’s exterior and landscaping. Check out these 30 stone cladding and siding panel ideas to help gain some inspiration for your property.

1. Porter og bueganger

Førsteinntrykket er ofte det viktigste. For eiendommer som har en port eller buegang for å gå inn gjennom settet framover fra hovedhjemmet, må dette inngangspunktet gjøre inntrykk før den besøkende i det hele tatt ankommer hjemmet ditt. Få din til å skille seg ut med en Estate Stone-kledning som umiddelbart setter tonen for resten av eksteriøret og landskapsarbeidet ditt.

2. Steinaksenter

Det er få materialer som er mer holdbare å kle utsiden av hjemmet ditt med enn murstein og naturstein. Murstein er et populært materiale for sin stil og holdbarhet, men å kle hele hjemmet i det kan bety å skjule noe av arkitekturen og detaljene. Ved å bruke Estate Stone til å fremheve mursteinen, lysner og bryter den opp mønsteret, slik at detaljene skinner gjennom.

3. Bassengområde

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. Utvendig aksentvegg

Mange har allerede oppdaget fordelene ved å bruke en aksentvegg innendørs for å live opp veggene og designen deres. Dette hjemmet bruker en utvendig aksentvegg for å kontrastere panelkledningen og legge til litt interesse til den moderne layouten. Veggen sitter i en 90-graders vinkel til resten av sidekledningen, noe som vekker oppmerksomhet til inngangspartiet og arkitekturen på samme tid.

5. Innendørs/Utendørs peis

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. Utvendig spisestue

Hvis du har et spiseområde utenfor hjemmet ditt, skiller du det fra resten av rommet ved å lage en elegant aksentvegg for å ramme den inn. Denne plassen har en enkelt vegg kledd med finslipt stein, som bidrar til å bringe oppmerksomhet til spiseområdet, og skiller det fra både innsiden og resten av landskapet.

7. Fossfunksjon

Ved å legge til en fossefallfunksjon i bassenget får du både visuell skjønnhet og rolig lyd. Denne moderne funksjonen bruker ikke bare rørfyllere, som matcher tonen i gjerdet bak, men også en finslipt steinkledning. Kledningen etterligner panelene til det moderne gjerdet bak bassenget, og skaper et enhetlig utseende, samtidig som det matcher de naturlige omgivelsene i hagen.

8. Arkitektoniske høydepunkter

Dette store hjemmet i overgangsstil har flere interessante arkitektoniske detaljer som kan gå tapt hvis kledd i ett enkelt materiale. I stedet får hver seksjon sjansen til å skinne, inkludert frontsøylene som er kledd i en finslipt stein som komplementerer den mørkegrå mursteinen som brukes andre steder.

9. Sokkelpaneler

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. Contemporary Planks

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 fra 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 lineær boligens arkitektur.

11. Utepeis

Når du bruker naturstein utendørs, kan noen ganger et mer rustikk utseende bidra til å knytte funksjonen til landskapet og den omkringliggende naturen. I dette tilfellet hjelper en Shadowstone-aksent over den mer moderne omgivelsen å knytte denne utendørspeisen sammen med naturrom ligger like bak.

12. Ren, hvit tekstur

Stucco er et populært materiale for mange interiører, men teksturen kan være for subtil for enkelte egenskaper. Denne boligen får et sårt tiltrengt løft fra en teksturd 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. Fet kontrast

For å ramme ut denne terrassen ble den ene siden av et tilstøtende skur kledd i en dyp midnattsskyggestein. Denne mørke fargen rammer inn terrassen og bidrar til å bringe oppmerksomhet til den. Det som virkelig gjør designet pop, er den lettere steinen som omgir gasspeisen, som tilfører både funksjon og visuell varme.

14. Tredimensjonal design

En av de beste tingene med steinkledning er dens evne til å installeres på nesten hvilken som helst overflate, både inne og ute. I dette tilfellet følger steinen deg rett under buegangen som fører til fronten av hjemmet, og dukker deretter opp igjen rundt døren. Denne tredimensjonale bruken av steinen har effekten av å trekke deg fremover rett inn i designet.

15. Teksturkontrast

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. Fremre aksent

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. Subtile aksenter

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. Legge til dybde

Svært mørk sidekledning har noen ganger effekten av å få et hjem til å se flatt ut eller to  dimensjonal. Ved å bruke et lettere, men likevel koordinerende, steinskjørt på nedre plan i hjemmet, gir det dybde til hele designet. De dype aksentfargene i steinen matcher perfekt det mørkere sidesporet, men den generelle fargen på steinen er fortsatt lys nok til å legge til kontrast og interesse.

19. Rik eleganse

Natursteinkledning har en dybde, rikdom og eleganse som ofte mangler fra andre utvendige materialer. Brukd 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. Landskapsfokus

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.
