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.

1. Gates le Archways

Hangata maikutlo a pele ke a bohlokoa ka ho fetisisa. Bakeng sa thepa e nang le heke kapa archway ho kena ka sete pele ho tloha ntlong e kholo, ntlha ena ea ho kena e tlameha ho etsa maikutlo pele moeti a fihla lapeng la hau.

Ka ho sebelisa Estate Stone ho hatisa setene, e bebofatsa le ho pshatla mohlala, e lumella lintlha tseo hore li khanye.

3. Sebaka sa Letamo

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. Lerako la Kantle la Accent

Batho ba bangata ba se ba fumane melemo ea ho sebelisa lerako la molumo ka tlung ho tiisa marako a bona le moralo oa bona. Lehae lena le sebelisa lebota la bokantle ba molumo ho bapisa mahlakore a phanele le ho eketsa thahasello moahong oa sejoale-joale. Lerako le lutse ka lehlakoreng la 90-degree ho karolo e 'ngoe ea mahlakoreng, e lebisang tlhokomelo tseleng ea ho kena le ea mohaho ka nako e le 'ngoe.

5. Sebaka sa Mollo sa ka Hare/Ka ntle

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. Sebaka sa ho jela sa ka ntle

Haeba u na le sebaka sa ho jela se ka ntle ho ntlo ea hau, se khetholle sebakeng se seng ka ho theha lerako le letle la molumo ho le foreimi. Sebaka sena se na le lerako le le leng le koahetsoeng ka lejoe le khabisitsoeng, le thusang ho tlisa tlhokomelo sebakeng sa ho jela, ho se arola ho tloha ka hare le libakeng tse ling tsa naha.

Tšobotsi ena ea mehleng ea kajeno ha e sebelise feela li-filler tsa liphaephe, tse lumellanang le molumo oa terata ka mor'a eona, empa hape le lejoe le khabisitsoeng la majoe. Li-cladding li etsisa liphanele tsa terata ea sejoale-joale ka mor'a letamo, li etsa ponahalo e kopaneng, ha li ntse li ts'oana le tikoloho ea tlhaho ea jarete.

8. Lintlha-khōlō tsa Mehaho

Lehae lena le leholo, la setaele sa nakoana le na le lintlha tse 'maloa tse khahlang tsa meralo tse ka lahlehang haeba e apereng ntho e le nngwe. Ho e-na le hoo, karolo e ’ngoe le e ’ngoe e fuoa monyetla oa ho khanya, ho kopanyelletsa le litšiea tse ka pele tse apesitsoeng ka lejoe le thata le tlatsanang le setene se boputsoa bo lefifi se sebelisoang libakeng tse ling.

9. Liphanele tsa 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. Mapolanka a Mehleng ea Kajeno

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 ho tloha 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 linear meaho ya lehae.

11. Kantle Leifo

Ha u sebelisa lejoe la tlhaho ka ntle, ka linako tse ling ponahalo ea rustic e ka thusa ho kopanya sebopeho ho naha le tlhaho e potolohileng. Tabeng ena, lentsoe la Shadowstone ka holim'a tikoloho ea sejoale-joale le thusa ho hokela sebaka sena sa mollo se kantle le sebaka sa tlhaho e lutseng ka moraonyana.

12. Sebopeho se Hloekileng, se Sesoeu

Stucco ke thepa e tsebahalang bakeng sa bokantle ba matlo a mangata, empa sebopeho sa eona se ka ba se poteletseng haholo bakeng sa thepa e itseng. Ntlo ena e fumana phahamiso e hlokahalang haholo ho tloha sebopehod 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. Phapang e Bold

Ho theha patio ena, lehlakore le leng la lephephe le kopaneng le ne le apesitsoe ka har'a lejoe le tebileng la Midnight Shadowstone. 'Mala ona o lefifi o etsa foreimi ea patio mme e thusa ho tlisa tlhokomelo ho eona. Ntho e hlileng e etsang hore moralo o pop, leha ho le joalo, ke lejoe le bobebe le pota-potileng leifo la khase, le eketsang ts'ebetso le mofuthu o bonahalang.

14. Moralo oa Likarolo tse tharo

E 'ngoe ea lintho tse molemo ka ho fetisisa mabapi le ho roala majoe ke bokhoni ba eona ba ho kenngoa hoo e batlang e le holim'a metsi leha e le afe, ka hare le kantle. Tabeng ena, lejoe le u latela hantle ka tlas'a tsela e lebisang ka pele ho ntlo, ebe le hlaha hape le pota-potile lemati. Tšebeliso ena ea mahlakore a mararo ea lejoe e na le phello ea ho u hulela pele ho ea ka moralo.

15. Phapang ea Sebopeho

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. Phatlalatso e ka Pele

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. Lipuo tse poteletseng

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. Ho Eketsa Botebo

Lefifi haholo ka linako tse ling le na le phello ea ho etsa hore ntlo e shebahale e bataletse kapa tse pedi  tekanyoal. Ka ho sebelisa lesela le bobebe, empa le ntse le hokahanya, seaparo sa lejoe sebakeng se ka tlase sa ntlo, se eketsa botebo ho moralo oohle. Mebala e tebileng ea molumo ka har'a lejoe e lumellana hantle le lehlakoreng le lefifi, empa 'mala oa lejoe ka kakaretso o ntse o le bobebe ho lekana ho eketsa phapang le thahasello.

19. Rich Elegance

Ho roala majoe a tlhaho ho na le botebo, borui, le bokhabane boo hangata bo haellang ho tsoa ho lisebelisoa tse ling tsa ka ntle. Sebelisad 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. Landscape Focal Point

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.
