除了种类繁多的建筑石材饰面和天然石材外,还有许多类型的室外石材可用于提升任何风格的家居。从细微的点缀到作为亮点的石材包层,我们的设计师知道如何使用石材来提升设计。以下是我们最喜欢的一些石材包层创意。

If you’re on the hunt for more affordable types of exterior house stone,Eldorado Stoneis a surefire contender. Designed to mimic natural stone, this architectural stone veneer embraces natural textures and colors. In the design above, we weaved in stone cladding beneath the covered patio and entryway, along the length of the home’s base, and on the built-in planter in the front yard.

There are many different types of exterior house stone. The warm, tight-cut stone veneer used above is ideal for amodern rusticaesthetic. Its neutral color blends well with the greige siding, which is rendered inSherwin Williams’ Jogging Path.
如果您的外墙已经铺有石材,并且希望通过保留石材来提升外观吸引力,我们的设计师很乐意让您现有的石材饰面焕然一新。上图中,我们保留了外墙现有的石材饰面,但用木材包裹了细柱(及其石材底座),以增加庄重感。橄榄绿色壁板与本设计中的天然材料相结合,营造出一种我们喜爱的美丽朴实色调。

人造石是最受欢迎的外墙石材之一。对于此设计,我们添加了各种纹理,与深灰色壁板形成对比。虽然壁板、铜质排水沟、铁质阳台栏杆、木质装饰和石材铺路砖展示了光滑的纹理,但我们在柱子和上层使用的人造石采用了更粗糙的材料,增加了立体感。

The stacked Eldorado Stone used on this exterior has gorgeous layers of color and texture. To enhance the palette, we used the colors in the stone as inspiration for the paint choices on the siding. For the lap siding, we went withSherwin Williams’ Gauntlet Gray, and we usedBenjamin Moore’s White Doveon the vertical siding and eaves.

Some types of exterior house stone are more rigid than others, andcultured ledgestoneis one of the more rugged options. This home’s dark trim adds visual layers to the exterior, and the cultured stone provides the perfect complement.

这栋白砖房屋给人一种舒适、温馨的感觉。精致的木质装饰、铜质排水沟、景观设计和石质人行道铺装都为这块干净的砖墙增添了温暖和质感。用小屋风格的石材饰面覆盖烟囱,增强了自然气息,使设计更加引人注目。

Black-and-white is a timeless color combination. Our designers tapped into the classic palette with the off-white stucco and black wood paneling on this home’s exterior. To add a bridge between the textures and colors, we added a light gray stoneretaining wall.

There are a variety of types of exterior house stone that tap into earth tones, grays, and blues — but stone cladding isn’t limited to those shades. For this design, we used a cream-colored stone to pair with the white stucco, rendered inSherwin Williams’ Alabaster.

Wood, natural stone, and brown tones join forces to create the decidedly rustic exterior design above. Our designers used stone throughout the home’s sprawling layout, juxtaposing it with the texture of the wood.

With beige siding and black shutters, this home taps a traditional style. The cobblestone cladding on the right hand side adds a burst of color and texture to the design. Additionally, our designers’ recommendation for a bold door color draws on the colors of the stone.

The natural stoneskirtingon this house acts as a backdrop to the beautiful staggered stone landscaping. To accentuate these warm tones even further, we suggested wood trim and accents as well as copper gutters. The neutral shades on the stucco —Sherwin Williams’ Black FoxandBenjamin Moore’s Classic Gray— complete the earthy façade.

Limestone veneeris one of our favorite types of exterior house stone. In this design, the neutral-colored limestone, combined with the off-white stucco and wood accents makes for an exterior that’s both warm and modern.

Whether you want a rough and rigid staggered stone or something smooth and sleek, our designers know all the best ways to use stone — or to work with your existing stone! — to elevate curb appeal.
