Spice Up Your Home with Stone

Stone is one of the most versatile building materials out there — it looks just as elegant inside a home as it does on the outside.But with so many varieties and applications, how do you know where to start? These ideas may be just the inspiration you need to start your stone renovation.

Exterior Possibilities

Adding stone to the front of your home gives it a classy look that can make it stand out from the other homes on your block. From classic bricks to sleek granite, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
 
Stone can stand on its own, or be used as a compliment or accent to siding or paneling. Once you’ve chosen your material and your design, work with a professional installer to ensure that it is applied correctly. You might think you’re a weekend warrior, but there’s nothing worse than losing money if the stone is damaged during installation, so leave this one to the professionals.

A Fireplace For All Seasons

Whether inside on a cold winter’s night or outside on an autumn evening, it’s hard to beat a cozy fireplace. Stone’s versatility allows fireplaces to be constructed inside or outside depending on your preference and the climate where you live. Either way, you’ll have a timeless area for you and your family to enjoy.
 
Similarly, stone can be used to create an outdoor fire pit that’s perfect for making S’mores and sharing stories around the fire. Unlike pre-made metal fire pits, stone designs are much more flexible and can be shaped and sized to meet your specific needs.

Cool Feet

One of the reasons stone works so well in a fireplace is its naturally cool exterior. This feature also makes it ideal for outdoor patios and indoor spaces that tend to get a lot of sun and heat.
 
Make a path out of stone to keep your feet cool while walking around the pool or even to and from the mailbox. It’s also a great option for sunrooms, kitchens, and other places that are on the warmer side. Your pets will appreciate it too when their paws stay cool year-round!
