When you want to capture stone's timeless, organic beauty without the weight and expense, stone veneer is an ideal solution for indoor and outdoor living spaces. With an incredibly realistic, textured look that mimics natural stone, veneer offers a simple way to incorporate this earthy, rustic material into your home's design.

Cozy Living Room Fireplaces

There's nothing quite as welcoming and inviting as a fireplace surrounded by rich, warm stone. Stone veneer gives you the opportunity to create a stunning stone fireplace accent wall as a focal point in your living room. Choose a full floor-to-ceiling stone design or a smaller firebox surround for a charming rustic touch.

Eye-Catching Outdoor Living

Stone veneer is ideal for extending your indoor design aesthetic to outdoor spaces like kitchens, fireplaces, fire pits and living areas. Create a beautiful outdoor kitchen featuring a stone veneer oven, bar front or countertops. Or use it to craft a stunning stone fireplace or fire pit as a gathering area for your patio or backyard living room.

Showstopping Interior Accents

Don't overlook the impact stone veneer can make as an interior accent piece! Use it to design a stunning stone accent wall as a focal point in your living room or foyer. Create built-in shelving and cabinets with a stone veneer finish. Surround indoor archways with stone for Old World elegance. Veneer delivers design flexibility to incorporate that rustic, organic stone look anywhere.

Durable, Stylish Kitchen Backsplashes

A stone veneer backsplash adds a stunning accent to the kitchen, seamlessly blending with the natural landscape and ideal for both mountain-style and modern farmhouse homes. Its timeless and organic appearance enhances various kitchen styles, from rustic to Old World, and when paired with natural wood cabinets, it adds warmth to the space.

However, it's important to note that stone veneer is not low maintenance as a backsplash. Made from concrete, stone veneer is very porous. It can absorb grease and water, leading to discoloration over time and making cleaning challenging, particularly in high-splatter areas like behind a cooktop. Additionally, its rough-face texture may further complicate cleaning efforts. Therefore, as the manufacturer recommends, regular resealing is essential to preserve its beauty and functionality in the long run.

Easy, Affordable Installation

One of the biggest perks of stone veneer is its easy installation and lighter weight compared to full-depth stone. The panels are designed for effortless application over drywall, brick or any standard surface both inside and outside the home. This makes installing that covetable natural stone aesthetic more accessible and affordable.

At the HomeSource Design Center showroom, we offer a wide range of stone veneer styles, colors and textures to fit any design aesthetic—from modern linear designs and stacked stone patterns to rustic, timeworn varieties with a reclaimed look.
