Stacked Stone Inside the Home
Want to add some natural warmth, texture and drama to your home? Try stacked stone. It is a unique three-dimensional veneer composed of cut stone pieces. These come attached to a backing and are installed in modules like tile. You can find these panels in most garden supply stores and tile showrooms, with prices ranging from $10-40 per square foot. No grout is needed, so it's easy to install.
Stacked stone is often used in landscaping, around pools and other water features, and on the front of buildings. I am delighted to see more of this wonderful material inside residences. Take a look:

A California home brings nature inside with wonderfully textured stone and a floating wood console. How lovely to be greeted by this when you come in the door.

The same stone in another part of the house. Perhaps this is the other side of the entry wall? Gold tones add warmth even without a fire.

Like any other material or finish, select a color and texture that will work with the rest of your furnishings. |

Here is a feature wall in a sleek modern bath with all the amenities.
Tip: Use stacked stone strategically and in moderation. Too much will overwhelm a room and make it feel heavy.

The mixture of smooth and textured tiles, along with the soft hues of gray-green create a serene, spa like feeling in this bath. Extending the stone to the tub face adds even more depth.
