Few things can give a home a high-end look like stone. You can use it to make interiors more interesting or to elevate your home’s exterior and boost curb appeal.
But while real stone comes with a hefty price tag and complicated installation, faux stone from Barron Designs offers the same visual impact with far greater simplicity. Our faux stone wall panels and stone veneer siding are lightweight, durable, and easy to install — no professional help needed.
If you’re trying to decide between faux stone versus real stone, we recommend using faux stone. It offers the same upscale aesthetic with far fewer installation hassles and at a much lower cost.
Explore the ideas below for beautiful, budget-friendly faux stone designs you can install yourself.
