When it comes to buying or selling a home, curb appeal makes the difference. If you're looking for ideas to refresh the outside of your home, we pulled together five real Horizon Stone installs, from full exteriors to smaller accent details, to show you what's possible with manufactured stone veneer, crafted right here in our Tennessee manufacturing facility.

Hermitage, Handcrafted: A Craftsman-Style Two-Story Home

This craftsman-style two-story home pairs Hermitage in our Handcrafted collection with a covered front porch and dark gable roof. The stone wraps the lower level and porch base, grounding the lighter siding above it for a classic new-construction look.

Canyon Ridge, 19th Century: A Craftsman New Build

This craftsman new build uses Canyon Ridge in the 19th Century collection along the porch base and garage surround. The warmer, varied stone tones stand out against the home's white siding and add contrast at the entry.

Hermitage, 19th Century: A Modern Farmhouse by Cedar and Oak Homes

This modern farmhouse, built by Cedar and Oak Homes, uses Hermitage in the 19th Century texture across both gable ends. The black window frames and standing seam metal roof give the stone a cleaner, more contemporary feel than the same color in a traditional application.

Quick Tip

Same color, different look. Hermitage shows up in both our Handcrafted and 19th Century collections, but the stone profile changes how it reads on a home. If you can't decide, order samples of both side by side before you commit.

Stone doesn't have to cover a whole exterior to make an impact. Here are two smaller applications worth considering.

Harbor Bluff, Handcrafted: Garage Door Accent

Harbor Bluff in our Handcrafted collection covers the wall above this garage, with a stacked stone arch detail tying the doors together. It's a straightforward way to bring texture to a part of the exterior that often gets overlooked.

Sedona, 19th Century: Window Accent

Sedona in the 19th Century collection wraps this gable end and frames a single window with stone instead of trim. The lighter tone keeps the look airy while still adding texture against the dark roofline.
