As we step into 2025, design trends are evolving with a stronger focus on texture and natural elements. In our world of stone and brick veneer, we see that certain textures are rising to the forefront, helping shape how homeowners and professionals envision their interior and exterior projects. Whether you’re updating a home’s façade or curating an inviting interior, these four popular stone textures offer the perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality.
Chalk Dust TundraBrick®
Brick by Brick: A Timeless Classic
Brick continues to prove its staying power in both traditional and contemporary spaces. For modern projects, brick veneer like TundraBrick is particularly popular for those looking to capture a sense of character and authenticity. Designers are embracing lighter hues like Chalk Dust to blend effortlessly into minimalist and Scandinavian-inspired interiors, or darker hues like Ironside to bring a bold yet sophisticated anchor to a room.
Outside, brick veneer is being used to elevate the walls on gardens, outdoor kitchens, and patios. Its timeless appeal complements various architectural styles, and playing with grout shades will highlight the brick’s texture in unique ways.
Nantucket Stacked Stone
Layered Luxury and Efficiency
Stacked Stone remains a favorite for those who desire a handcrafted product without the hassle of labor-intensive installation. Its intricate detailing has the precision of hand-laid dry-stack stone, while its convenient panel system makes it an ideal solution for quick design projects.
The trending colors for 2025 include layered neutrals that reflect what’s found in nature, such as warm browns and rich ebony tones, which also allow the stone’s refined textures to stand out. With colors from the Stacked Stone profile like Nantucket and Black River, focal points throughout a home can maintain a trend-forward, yet timeless practicality.
Grand Banks™ Limestone
Limestone Statements: Traditional Formality Meets Versatility
For those looking to make a bold statement, RoughCut offers the rugged appearance of limestone, complete with raw, organic textures like embedded fossilized artifacts. This distinctive look is perfect for both traditional spaces and those with a more contemporary aesthetic, due to its clean lines that balance the rough texture. Its versatility is ideal for feature walls, cozy fireplaces, or expansive outdoor facades.
Alternatively, the Limestone profile, while modeled after the same popular stone type, brings a more tailored, hand-dressed look. This chiseled, roughhewn stone shape is perfect for those looking for a classic rectangular ashlar, with trending color palettes that strike a balance between traditional and modern design, such as Behr’s 2025 color of the year.
Montecito® Cliffstone®
Cliffstone: Modern Refinement, Textural Depth
With trends like “desert modern,” “wabi-sabi” and “organic minimalism,” dominating the design space, a continued focus on nature-inspired interiors makes way for products like Cliffstone. Sitting at the intersection of contemporary design and natural aesthetics, this profile is formed with refined, flat-planed faces and diverse textural details. This stone texture not only adds depth to modern interiors, but also enhances the home’s connection to nature by seamlessly integrating into streamlined spaces.
