Stone Wall Decor: Adding Texture to the Home
Something about the fall season brings out the need for warm and cozy texture in the home. Pillows and throws are a simple solution, but what about the architectural appeal of a stone wall?
In my childhood home there was a large stone wall fireplace in the center of the room, running up to the peak of the vaulted wood ceiling. I never appreciated that room as much as I should have. This rustic stone fireplace brings back memories of that expansive living room.

If a stone wall feels too dungeon-like to you, simply choose a lighter shade of stone-work.

A stone wall can add beautiful impact when you open up the door and this is the initial view of the home.

I love older homes that show a bit of stone creeping out from the plastered walls.
A pretty dining space feels bright and expansive with large windows and light stones.

If an entire room cloaked in stone is too much for you, consider applying it to just one wall in the room.
Stones are a popular choice for outdoor spaces.
I love this bathroom – it’s so elegant with its pale stone walls, custom cabinetry, and a darker tile floor. Wood mirrors echo the trim of the wood window. Beautiful!

It’s probably best if I don’t have a bathroom like this country style place to bathe – I’d never come out!

This rustic bathroom has romantic appeal with a couple of niches filled with candles above the stand-alone bathtub.
Do you have any stone walls in your home? If not, would you ever consider adding this architectural element?

Love all those stone walls thank you for sharing Marie.
Sigh. Those are wonderful examples of stone walls. I think I have been in love with them since 6th grade when a friend had a family room addition and kept the stone wall. Now, if you looked in my sewing room ,you would see several torn out pages of magazines featuringrough stone walls and fireplaces. Now I have a few more ideas to drool over.
I would love to have a stone wall, they are so warm and wonderful. At my parents house they had a beautiful stone fireplace with sitting on each side,it was all just beautiful. They built an inside garden on one end.The Christmas memories are endless and wonderful.
Those pale, light stone walls REALLY spoke to me.
Those stone walls just ooze a connectedness to the earth. Beautiful.
All the rooms feel castle-like. I hope to eventually have an outdoor area with a stone fireplace. Great post. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
We are thinking about stone on our entry way floor. The tile is broken, and I don’t want wood here in the country.
