Split-face, rough-textured natural stone, when used inside the home, has a reputation for contributing to a homespun or unpolished, casual look.

While it’s a great choice for rustic décor, stacked stone can do so much more! Natural stacked stone may be just what you need to transform a room makeover into something extraordinary, with upgraded modern home décor. 

Take another look at MSI’s stacked stone ledger panels, and see how well they fit into even the most refined, elegant aesthetic styles.

No need for a boring backsplash — natural ledger panels make the most of this little nook. If you’re not quite ready for a large, split-face stone wall, a small section like this is a great way to incorporate it into your home.

This bold accent wall becomes the room’s focal point without overwhelming the small space. California Gold Stacked Stone features natural slate in shades of brown and gray with hints of rust. Although it’s a colorful combination, the neutral shades are easy to coordinate with cabinetry and flooring.

Fireplace surrounds are traditional spots to use stacked stone. However, even if your fire feature is a contemporary off-center gas burner instead of a traditional hearth, there’s a stacked stone veneer panel that suits perfectly.

Golden Honey Pencil Stacked Stone features natural split-face quartzite in shades of gray and gold, in petite, thin strips that emphasize a sleek, linear look. Matching corner pieces finish off the look, easily conforming to pop-outs and insets.

Banish the bare wall — easy-to-install stacked-stone veneer panels can turn your walls into a work of art in no time flat. Charcoal Pencil Stacked Stone is a refined, monochrome assembly of split-face gray slate.

With no color variation, the texture takes center stage, but subtly enough that an entire wall, or maybe two, is not too much for the space. The linear, horizontal look of these pencil-thin stones is an ideal fit with modern décor, a timeless element that won’t go out of style.
