Stacked stone is a simple way for homeowners to amp up their interior design.

It’s easy to install, and with the new self-adhesive option, this instant upgrade can be yours with no mess and no fuss. With that in mind, let’s highlight some of the best ideas for featuring modern stacked stone in your design.
