How to choose Brick or Stone for your home

Choosing brick or stone for any space in your home should be fun, but can be stressful. Most walkways, fireplaces, walls and backyards today are built with a combination of brick and stone, and it’s beautiful. But choosing the combination that fits your style and looks good is sometimes a difficult process.  

At South Atlantic Masonry and Concrete Contractor located in Atlanta and Florida, we give you a few tips that will help ensure that your home looks amazing with brick or stone:

1. Don’t try to find a combination that matches:

Choose a combination with contrast, but keep one of the choices pale grey, white or cream, like this house below.

2. Match the brick to the colour found in the stone:

If you find a stone that you love, take an undertone of one of the colors in the stone and choose a brick color. Try to avoid using two solid colors or two patterns.

3. Choose the correct type of stone that coordinates with the style of your home:

If you have a more traditional home, you don’t want to choose a stone that looks extremely modern. Be sure that your stone fits your home.

4. Keep your colour combination classic and simple:

When in doubt, less is more. If you have chosen a solid stone, and a patterned brick, there is no need to introduce a third color. Your look will be clean and beautiful and not too busy.
