The following are a few reasons why a stone veneer will be perfect for your craftsman style home design:
One of the things about craftsman style homes is that they often use natural materials, such as wood, in their construction. Fine wood details are a staple in craftsman homes. As another natural material, stone is a great compliment to wood. The various shades of gray that a stone veneer would provide would also help provide a great visual balance to the browns of wood.

In addition to complimenting the other materials found in craftsman style homes, stone also helps to provide a little bit of unique diversity in the overall look of the style.
