Stone elements can do so much for the interior and exterior of your home, but it can be difficult to choose when there are so many options. European Ledge® makes a wonderful choice for just about any design thanks to its balanced profile with crisp lines and ample surface texture. The new Sea Cliff™ color blend is also extremely adaptable with a subtle mix of light hues, so give it a try if you need to add some interest to your space!

Architects have favorites, too! If you want to see house plans that appeal to the professionals themselves, explore our Designer's Choice Collection. This selection is diverse owing to different tastes and what people look for in a home, but you're sure to find something that resonates. House Plan 8794, for example, is a wonderful split-bedroom design with an eat-in kitchen, a spacious living room, and just a bonus upstairs. At 1,834 square feet, it's perfect for so many of today's families!
