An Update on Current Siding Trends

Whether in regard to fashion, interior decorating, home design, or colors, people naturally want to be a part of the most current styles and trends. It’s no different when it comes to home exteriors! Whether giving their home a facelift or a complete exterior remodel, most homeowners want their home to reflect the most popular exterior trends.

Even if you’re not currently planning on replacing your siding or other exterior material, it’s always good to be in the know. Here are a few of the siding trends and styles that are currently in demand in home exterior remodeling.

Striking Contrasts

In the past, home exteriors tended to be on the neutral side – with greys, tans, and pale browns dominating the market. Today homeowners are making a statement with bold colors. Dark-colored exterior siding is being paired with lighter-colored trim and siding, creating a pleasing contrast that draws the eye and gives the home a modern look and feel.

Combining Textures

In addition to creating contrast with color, another trend that is popular is using multiple textures to create visual interest on a home’s exterior. Vertical patterns, such as LP® SmartSide® Vertical Siding, are in demand to create the popular board-and-batten look. In the end, whether a homeowner chooses to combine different textures of siding or pair siding with manufactured brick or stone, the merging of these elements results in a home with plenty of curb appeal that will stand out from its neighbors.

Eye-Catching Accessories

Gone are the days when trim tended to blend in with the rest of the siding. Now, trim often stands out against the house, and is used to play up certain architectural features. Other accessories are used to give the home a personal touch, such as a bright-colored entry door that adds a pop of color, shutters used to dress up exterior windows, or a custom-designed garage door to add character.
