Mixed-material exteriors are one of the biggest siding trends right now, combining materials like fiber cement, stone veneer, and wood-look accents to create visual interest instead of covering a home in a single material.
Other current trends include:
- Warm, earthy color palettes, including deep greens, warm browns, and soft taupes
- Matte finishes over glossy ones for a more natural, modern appearance
- Vertical siding accents, especially on gables or entryways, paired with horizontal siding elsewhere
- Two-tone exteriors, pairing a lighter primary color with a darker accent or trim
- Larger panel siding with fewer visible seams for a cleaner, more streamlined look
Homeowners are also leaning toward durable, low-maintenance materials that still offer a high-end appearance, which has kept fiber cement and quality vinyl popular even as design trends shift.
For homeowners planning an update, blending one or two of these trends, like a warm neutral color with a stone or wood-look accent, tends to create a modern, updated look without needing a full material overhaul.
