New Siding Trends in 2024

March 14, 2024

Whether you’re updating your home to get ready to sell, or you just want a refresh to your property, siding styles are important to consider. Since these materials are on the exterior of your home, you’ll want to make sure they look clean and new. Here’s a preview of new siding trends for 2024. 

Sustainable Materials

Each year, individuals want to do their part in helping the environment. Hence the need for more sustainable materials. Simultaneously, these kinds of materials can also help stand the test of time, through wear and tear, and various weather conditions. Some examples of eco-friendly siding ideas include accoya wood (durable and emits fewer carbon emissions), stone (natural material), and drought-resistant plants (trees like maple and pine take in less water). 

These different materials can be used for garage doors, windows, or porches.

Symmetric Curb Appeal 

The first thing a potential buyer or neighbors in your area will notice is your curb appeal. To bring positive attention to your home, this year’s style is focused on symmetry. This means having your front door in between two windows to help center your home view. Make something your focal point, whether it’s your front door, windows, or garage door. 

Include horizontal design options that will add visual depth to your home. You want to make sure your siding is as even as possible because any uneven siding boards will cause distractions for you and people who visit the outside of your home. An uneven home is not cause for concern though, just a bit of an update. 

Earth Tones

A natural, earthy kind of look is a big theme this year for homeowners. When you keep your exterior colors more at a neutral tone, more light can elevate the property. Some of Benjamin Moore’s most popular paint colors include White Dove, Silver Lake Gray, and Cushing Green. These colors also fit into the idea of being sustainable and eco-friendly, promising that your home’s exterior will be friendly and forgiving. 

Low Maintenance

A trend that never goes out of style is having siding that is low maintenance. This means that you won’t have to get it repaired or repainted after each upcoming season. Some examples of low-maintenance kinds of siding include fiber cement, wood siding, stucco, modified wood, metal, and stone. You’ll also find that many examples of siding are just as eco-friendly as they are low-maintenance. What a concept!

Accents

Moreover, another way to have your siding stand out is by adding accents to it. This can be through mixing and matching siding types, adding accent skirting, installing brackets, contrasting shutters, and choosing an accented corner trim. 

If you want to shake up the siding world, try using black accent colors. It will surely bring more attention to your home while also seamlessly blending with your other exterior colors. 

There are several ways to improve and update your home so that it is fitting for the up-and-coming styles. Which siding trend will you decide to add to your home today?
