Installing new siding on your home provides a complete exterior facelift. It’s an opportunity to update and refresh the look of your home, all while making it look decades younger.
In addition to changing house colors (if you choose), this is also a great time to introduce different types of siding, for a more dynamic and textured look. Mixed media siding can be done in many ways in order to achieve the look you are wanting.
Whether your goal is modern, traditional, contemporary, or even more common—a mixture of a few styles, mixed media siding installation might be the right choice for you.
Here, we will explore a few of the favorite types of accent siding that pair wonderfully with the classic Plank siding:
-
Shingles: Shingles offers a clean and traditional look to your home. Whether they are pre-painted Hardie ColorPlus or cedar, this is a very timeless look. Shingles can be installed on the entire house, or in gables or small areas in order to add accent and layers to the home.
-
Board & Batten: A very clean look—board and batten is a longtime favorite through the years. The battens can be spaced closer together or farther apart, which is based on preference. This style gives a modern look from the base panels, but texture is added by the vertical panels; a great happy-medium for modern-traditionalists!
-
Panels: The ultimate modern dream—panels offer a minimalist accent with big statement. The panels are secured by a specific trim that is thin to compliment the panel’s “look.” Panels are great for large walls since the panels are 8-10 feet long.
-
Cedar, stone, stucco—the options are limitless! Cedar is a beautiful accent on porch ceilings, as well as porch walls. Stone is usually preferred on the entry walls, even if it is just a waist-high installation by the garage, it is a beautiful look. Stucco is also something you might see as an accent on a home.
