1. Subtle Details
You don’t have to go all-in with a dramatic look to enjoy the visual appeal of the mixed material exterior design. If your home already has stone or brick details, consider using two colors within a shade of each other for your primary siding and brick or stone feature. This gives your home the texture of the mixed material design without overwhelming the other architectural design features of your home.
2. Board and Batten
Board and batten details are trending in a big way right now. Traditionally used for American homes, board and batten evokes charm with its almost rustic visual appeal. Over the past few years as the modern farmhouse has enjoyed a rise in popularity, board and batten details have often been contrasted with traditional vinyl siding to create texture and contrast.
3. Multi-Tone Siding
Don’t be limited by conventional thinking when it comes to siding color. Instead of mixing siding materials, try mixing siding colors to create a more contemporary look. The key to this look is to choose siding colors that are close enough in color but distinctive enough to be visually different.
4. Contrasting Elements
For a contrasting look that packs a punch when it comes to curb appeal, add simple contrasting elements like windows and doors. One of the hottest design trends right now is to install black-framed windows. This looks especially fantastic against a while or lighter-toned siding shade. Another popular design look is to add a contrasting front entry door, especially in a standout shade like orange, red, or blue.
