HardiePlank lap siding and HardieShingle siding in Monterey Taupe were used on most of the home’s exterior but a darker color in the same family of browns ( Chestnut Brown) was used for the HardiePanel® vertical siding and HardieTrim® batten boards in the triangular peaks. But using two different shades (I’d stick with two and not go to three or more!) of siding that are in the same color family can be really beautiful as you can see with this stunning mountain home: There are plenty of houses out there that have two or three different colors of siding but to be honest, when they’re from totally different color families, that look just isn’t for me. Use Two Different Shades of Siding in the Same Color Family The triangular trim at the exterior peaks is a beautiful detail too! The combination of two different siding styles and textures adds so much more visual interest than if a single profile was used throughout. But what I really love is the added twist of using two different profiles – HardiePlank® lap siding on the first story and HardieShingle® siding on the second story. This gray home gives me all the good feels – I love both the design and the classic color combo of gray ( James Hardie’s Light Mist) and white. So with that, I’m going to jump into sharing six exterior home design and color ideas to get your wheels turning for your next (if you’re so lucky!) new build or exterior home remodel: Use a Single Color of Siding But Mix it Up With Different Profiles It’s been around for quite a while (my parents used it on a home they built over 20 years ago) and is a product I would absolutely consider using on a future new home build or if my house ever needed residing. And since I care just as much about how the exterior of a home looks as I do about product durability, I love that it comes in a ton of gorgeous, long-lasting color options enhanced with their ColorPlus® Technology that bakes the paint onto the siding, keeping your house looking great year after year without excessive maintenance. I’d bet that most of you have heard about James Hardie® fiber cement products before, but if not, they’re the #1 brand of siding in North America with a wide variety of styles (planks, shingled siding, trim, & more) all engineered to withstand damage from moisture and rot as well as pests (the woodpeckers currently reeking havoc on my wood siding wouldn’t stand a chance with this stuff). Today I’m partnering with James Hardie to share my favorite exterior home design and color ideas along with an online tool that can take some of those ideas in your head and show you how they’d look on your home. As you all know, my style is somewhat traditional but I also like to bring in some unexpected, updated twists. I’m not sure that I’ll ever be lucky enough to build my own home but if someday I am, I’ve got tons of exterior home design and color ideas running around in my head from those weekend drives. I don’t know about you guys but I’ve got a serious love for weekend house stalking! Not some weird peeking-in-the-windows kind of house stalking – I’m talking about driving around in pretty areas of town and ogling gorgeous home exteriors.
