One of the reasons homeowners replace their siding is to make their home look more modern and up to date. With all the new options, choosing the right siding design can feel overwhelming. You want your home to look great but still fit in to the neighborhood. There are basically three options you can choose from:
- One color of the same style siding on your whole home.
- Two different siding styles in one color.
- Two different colors in the same style.
- Two different colors and two different siding styles.
Which Option is Right for You?
The first place to start is with your homeowner’s association if you have one. Find out if there are any restrictions for color and style. Once you have that information, you can begin looking at what you want for your siding design. Although it’s a matter of personal preference, few homeowners today choose only one color and one style siding.
Look at the Front of Your Home
If you were to choose two different colors or siding styles, where would you put the accent? Most homeowners choose the eaves, the entire second story, or an area of the home they want to stand out like a bay or bow window.
Do You Have a Color Preference?
If you know you’re choosing two different colors, you’re going to decide if you want contrasting colors (like a beige primary color and dark green accent color) or if you want a two-toned look where you choose two different shades of the same color. Once you have a few ideas of what you want for color, start looking at your siding style options in those colors.
Style Options
Most homes in Manassas and the rest of northern Virginia have just vertical clapboard siding. It’s boring and dated. If you want to keep a vertical siding style for your primary siding, consider something bold and different for your accent style like shingle, scalloped or even horizontal siding. Talk to your siding company about what is available in the colors you prefer.
