Siding, like any other exterior component, constantly evolves in terms of material, longevity, price, style, and more. If you’re planning an upcoming siding replacement project, you may wonder what the latest trends are, which can help shape your decisions. As we barrel toward 2025, it’s time to take a look at the trends that will dominate the next year in terms of exterior siding. 

 

Colors

While there will always be an interest in classic colors such as white and gray, the National Association of Realtors says more and homeowners will incorporate pops of color to spice up their curb appeal in the coming year. The most popular colors that will dominate the landscape in 2025 include:

  • White
  • Navy blue
  • Gray
  • Black
  • Earthy green
  • Light blue
  • Brown
  • Beige
  • Red 
  • Yellow

Even for homes that are predominantly a muted color like white and beige, homeowners are deciding to add pops of colors to their front doors and trim. Some popular front door colors for the new year include teal, golden yellow, deep purple, matte black, terracotta, copper, and silver. 

 

Mixed Textures, More Dimension

Mix and match exteriors are becoming more popular. As more homeowners try to capture the warmth of cedar, you’ll see homes with shakes, shingles, and their vinyl counterparts. In addition, stone veneers will continue to evolve to complement various styles, from farmhouse to modern. Expect to see more combinations of vinyl siding options, such as traditional smooth siding for a majority of the home offset by vinyl shakes or scallops.  

Other combos to be on the lookout for include wood and brick, fiber cement and metal, and stone veneer and stucco. 

It’s easier than ever to add texture with contrasting materials. For instance, try gray vinyl siding for most of the house, complemented by a light-colored stone veneer on focal points such as the entryway. Another way to add visual interest is to switch the direction of the slats. For example, install horizontal vinyl siding on broad portions of your house, but vertical slats for dormers or gables. 

Sustainable Siding

Homeowners value the environment today much more than they did even 10 years ago. That’s why you’ll see an increased focus on the use of eco-friendly materials such as recycled steel and composite siding. Traditional options such as wood, vinyl and fiber cement siding are still the most common, but homeowners are favoring a mix of colors and textures to achieve unique exterior designs.

Options that offer sustainability, longevity, and energy efficiency, without sacrificing beauty, will be on the uptick next year.

 

Smart Siding

The future of siding could arrive sooner than we think. Recent innovations are making it possible to embed siding materials with technology that can actually regulate home temperatures and improve energy efficiency. 

For now, though, vinyl siding and fiber cement siding will continue to be frontrunners for 2025 and beyond.
