We believe that color has the power to transform the look of any project, and not to mention its influence on a person’s mood. We have seen, in the past year, a shift towards soothing neutrals as well as uplifting shades perhaps driven by the push for a new beginning after the year we have all had.
The average lifespan of most siding materials is about 20 to 30 years. Any siding older than this will be particularly vulnerable to water leakage during periods of heavy rainfall or snowmelt. If you’re unsure about the weatherproofing capabilities of your siding, we highly recommend bringing in a professional to take a look at it.
Replacing or upgrading your siding also gives you a great opportunity to get in on the latest design trends – if your siding is old enough to need replacing, it’s probably out of style by now.
Here are some of the top siding colors we predict will be the most sought-after in 2022:
White
A timeless classic, this color is at the very top of the list for 2022. We saw a huge spike in popularity in 2021 and it’s definitely not slowing down. This shade will not only make your exterior look larger, it also offers numerous design possibilities. White will match any roof or window color, allowing for pops of color with your front door or exterior décor (shutters, planters…). Let’s not forget white is also the perfect shade for the extremely popular modern farmhouse style.
Yellow
Since the start of 2021, we saw an increase in the popularity of this cheery color; people wanted to brighten up their exterior. Yellow shades will instantaneously revitalize and refresh any exterior project. They also add that much coveted curb appeal. Ranging from soft creamy tones (Almond) to a burst of vivid color (Golden Honey), yellows can be versatile shade. You can combine yellow with white trims for a crisp look or if you are looking for a contemporary color pairing try gray. Whichever shade you choose, we know it will be eye catching.
Green
Specifically this natural, trending color at the top of the list: Sage. This green hue is softened by gray undertones adding muted notes that complement nature’s surroundings. Because Sage is a neutral color, it provides a perfect backdrop for a darker exterior door, windows and shutters. Its subtlety creates a calm welcoming exterior yet prominent enough to set you apart from the rest.
Gray
Gray tones are once again featured in our trending colors for 2022. Ranging in tonality and undertones, gray shades offer versatility and style. Depending on how dark you go (think Manor), gray can make quite a statement or meld into a quiet neutral (Stonecrest). These colors are also well suited to highlight a variety of architectural styles including shingle style and traditional board & batten. Whichever shade you choose, grays can complement a variety of color palettes.
Brown
Evoking that calmness that everyone is looking for, brown shades are poised to be in high demand this coming year. Brown, from light (Tan) to the rich dark (Cabot Brown) are perfect color choices for traditional architectural styles. These colors also work well with natural materials such as wood or stone by highlighting their undertones; a perfect way to refresh the exterior of any home.
Blue
Blue shades have been featured in our color trends for the past few years, so it should come as no surprise that it’s present once again. From calming soothing hues to bold vibrant shades, blues are extremely versatile. Our Urban Blue is a color that combines timeless elegance and eye-catching cur appeal. The rich tonality of this color is perfectly suited to complement materials such as stone or stucco. Discover its potential to elevate the look of any exterior.
