As 2018 draws to a close, homeowners and builders begin anticipating what’s new and trendy for exterior siding colours in the year ahead. Although predictable greys and neutrals continue to be a common choice of exterior siding, paired with white trim, there are several new and exciting visions on the horizon for 2019.

A brisk surf around the web delivers a clear forecast for richer, darker shades saturating home exteriors and the effect is exciting. Think exotic cinnamons, gunmetal chromes, and opulent turquoises. Likewise, rich chocolates and creamy caramels are turning up in new colour charts for housing exteriors. At long last, trends are inching away from bland neutrals to more exhilarating alternatives.

Truly, colour options are enormous with vinyl siding, Hardie-plank siding, metal clad siding, and even cedar siding. With a wealth of choice in siding material and colour, why make a boring colour decision when you can make a bold one?

Surprise—black may be the new grey in 2019! Although softer greys and blues with white trim have their place, picture as an alternative saturated dark blues and deep forest greens. All these exterior colours look new and hip with black trim and a black front door. Furthermore, an off-white home (all-white can be too stark) looks deliciously modern combined with black trim. While a bright red or fuschia door has made a strong statement in the past, out with the old and in with the new! Designers are honing in on black as the new colour of choice for exterior accent colours.

Indeed, with all these deep dark colours drenching home exteriors in 2019, they also hide an array of imperfections and make exterior cleaning considerably easier.

From loud and bold to quiet and discreet, happily there is always a colour aesthetic to please everyone. Consider too that the size of the home should be assessed before making a final colour decision. Naturally, you can choose whatever colour combinations you want with a bigger home. But, just because a home or cabin is small doesn’t mean it can’t be huge on style. With bold black trim and a lighter exterior colour, such as aqua, homeowners are getting braver and more creative with exterior colour selection for next year.

Exterior siding colour has the power to set the mood and tone for first impressions of your home. The majority of homeowners are apprehensive about going with a vivid exterior colour. Consequently, they go with the safe bet of beige. Although safe, beige is not an exciting exterior colour design for 2019.
