It’s the exact same style as the previous house but in different colors. The upper portion of the house has grey board and batten vinyl while the lower sections have faux-stone vinyl cladding. The dormer has horizontal cladding, but it’s in the same subtle shade of grey. But when you’re exploring modern vinyl siding ideas, you may be surprised by how well black trim works.
Stucco or render has been used on homes all over the world for centuries, so it’s no wonder that it continues to enjoy popularity today. Stucco can be finished quite roughly for a more rustic feel or very smooth for a more refined look, and adapts to several different architectural styles. Different pigments can also be added when the stucco is mixed to enhance the style of your home. The smooth finish and uniform shapes on these stone veneer bricks add elegance and grandeur to this modern hacienda.
Lifting Upper Story
Connections to and through the site are enhanced through the creation of new larger window and door openings. Screened porches and decks perch above the sloped and wooded site. The new kitchen and bathrooms allow for opportunities to feel out-of -doors while preparing, cooking, dining, and bathing. Smart passive strategies guide the environmental choices for this project, including envelope improvements, updated mechanical systems, and on-site stormwater management. Not every home has a roofline that ends right at the second story; some have an additional peak that extends upward, raising the height of the home and bringing the eyes upward.
In this house, the grey vinyl siding is complemented with bold black detail along the gutters, window sills, soffits, balcony railings, and even pillars that hold up the porch. Two tone siding has long been a popular way to complete a home’s facade. This exterior takes it to a new level, mixing not only two colors, but also two styles of siding as well. The light architectural panels on the upper portion of the house contrast nicely the warm-colored, wood-look siding installed below. Traditional vertical siding, such as board-and-batten, can make a very striking statement on many architectural styles.

On the other hand, wood siding is one of the easiest materials to update with paint or stain. Other materials often need to be completely replaced if you want to give your home’s exterior a fresh look. Many contemporary abodes feature interesting materials like smooth concrete, glass sheets, and textured panels.
Accent colors, textures, lighting, and landscaping are all being chosen to accentuate certain parts of the home's façade right now. Black is also becoming a popular accent color and is increasingly being requested as a trim color. Windows with black accents and trim are becoming increasingly popular. This is also owing to white's prevalence in exterior color trends. Black accents and trim look well with white siding and provide a clean, stunning look. As more individuals replace their original paint with white, white is expected to continue to dominate the exterior siding industry.
Emphasizing Visual Height
5.Create a modern spin on a classic with rustic touches.Modern farmhouse siding is all the rage, and bright white siding can bring the epitome of modern to your home. However, adding rustic touches like natural wood columns or a front door can be a great nod to the history of the style while maintaining modern flair. This modern home features a lot of different materials, which helps call attention to various parts of the home.
In this case, the blue coloring and dark roof bring out the dramatic contrast with white trim. This combination, combined with the bright colors in the landscape, is very appealing, giving a more modern and interesting look to the façade. To help make the transition easier, rather than covering both in the same type of siding, highlight the differences between them by switching siding types. This side building uses a vertical board-and-batten siding over the majority of the exterior, using a horizontal lap only as an accent. Combined with the more architectural look of the main home, this gives the entire property a fresh look and a lot of visual appeal.
Vertical House Siding Ideas
With the many ways that you can use house siding to complete your home or business, you’ll have no trouble finding something that’s just right. Whether you use cedar-look shingles or traditional lap siding, you’ll have no trouble completing your home’s facade with beautiful, durable, fiber cement siding. While horizontal lap siding remains one of the most popular and frequently used siding styles across the country, it’s far from the only way to side your home. Many other siding styles, such as vertical siding, can sometimes help you highlight areas of your home’s architecture and design much more effectively. Many modern designs use differently shaped sections like this to create more dynamic lines.
Photography by Jim Tetro This house, built in the 1960s, sits southfacing on a terrific wooded lot in Bethesda, Maryland. The owners desire a whole-house renovation which would improve the general building fabric and systems, and extend the sense of living out of doors in all seasons. The original sixties-modern character is preserved and the renovation extends the design forward into a contemporary, modern approach.
All these buildings have the same size, shape, and layout, but by using a different color for each wing, you can create distinct spaces and characters. Also, that modern vinyl siding is horizontal, but by using panels of different widths, the effect is far more intriguing than traditional or Dutch lap siding options. You probably have an idea of what your dream home looks like.
The idea behind traditional vinyl siding is to mimic wood while cutting costs and reducing maintenance headaches. But modern vinyl siding plays with a vast melting pot of concepts and designs. This house uses vertical siding, but it’s white and has ultra-thin battens that set off the black window trim. Homes like this one, which feature two distinct buildings, look their best when the architecture is emphasized with different types of house siding. As long as some modern elements exist on the building’s exterior, it’s also possible to use predominately traditional siding, such as this horizontal lap siding. If you think realistic plastic is the exception, here’s another example of modern vinyl siding done right.
What you side your home with can have a major impact on your home’s curb appeal, as well as its protection from the elements. If you have a modern home, it’s important to have the exterior covering match, which can mean getting creative with your siding and what you do with it. Fiber cement’s versatility makes it one of the best sidings for modern homes, giving you plenty of options that are modern, contemporary, and the perfect fit for your home.
But instead of planks, the vinyl is machined into large rectangular grids. The lumber strips act as an accent, reducing the overall amount of maintenance. This sleek property displayed above uses horizontal lap siding to emphasize the clean and contemporary look with a sharp gray color palette throughout the exterior.
Stone
This color works well paired with its softer cousin, Cobble Stone. To break up the vertical lines, the lower half of the home is clad in two different materials as well. Metal siding is used in a shingle and panel form, so you get a lot of depth that mixes well with the many windows.
