A home’s exterior is crucial for making a good first impression, and staying updated on exterior trends can enhance curb appeal, increase home value, and improve living space comfort. Westlake Royal Building Products, known for innovation in exterior and interior building products, provides insights into five anticipated home exterior trends for 2024.

Connection with Nature

  • Biophilic design, emphasizing a connection with nature, enhances well-being and productivity. Trends include green roofs, living walls and large windows.
  • Contrasting light and dark colors, like matte black with brick, stone, shingles or wood, creates dramatic outdoor spaces.
  • Earthy tones, such as navy blue, forest green, dark brown and red, combined with nature-inspired materials offer organic texture and warmth. Other trending colors for 2024 include vivid teal and aqua blue for a sense of serenity.

High-Performance Siding

  • As climate change continues to intensify and lead to severe weather, there is a growing need for high-performance, weather-resistant building products.
  • Celect Cellular Composite Siding, a premium PVC siding from Westlake Royal Building Products, replicates the beauty and aesthetics of wood while remaining low maintenance and durable. Its patented interlocking seam design keeps moisture out and minimizes seams. Plus, its Kynar Aquatec coating provides superior protection against UV rays, reduces energy demands, and resists dirt, staining and insects.

Functional Outdoor Living Spaces

  • Outdoor design focuses on seamless connections between interior and exterior spaces.
  • Integration of outdoor kitchens and living areas is a trend. Elements like fire pits, pizza ovens and outdoor entertainment enhance personalization.
  • Cohesive materials and textures, such as stone veneer, can tie the outdoor space to the home’s interior.

Mixed Materials and Textures

  • Blending various textures, finishes and materials creates visually dynamic exteriors.
  • Combining materials like brick and vinyl siding or stone and wood adds depth and interest.
  • Versetta Stone delivers the authentic look and feel of stone in a panelized format that is easy to install.

Transitional Takes on Tradition

  • Versatile design transcends trends for long-term relevance and appeal.
  • Look for a rise in classic design trends featuring elements such as vertical siding, crisp white trim and other modernized traditional styles.
  • A shift away from minimalism towards more nostalgic, personal touches brings in a transitional style in 2024.
