Combine HardiePlank, cedar accents, and stone veneer to elevate your home's curb appeal. Explore our latest design strategies for a stunning, contemporary look.
The Rule of Three
When mixing exterior materials, designers often follow the rule of three: a primary material, a secondary material, and an accent. For example, horizontal lap siding as the primary, board-and-batten as the secondary for gables, and stone veneer for the base.
Creating Textural Contrast
The beauty of mixing materials lies in the contrast of textures. Pairing the smooth, clean lines of HardiePlank with the rugged, organic feel of a natural stone base creates dynamic visual interest.
Highlighting Architectural Features
Use contrasting siding to draw the eye to your home's best features. A striking cedar plank application around the front entryway can instantly make a home feel warm and inviting, standing out against a neutral main siding color.
Maintaining Balance
While mixing materials is trendy, it's important not to go overboard. Stick to a cohesive color palette. At DLUXE Construction, our design team uses 3D rendering to help you visualize the perfect combination before a single board is nailed.
