Every home could use a facelift once in a while. If you’re considering updating your siding but simply can’t choose between stone and vinyl, you don’t have to! Mixing and matching siding types can create a dynamic and appealing look to your home’s exterior.
It can become overwhelming with so many options for mixing and matching stone and vinyl siding. Here are a few things to consider when updating your home’s facade.
COLOR COORDINATION
This rule is basic, but it’s important to keep in mind! Remember that your stone siding will likely have color variation. Choose styles that complement one another and create a unified aesthetic.
Start by picking your stone color first, as this will make it easier to choose a coordinating vinyl siding accent color. Keep the bold colors indoors and stick to neutral colors on your exterior. The last thing you want is to have colors that end up clashing and ruining the overall curb appeal.
CREATE FOCAL POINTS
If your home has a particularly interesting architectural feature — like columns or a unique entryway — stone can be a great way to call attention to it as a focal point. When matched with vinyl siding, it can create interesting texture and depth to your facade that wouldn’t be possible with vinyl alone.
TRY MULTIPLE COMBINATIONS
Variety is the spice of life, and that’s also true for mixing and matching stone and vinyl siding combinations!
