2021 Trends For Your Home Improvement Project
As we progress into 2021 we are beginning to get an idea as to what the year may look like. We are seeing trends that are looking to blaze the path when it comes to home improvement projects.
If your home is in need of an exterior “facelift” here is what we see trending this year to help inspire your creative eye when it comes to refreshing the exterior of your home.
Siding Trends In 2021.
Vinyl siding is still the leading siding option for 2021. Vinyl siding offers a high-quality, versatile, and virtually maintenance-free option for your home. Popular color palettes however have taken a turn towards a variety of dark colors. Colors like deep blues, greens, and browns or even natural cedar colors are taking over homes across the country and it does not look to be going anywhere soon. We are proud to offer beautiful, long-lasting residential siding options from the top manufacturers in the field, CertainTeed, Mastic, and Foundry. These manufacturers carry a vast selection of color palettes to fulfill any Pinterest board dream that you have for your home’s exterior.
As we all know, HGTV and Pinterest are the “go-to” places when it comes to creating the perfect vision of what your home could look like. A lot of these platforms are targeting these dark colors and are pointing the way for industry trends.
Accessorizing Your Home.
The dark shades of blues, greens, and browns are best complemented with accents and decorative design products. This year we expect to see more when it comes to the addition of decorative design products to add a little more character to a home.
The first trend that we are seeing run over from 2020 is the craftsman-style gables. Adding gables to your home is one of the quickest and easiest ways of enhancing the curb appeal of your home at a reasonable price!
Next would be the option of adding a pop of color to your home with a colorful front door. We have seen a pop of blues, greens, and even oranges being added to homes as a statement piece. This trend is mostly found when adding a craftsman-style door to the home and for a little extra pop, you can add the addition of glass inserts.
One trend that is taking a more functional approach is the look of wooden accents but made from vinyl material. This popular choice of vinyl shudders, columns, and posts are making the “wood” accents that we all love the look of last longer and become maintenance-free.
Window Trends For 2021.
Double-hung windows are here to stay. This window option is a customer favorite for it can be lifted from the bottom or lowered from the top, providing excellent ventilation, easy to clean, and is energy efficient! There is no surprise that these windows will take over again in 2021.
If you are looking for something modern, we have you covered. Black interior with black exterior windows is coming into style and giving the windows a sleek uniform look.
And of course, there is always the faithful and evergreen look of the standard white vinyl window that will never fade or go out of style.
One of the great companies we work with is Alside Mezzo. Their window line is of high quality with fair prices and quality service when it comes to any warranty issues that what we have found with any other manufacturers. Perfect for all the window options you would like to explore.
Do Not Forget About The Roof.
Your roof is a major part of the overall look of the home that gets passed up as more of a functional item, rather than a key component of bringing the look of your home altogether. Kind of like a cherry on top of a sundae.
The top roofing colors that we predict will be the most popular in 2021 are Weatheredwood which has the feature colors brown-beige, and gray and then Silver Burch-energy star shingle with the featured color being minty light gray. The safest bet for the best outcome is to match the siding to the featured color and of course, speak with your Exteriors of Lansing contractor.
However, A more neutral roof color allows a strong siding color to stand out and really showcase your home.
Exteriors Expert Tips: 1) Your first step towards a refreshed look to your home is getting the financing together. Lead times can be long for both the finance process and the construction process. You want to be able to jump on the process as soon as possible to get in the lineup, for the industry is experiencing long wait times with many people looking to renovate.
2) Have an idea of the color line family you’re interested in and we can guide you as to what is available. We have a talented design team who can give professional advice as to adding other accents and decorations to your project to add a little “pop” to you home.
