Here Are the Top Siding Style Trends We’re Expecting for 2025
For homeowners looking to transform their property with new siding, the choices are truly endless. From material options like fiber cement and vinyl, various siding styles to change the character of your home, and of course virtually limitless color options, it can be overwhelming to choose the right products for your home. In this situation, it can be helpful to look at siding trends, and in 2025 the siding styles are bold, beautiful, and almost limitless.
Xtreme Exteriors is the leading siding installer in the Midwest. We love helping homeowners choose the perfect new look for their home—then transform it in front of their eyes. While siding is much more than just the style you choose, we find this is a great place to start! Here are our top siding style trends for 2025.
Board and Batten
Board and batten siding gives any home a distinctive look, and homeowners have been loving this style for a couple years leading up to 2025. We expect that trend to continue!
Board and batten siding comprises vertical planks (boards) whose seams are then covered with strips of molding (battens). Unlike more traditional siding options, board and batten has a vertical orientation with prominent seams. This gives your home a clear and obvious texture, which can add a striking look to the profile of your home.
Many homeowners are choosing this style for its unique appearance, as they feel it gives their home a modern farmhouse look. What’s more, this style of siding works with a wide range of colors. It can even be used as a textural accent, as seen on the home pictured below. As the Midwest’s leading James Hardie installers, we’re particularly fond of their board and batten products.
Shake Siding
For even more texture, shake siding is a popular choice. Shake siding is a form of shingle siding that is meant to emulate wood shake. While true wood shake siding is not recommended, due to the fire hazards and vulnerability to pests and rot, many manufacturers have developed synthetic products that can imitate this iconic, natural appearance.
Due to the intentionally uneven pieces, shake siding will not produce the same clean lines you see with products like lap siding and board and batten. This typically lends a more rustic, old-school appearance to homes, and this appearance emerged as one of the more surprising siding trends leading into 2025.
What’s more, while shake siding has typically produced a rustic look, newer synthetic shake products are available in a much broader array of colors. This means homeowners can get the texture of shake siding without being confined to wood tones. Alside Ascend is a popular collection featuring various wood look siding styles.
Lap Siding
While unique siding styles like board and batten or shake have been popular choices, one of the enduring siding trends we expect to continue in 2025 is keeping things simple. Lap siding is as popular as ever, and this traditional look is perfect for a wide range of homes.
Lap siding is the most classic style of siding, with horizontal boards layered across one another in an overlapping fashion. It’s an iconic look that suits basically any home.
Homeowners looking to achieve a more subtle curb appeal with their home may pair lap siding with more prominently styled trim, shutters, doors, and windows. On the other hand, for those looking to add color to their home, the straightforward style of lap siding can help keep the look from being too overwhelming.
Lap siding is widely available from many leading manufacturers, giving homeowners a wide range of high-quality products to choose from.
Bold and Bright Colors
Lastly, we’ve alluded a few times to bolder color choices. This is because it’s one of the top trends we’re expecting to gain steam throughout 2025.
Homeowners everywhere are looking for ways to ensure their home stands out from the assortment of off-whites and other neutral colors that may be lining their street. This has led many to opt for brighter colors and higher-contrast pairings.
These looks are far from pastel, as there are many ways to add a pop of color to your home without making it painful to look at. Opting for a more distinctive color can add lots of life to your home, however, helping it feel fresh every time you pull into the driveway.
