When it comes to home design, there aren’t many things more important than choosing the perfect colour palette. Here at Cladding Monkey, we’ll walk you through the most fashionable, contemporary selections of cladding colours, from the ever-popular and practical to the bold and unexpected.
Red/Brown Wood:
In the top spot, red cedar-inspired wood cladding is one of the most enduringly popular options for residential cladding.
This type of wood has an attractive combination of warm reds, browns, and salmon pinks, enhancing practically any home’s inherent beauty and character. These hues work well with your house’s external brickwork and create a natural look that inspires cosiness. For a modern appearance, place external cladding in these hues at a vertical orientation.
Internally, reddish brown cladding looks stunning paired with dark walls and industrial furnishings, creating a combination of warmth and contemporary style—an excellent option for cafes or restaurants looking to stand out.
Grey:
For a modern style with a Nordic influence, we recommend grey cladding. This subtle and fresh look, a big trend among design-conscious do-it-yourselfers and architects, produces a modern atmosphere at one with the Earth and rejects anything artificial.
Although high-quality timber might weather naturally to give a grey appearance, contemporary PVC cladding with a satin or gloss finish guarantees a high-performance product with a consistent, polished look.
Grey cladding paired with anthracite windows creates a stunning focal feature for your home. This timeless, stripped-back style makes it a confident choice for those who appreciate Scandinavian influences.
Black:
Another popular choice in modern urban design is black cladding, especially when creating a statement. It produces an unquestionably striking and captivating building with a harder-wearing, more resilient finish than render, as it won’t flake and can withstand the harsher elements.
When used as an accent piece, black cladding can create an eye-catching image that looks stunning paired with matching windows. Its versatility allows for a range of design possibilities, inspiring unique and captivating building designs.
Internally, pair black cladding with dark furnishings and khaki green accents to create a moody ambience in your home. Panels offer the opportunity to break free of the interior mould and add an industrial look to your property that’s guaranteed to turn heads.
Natural:
While golden cladding looks great in modern settings, it can also blend in with a rural setting. If you opt for wood cladding combined with rich grain and a scattering of knots, you’ll bring a real feel of natural beauty to your home or business. Once more, for a more contemporary look, choose a vertical profile.
Natural colours such as cream and white always offer a clean, modern finish in internal cladding. They are excellent for businesses looking for sanitary options, as hygienic cladding is often provided in these colourways.
Blue:
Last but not least, blue cladding is becoming increasingly popular in 2024, with many property owners opting for cool shades that produce a relaxing environment and allow them to stand out from the crowd.
A soft mint blue looks incredible in bathroom cladding when paired with metallic taps and stone accents, while a cool grey-blue cladding wall looks fabulous in office buildings with rich brown furnishings and lots of natural light. Finally, an inky blue with its dramatic hues will look stunning in homes or commercial buildings when paired with mustard accents.
