Top Exterior Design Trends for 2025 - Featuring LP Building Solutions Products

The design world is constantly evolving, and 2025 is shaping up to be a year of bold choices, natural aesthetics, and performance-driven materials. For builders, remodelers, and homeowners alike, staying ahead of these trends means combining beautiful design with dependable durability. That’s where LP Building Solutions products shine, delivering both the visual appeal and the structural strength that modern builds demand.

Here are the top current exterior design trends, and how LP® products can help you bring them to life.

1. Natural Textures and Earth-Inspired Tones

Trend Insight: Today’s homeowners are embracing nature—not just in landscaping, but on their exteriors too. Expect to see more woodgrain textures, earth-tone palettes, and organic materials that create a sense of warmth and authenticity.

LP Product Match:

LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Naturals delivers rich, nature-inspired colors and realistic cedar-grain textures in a durable engineered wood substrate. Available in shades like Bonsai Black and Weathered Walnut, it’s the perfect blend of rugged aesthetic and modern performance.

2. Contrasting Color Palettes

Trend Insight: Whether it’s black and white modern farmhouses or charcoal siding with warm natural wood accents, contrast is king in 2025. Bold pairings give homes depth and curb appeal while maintaining a clean, modern look.

LP Product Match:

Use LP SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Trim & Siding in deep hues like Abyss Black or Cavern Steel alongside lighter tones of trim to achieve that sought-after contrast. The durable factory finish holds color beautifully and resists fading, so your bold design stays vibrant.

3. Mixed Materials for Visual Interest

Trend Insight: Combining different siding styles—like vertical board and batten with horizontal lap—adds architectural interest without overwhelming the eye. Pairing textures and profiles creates dimension and modern appeal.

LP Product Match:

LP SmartSide products are available in a wide range of profiles, including lap, panel, and shake styles, allowing designers and builders to mix materials while maintaining a consistent, high-performance product line across the project.

4. Prefinished Products That Save Time on Site

Trend Insight: Speed and consistency are more important than ever. Prefinished products not only look great but also reduce time and labor on the jobsite.

LP Product Match:

The LP SmartSide® ExpertFinish® line offers prefinished siding and trim in a variety of colors and textures, eliminating the need for most on-site painting. That means faster builds, less weather disruption, and a more consistent finish.
