Vertical cladding
For a contemporary and unique design look no further than a vertical cladding profile. Vertical lines can be an important architectural detail, as they make roof heights appear more elevated and bring variety and texture to external walls. This look is elevated by combining different widths, bringing modern barn-style homes to life. The modern farmhouse aesthetic is ideal for those who love stylish bold design and simplicity.

If you’re looking to add some warmth or unique contrast, then consider using panel cladding with some texture. The rustic appeal of the ‘board and batten’ look also works well with the high pitched roofs seen in the modern farmhouse style. Board and batten gives you the freedom to create something completely different such as random spacing, or maintain that uniform look with structured spacing.

Horizontal weatherboards Whether you’re drawn to the traditional Villa, or prefer a more contemporary look, then you can’t go past the clean horizontal lines of weatherboards. Paint them light to achieve a coastal or country design, or go bold and paint them dark for a modern interpretation of a Kiwi classic. Linea™ Weatherboard and Linea™ Oblique™ Weatherboard deliver on any design brief and will give your home a timeless feel that never dates.

PAINT TRENDS
WITH RESENE
Exterior paint trends with Resene Go contemporary with black For those building new or undertaking a full update of their home exterior, blacks and near blacks such as Resene All Black, Resene Foundry and Resene Element are the paint colours of choice to get a contemporary look on walls and fences.

Warmer whites The popularity of light greys and deeper whites – especially in double or triple strengths – is also holding strong. While neutral colours are trending warmer overall, the shift is moving faster indoors than it is outdoors and homeowners and designers still have a strong preference for painting their exteriors in greyed off tones such as Resene Double Merino, Resene Triple White Pointer and Resene Double Sea Fog.
Blue days Those looking for more colour but not full-on blacks are choosing weathered blue greys and grey blues, such as Resene Dusted Blue and Resene Neutral Bay. These continue to be top choices, as are greyed greens with warmer undertones, such as Resene Siam and Resene Flax, which better coordinate with natural surroundings than bluer greens do.
