8. Stormy Blue Shingle Siding with Matte Black Standing Seam Metal Roof
Introduction and What This Idea Means
Cedar or composite shingle siding brings organic texture to coastal or rustic homes. Finishing the shingles in a stormy blue hue, topped with a sharp matte black standing seam metal roof, creates a sleek, weather-resistant gothic retreat.
How to Make It
Install individual exterior wood or composite shingles across your home’s exterior walls, coating them in a stormy blue semi-solid stain. Hire roofing professionals to install a modern matte black standing seam metal roof that sheds heavy rain and snow with ease.
Tips
Semi-solid stains allow the natural wood grain texture of shingles to show through subtly while providing deep color saturation.
