Your home’s exterior has a significant impact on its style and market value. But remodeling or building the perfect exterior is a challenge with a sometimes unpredictable supply chain and the chaotic housing market. Rather than a full overhaul, exterior accents can help homeowners add more curb appeal to their homes in versatile and cost-efficient ways.
Here are a few ideas to inspire your home’s exterior or next remodel when you need design solutions that make a real impact.
Give your home more visual impact with natural exterior materials that complement its surrounding environment. The landscaping around this modern home pops against the neutral palette of the home’s exterior, and the wood-like paneling from Nichiha offers even more organic texture to elevate the overall design.
Using fiber cement panels gives your home stylish protection, and homeowners around the globe have remodeled their exteriors with Nichiha panels because of their extensive finish options. Our catalog of finishes ensures that you get the design you want without compromising durability.
A bold black entry facade paired with natural wood doors and columns adds impact to this minimalist home. The black accent wall paired with the light-colored wood and concrete allows the entryway to give off a modern, fresh exterior style that’s sure to draw people’s attention.
The fiber cement panels work well on exteriors because they offer such high-performing and cost-efficient results. “One of the main reasons that architects opt for fiber cement over other low-cost alternatives is that, when detailed properly, it looks like a much more expensive product,” according to editors from Architizer.
Even in smaller entryways, exterior accents make a big difference and add distinction to your exterior. Wood-like panels give this modern doorway a clean, fresh look, helping create a design that stands out from the rest of the home.
Whether you’re after a simple, modern feel or something luxurious, Nichiha’s fiber cement siding comes in a wide variety of finishes, so homeowners can add to (or replace) their exterior design’s style.

Exterior accents are an opportunity to add design details that look intentional and play into the rest of the project’s aesthetic. The wood panels installed on this patio’s ceiling add the perfect amount of texture and luxury to the outdoor design.
Fiber cement panels from Nichiha also give homeowners additional protection against the elements, even in severe weather, coastal climates and disaster-prone regions.
“I like clean, simple lines,” homeowner Sasaki Momoe said about their California home design.
Mixing materials on the home’s exterior created the minimalist, linear look that Momoe was after when adding exterior accents to successfully finish the home’s design. “I’m 100 percent satisfied with these panels,” said Momoe.
Fiber cement also offers a lower maintenance solution for exterior protection than materials like wood, which needs refinishing and more frequent upkeep.
Bright colors offer stunning support to any exterior design, and this studio’s beautiful blue exterior is accented perfectly with wood-like paneling that emphasizes the impact of color. This space is sure to impress and be a stand-out design in the community.
Homeowners, architects and builders love using fiber cement because of this versatility. “The added benefit of protection against the elements does not mean you need to compromise on decorative design. Fiber cement can achieve any look from sleek and modern to charming colonial,” writes Jonathan Kozlowski for For Construction Pros. “A fiber cement product can add style and value to a home’s exterior, without losing functionality.”
