Being a homeowner doesn’t always have to be about maintenance and repairs. Good home design and the colours you choose when it comes to your siding, front door, and windows can all have a deep impact on your home ownership journey.

Mountain Sage – James Hardie’s Colour of the Year
It’s official, the 2024 colour of the year according to James Hardie is Mountain Sage, a natural green hue available in proprietary ColourPlus Technology finishes. This colour trend aligns with the growing interest in biophilic design choices as well as unique yet restrained siding colours. This colour, as well as others in the same palette, promote a sense of tranquility, a connection with nature, and flexibility in design styles, catering to the evolving preferences of homeowners who seek distinctive exterior choices for their homes.
Mountain sage stands out among the more common exterior colour choices such as beige, white and gray. In a sea of standard tones, this balanced green hue captures attention with its distinctive and calming presence. What sets this colour apart especially is its ability to establish a profound connection with nature. The colour not only brings a touch of the outdoors to your home but also complements natural textures seamlessly.
