Wood cladding is a versatile and timeless choice for enhancing the aesthetics of a house. Whether you’re looking to create a rustic, contemporary, or traditional look, wood cladding offers a wide range of design possibilities. In this blog post, we’ll explore various wood cladding aesthetics that can transform your home’s exterior into a stunning visual statement.

Traditional Elegance: Traditional wooden clapboard siding can exude timeless elegance. Choose rich, dark wood species like mahogany or red cedar and install them horizontally for a classic, refined appearance. Crisp white trim complements the wood’s warm tones beautifully.

Scandinavian Simplicity: The Scandinavian design philosophy is all about simplicity and functionality. Light-coloured wood cladding, such as pine or spruce, can help you achieve this look. Pair it with minimalist detailing, neutral colours, and large windows for a clean, airy feel. Lunawood have mastered this art.
