It’s no surprise that the latest colours come in and out of fashion in the world of home renovations. When it’s time to update our home’s exterior, many of us prefer a more timeless appearance.

That’s why grey remains an ideal choice, whether your home’s architectural style is modern or traditional. Although all-grey interiors may have had their day, a dreamy grey exterior adds the perfect quiet confidence to the outside of your house.

Here are the top reasons why:

A versatile neutral

Grey is a multitalented shade that complements any colour of front door, trim, or roof. The subtle undertones vary from cool blues to invitingly warm, creamy greys that suit even the most selective personal style. While cooler undercurrents of green, blue, or lavender in grey remain a strong choice for exteriors, the warmer varieties are heating up in 2022, as trends shift toward softer, natural colours for transitional and traditional homes.

High-end elegance

The right grey adds a sense of luxury and sophistication to your reno that will impress the neighbours and fit into any locale. Never drab, grey has become a classy, welcoming alternative to more attention-seeking trends like all-black or all-white exteriors. It adds an effortless, laidback glamour whether you select a bright and airy hue or a dark and moody one.

How to choose the right grey? Why our new Dry-Stack colour Slate is your fresh go-to

There’s a vast spectrum of shades to choose from, but you’ll know the right grey when you see it. Consider the style of your home, the feeling you want to evoke, and the materials you’re using to create your vision.

Fusion Stone now has the perfect choice when it comes to a grey exterior: the new Slate Dry-Stack is now available. A sumptuous colour that masterfully incorporates tints of white as well as grey, this stone veneer offers our most natural looking colour and most brick-like appearance. Slate is the perfect marriage of our earthier, moody Charcoal and the more traditional, burnt-orange Caramel colourways in the Dry-Stack line.

Whether you’re updating your whole exterior or just looking for an elegant accent for your front porch or columns, Fusion Stone’s new Slate colour can bring your vision of a welcoming timeless home to life.
