Another thing you must know is related to style. The use of this half and half design is often considered suitable only for traditional homes. The fact you must know is that it can be an excellent choice for modern houses too.

The pairing between brick and siding is suitable for building and remodeling projects. If you plan to do one of those soon, it would be nice to inspire your mind a bit more by knowing about all the fantastic combinations available to pick.

In this post, we will share with you the 12 fantastic design options to follow when you want to create a home exterior with half siding and half brick design. By knowing all the selections, you will know which one is the most suitable one to apply in your living place.

1. Stylish Modern Half Brick and Half Wood Siding

For the first idea option, let us start with this contemporary home. As shown in the picture, you can see that this exterior uses the two main materials we talk about here in half and half design.

The lower part of this house is grey brick material. We managed to find the information that it is actually thin brick.

The upper part of the house and some small portion of the lower building are wood siding. It possibly got some staining treatment, but we can still see the natural appearance of the wood, which is nice.

A design like this is highly recommended to pick when you want to create a contemporary or any other modern styles in the exterior. There are some points we can find from it about that.

The first is clearly about the grey brick material on the lower part of the house. The tone itself is just excellent for any contemporary residential building.

If you look closely, it also has a sleek and neat, uniform appearance that fits the style even better. We particularly want to say that we love how the brick is installed with a very minimum grout, which almost looks invisible in the design. It strengthens the sleek visual.

Now let us talk about the horizontal wood siding on the second floor of the house. The visual that it creates is the same, which is sleek and stylish.

In the picture, the type of wood siding used is not that wide. You must know that you can use any width that you want to create the look. The most important thing is how you must keep the sleek look.

Here is another example that you can take a look at as a comparison. It shows the combination of stained wood siding and old brick materials.

FYI, this is the photo of the house after it gets renovated. The orange brick material in the lower part of the house is already there since the beginning. That is why it has the kind of aged appearance in it.

Although so, we can see that the house still has a strong, stylish appearance. Thanks to the wide wood siding used on the upper part. It seems to prove that the house should not always have new, modern-colored bricks to make it looks fascinatingly stylish. You just need to know how to do the trick.

2. Half Brick and Dark Vertical Board and Batten Siding for a Bold Modern Industrial Look

This next design is excellent to pick if you want to build a bold industrial look. While you can choose any brick color here, you must consider the siding choice carefully.

In this case, we want you to focus more on the siding option. The best choice to create the industrial look is none other but the one with board and batter style.

However, you must know that this thing alone is not enough. To create an even stronger industrial look, you can complete the look by ensuring that the siding material is in a dark color like charcoal grey or black.

The picture contains a must-see example. The lower part of the exterior design is decorated with multi-color tan brick material.

In the upper part, you can see charcoal grey siding in board and batten style. Somehow it looks makes it look like it is from a metal material.

Other than pairing between the brick and siding in this bold exterior design, we love another detail here. It is the simple, sleek black-framed glass windows that excellently meet the exterior style.

3. Same Color Half Siding and Half Brick Exterior Design

When the thing you consider the most is color, and you do not know what to pick, here is a simple trick. First, you must choose a tone that you love the most or think to be most suitable to the exterior style.

The second thing to do is using the color for both of the brick and siding. In other words, the home exterior materials will have the same tone.

The main idea of this design is quite simple to do. Besides, it can create an amazing look as long as you can pick the right color.

The picture above is an example that you can look at. The farmhouse residence uses the half and half exterior design with black-painted siding and brick as the main materials.

Such a tone is suitable to pick for creating a bold look. Other color choices will, of course, result in a different visual.

The thing that we love about this farmhouse exterior is that the designer used a metal roof, which grey tone is effective in breaking the monotonous black hue of the house while at the same time looking compatible to be included in the exterior color scheme.

We also love the wooden front door with sidelights. It pops perfectly because of the black background and becomes the center of attention in the facade area.

4. Half Brick and Half Siding in the Same Color Category for a Coordinating Visual

If you are interested in the previous idea but do not like the monotonous look resulted, here is an alternative option to pick. You need to use the same color category but choose a different shade for each of the brick and siding.

To make this idea even more understandable, you can look at the contemporary exterior shown in the picture. As you can see, this home design uses the half brick and half siding idea.

The main exterior color used here is grey. However, you can see that the grey tone used for the siding on the second floor is different from the one used on the brick, which is darker.

Using this idea, you should not worry that the house will not look good because any shades of grey will always seem compatible with one another. As a bonus, you can get a unique exterior if you apply this idea.

5. An Aesthetic, Elegant Exterior with Dark-Stained Wood Siding, Light Brick Color, and Black Trim

Are you a fan of the aesthetic and elegant exterior? If yes, this next idea is the one for you.

Here, brick and siding are not the only types of material to include in the design. There is also trim that can perfect everything. For this design, the trim that we suggest you choose is black.

Another detail to pay attention to is that you can choose any tone of brick that you want as long as it is not dark. We suggest you do so because the recommended siding for this design is dark-stained wood siding.

If you choose dark brick as the pair for the wood siding, you may obtain the elegant visual but not the aesthetic look. On the contrary, light brick can bring out the dark siding and black trim tone tones even better.

As a result, the elegance of the dark tones will pop better without looking too much or dominating the exterior. The light brick color makes the aesthetic view of the house to be more enjoyable.

6. White Brick and White Siding Combinations for Another Type of Elegance

Elegance is not only possible to show by using dark tones. You can use white as another elegant tone for the half siding and half brick design if you want to.

Of course, when you choose white, the elegance you will see on the exterior will be different. It is more on the sweet and beautiful side. At the same time, it makes the house looks bright and clean too.

The traditional exterior above uses the same off-white color for both of the siding and brick. The yellowish undertone creates an antique look that makes the house seems even more beautiful. It gets better because of the addition of light grey and tan tones in the color scheme.

7. Cozy Half Mixed-Brown Brick and Half Navy Blue Horizontal Siding

We are still talking about elegance here. We want to say that dark shades of blue are other options that you can use to build up an elegant home design.

Here, let us talk about a specific option, which is navy blue. It is a color that you can use for the siding material for creating an elegant visual. The best thing about this tone is that it looks cozy too.

If you decide to use navy blue for the siding color, we suggest choosing a mixed-brown tone for the brick. The reason is that it also has a cozy impression on it. Besides, it looks good together with the navy too.

What about the regular brown brick? You can choose it too if you are not interested in the mixed-brown option. The visual that you will see in the exterior will be more or less the same because brown looks cozy. The only difference is that it can make the house seems darker on the outside.

8. Classic, Timeless Color Combination for Your Half Siding-Half Brick Home Exterior

Another option that you should not forget when designing an exterior with half siding and half brick design is the classic and timeless one. Of course, in this idea, the thing that you will count on the most is the choices of color that will build up the look.

There are so many timeless and classic color combinations that you can use when applying this idea. Two of the most popular ones are white and red or white and black.

The picture that we provide above contains a really good example. As you can see, the exterior design consists of white siding for the second floor’s material and red brick for the first floor.

Nothing will ever go wrong with this combination. It is especially when you only use the two tones in the color scheme.

9. Natural Wood Siding for a Rustic Touch in Your Half Brick Home

The pairing between siding and brick material can also be a suitable choice for creating a rough exterior. However, there is one most suitable siding material that we suggest you choose for that. It is none other but wood siding.

For an even stronger rustic feel, you can pick natural wood siding to pair with the brick material you choose. It will be even better when the wood is non-stained.

Take a look at the picture above as an example. The half lower part of the exterior has brown and orange brick. On the other hand, the top part of the house is adorned with natural, non-stained wood siding.

The wooden material is the one that gives a stronger rustic feel to the exterior. Although so, you must know that orange brick is also one that is excellent for the style.

Other color choices to consider for the brick is red and brown. All of them have a warm impression that is perfect for rustic design.

10. Whitewashed Brick and Siding to Create a Beautiful Look

In this idea, we will focus more on the brick material in the half and half exterior design. When creating such an exterior design, you need to know that you can use not only regular brick color or the fully painted one.

Another interesting option to take into consideration is whitewashed brick. The coloring method gives it a worn-out, reclaimed, and antique look that is so beautiful.

Depending on how you want the exterior to look, you can pair the whitewashed brick material with any type and color of the siding. The one you see in the pic is an example.

In this traditional exterior, the whitewashed red brick got off-white siding as the pair. The yellowish undertone of the siding is a really good match for the brick style because together, they strengthen the antique look of the exterior.

11. Half Brick Paired with Metal siding

Exterior siding is available in so many types that are not limited in wood or vinyl only. Some other choices are unique and are suitable to use in the half and half design that we are talking about in this post.

Here, we will use metal siding as an excellent example. We think that this material is quite interesting because many of it is available in shapes and colors different from any other siding types.

For example, please take a look at the picture above. This house uses the half brick and half siding design. And for the brick material on the lower floor, it has mixed-red tones.

The second-floor exterior design is quite interesting. It is basically because there are two types of siding used here: black corrugated metal siding and regular natural wood siding. Let us focus more on the metal siding in this case.

This material is suitable to install horizontally or vertically. No matter which one is your choice, you can get the unique exterior appearance that you will be fond of.

The color options for this material are quite a lot too. Some manufacturers provide pre-colored metal siding products that are ready to use. However, if you cannot find the tone you want, you can color it yourself.

You can even keep the original look of the metal siding that usually comes in metal colors like chrome or bronze. Another option that is also interesting to consider is the rusty look that is obtainable by doing a certain rust method.

12. Half Brick and Half Stucco Siding Combo

The last but not least option that is often forgotten is the pairing between half brick and half stucco. Many still do not know that stucco is also a type of wall siding.

While there are so many examples available as sources of inspiration, we found one that looks very interesting. Yes, it is shown in the contemporary exterior in the picture above.

This house looks so interesting because it uses another type of half and half design. As you can see, half of this house has white stucco material, while the other half has a dark grey brick with white grout. Together, both materials create a stunning look.

13. Closing

See, there are quite a lot of design options available for creating fantastic half brick half siding homes. The 12 variations that we shared above prove that the exterior visuals can also look amazing and not boring.

The design idea is even applicable not only for the traditional exterior. As you can see above, a lot of modern gained amazing appearances because of the half and half idea.

The application is also not limited in half and half horizontal style. The subheading number 12 proves that vertical style can look amazing too.

So what do you think about the exterior design idea using half siding and half brick? Do you find it interesting?
