9. Rustic charm
When you picture a cabin in the woods, you probably picture something with a natural, rustic charm. This is what makes a home decked out with timber cladding so appealing; it gives you the feeling that wherever it happens to be located, you are in a cabin in the woods.
10. Mixed materials
Mixed material wood cladding, metal and glass
A house or building done with only one material can appear bland, dull or dull. But by mixing hardwood cladding with glass, concrete, and metal, you can achieve a building with charm, depth, and dimension.
11. Trendy colors
There's nothing fancy about an interesting color by itself. But by pairing a fun color with natural wood cladding as a backdrop, the color will pop. These shelters are made even more interesting with colorful accents against the dark wood exterior.
12. Slatted Perfection
For many people, horizontal-lap siding is too traditional to express the style they want for their home. That's why different, but still traditional, board and batten-looking siding is so attractive. In this case, natural timber cladding was installed alongside traditional battens to bring texture and visual height to the building.
13. Cottage style ceiling
Cottage-style wood cladding for ceilings
The exterior of your home or building isn't the only place where you can install architectural wood cladding. Porches and overhanging undersides are also great for this lightweight material, giving you the look of a cottage ceiling.
14. Clad our windows
Windows are what bring a home or a building to life. So why not pay more attention to yours by extending your home's cladding around them? While the rest of these townhouses are brick, the windows are clad in wood to give them greater emphasis and style.
15. Level of interest
Cladding of different floors of buildings
When your home has multiple planes and levels, the last thing it needs is a variety of colors and exterior styles. Solid wood cladding helps emphasize the clean lines of this home, while that same cladding acts as an accent on the front, helping to let a little light in.
16. Let the light in
Beautiful wooden exterior cladding
Lightweight exterior cladding does not have to be used alone to give your building strong walls. In this case, the cladding is spaced widely to form a frame over the frosted glass of this boathouse. The result is a beautiful light day or night.

Want something different than traditional shiplap siding or plank and batten? Why not combine the two to create a unique look? The school was first installed in shiplaps, then vertically with thick slats. The result is a look with lots of interest, depth and shadows.
18. Geometric Lines

When your home or building has a long or unique shape, consider emphasizing this in your exterior cladding. The long, clean lines of the wood cladding draw the eye to the exterior of this home along its distinctive shape.
19. Irregular appearance

Who said wood cladding had to be straight, clean and with tight joints to be effective? This bathroom has an irregular edge, finished naturally by wooden planks of different lengths. The effect is one of organic movement rather than solid construction.
20. Emphasize style

With commercial buildings, sometimes you need to warm up your exterior a bit to keep it from getting too industrial. What better way to do this than with wood cladding? Timber is used as an ornament and installed in different directions, helping to warm up the exterior design.
