How to Decorate With Finished Cement Siding Colors

Decorate an exterior with finished cement siding much as you would around any other type of siding. Cement can be a temperamental material to work with, so some landscaping projects that use it may require a more specialized skill set and additional time to complete or the help of a professional. Use coordinating colors and materials to create a cohesive outdoor design scheme. For example, if you have red cement siding, choose other warm hues that complement the tone, such as oranges and yellows or a contrasting cool color like turquoise.
